Anna Watson - English Tutor

11/08/2020

I currently have spaces available to help with:
- Giving children a headstart with GCSE and A-Level English courses
- Revision sessions for autumn resits
- Preparation for University Interviews
- Academic skills for students starting at University, or just about to start

Or just to encourage your child to expand their reading while having fun!

All my sessions take place online via Skype or Zoom, and I can offer one-off consultations or regular sessions.

I also work in local schools so I'm DBS checked, I have insurance and I'm up-to-date with guidance about working safely online.

Please pop me a message to enquire about 1-to-1 or group tuition.

I'm Anna Watson - a professional tutor with a passion for making English fun!

I've been tutoring for ten years, and it's my dream job! I love expanding my students' minds by delivering appropriately challenging lessons while still keeping a relaxed, supportive and fun environment. I particularly specialise in GCSE and A-Level English, but I've successfully taught a range of areas from 11+ to university writing skills so please get in touch to discuss your needs!

All my work is online at the moment so I can work with students anywhere.

I can offer:
- 1-to-1 tuition
- Consultation sessions to help students plan their reading and study following the Covid disruption
- Small group/sibling group tuition
- Revision sessions for students preparing for the October resits
- Teaching for home educated children
- Support with university applications

I have an academic background - I studied English Literature at Oxford and St Andrews universities - and lots of letters after my name!
Dr Anna Watson CELTA, DipABRSM, MA, MSt, PhD

As well as my work as an English tutor, I teach music in local schools and in the community.

Sometimes it takes the stress out of home learning if somebody else is telling your child what to do!

I can help with online tuition and support such as:
✨ One-to-one, group or sibling tuition sessions
✨ Setting and marking work
✨ Support in English, Music, university preparation or across the curriculum
✨ Help with music practice
✨ 'Just for fun' sessions that children will love, such as singing sessions for under 7s, adventures in reading or creative writing.

I am a PhD graduate with degrees from Oxford University and the University of St Andrews. I have extensive experience of private tutoring and I also work in Hull primary schools as a Violin and Early Years Music teacher.

£35/hour - discounted rates available for group sessions.
Flexible timing - e.g. I could set work in a 20 minute session, then pop back online after an hour to give feedback and set another task.

Shorter sessions available for younger children including lovely music and singing sessions.

Limited spaces available - get in touch if you would like to discuss how I can help!
