English tuition for year 8

Post by SleepyHead »

Would be grateful if anyone could please recommend a GCSE English tutor for my DC going into year 8

DC has always struggled with English, particularly comprehension and the whole 'PEE' concept, not providing enough detail to answers.

I;m looking for someone who can provide extra support. Please PM me for any recommendations in the Northwood/Pinner area.

Many thanks
Sleepy

I do hope you have spoken to your school English staff first?! I would be very surprised, if your DC are keen to improve, if the English staff would t be prepared to help one lunchtime or after school on a regular basis. That is if they don't run things already at school the the kids could access. Our teachers are always very willing to help a child who requests support, without the need for additional costly extras outside of school.
