Emma Lee Tuition

18/03/2020

In light of tonight's announcements about UK school closures and exam cancellations, I'll be running a FREE daily live stream Mon-Friday 10 - 10.30am on YouTube starting Monday 23rd March.

The topics will cover a range of year 10 and 11 stuff across exam boards. I'll be starting with Unseen Poetry and there'll be a 30-minute tutorial followed by opportunities to go away and practise skills at home.
