Questions parents ask
Before you book
If your question is not here, email me and I will answer it — and probably add it to this page.
What does my child need for a lesson?
A laptop or tablet, a quiet spot, and a pen and paper. Everything else — slides, worksheets, past papers — is in the student portal.
Do you teach my child's exam board?
Yes. I teach to AQA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC specifications — just tell me which one their school follows and I will plan around it.
Are you DBS checked?
Yes. I am a medical student and DBS checked, and I have volunteered teaching children for several years. I am happy to share my certificate before we start.
How do I pay?
By bank transfer. I will send you my details after the trial lesson, along with a simple record of the lessons each payment covers.
Can I see how my child is getting on?
Yes. The family login shows every piece of homework, its mark and my feedback, and you can message me directly at any time.
What if we need to rearrange?
Just let me know two working days ahead and we will find another time at no charge. Illness and emergencies I will always be reasonable about.
How long is each lesson?
One hour is standard and suits most students. If your child is younger or working towards the 11+, shorter and more frequent sessions sometimes work better — we can talk about it on the consultation call.
Do you teach in the school holidays?
Yes, and holidays are often the most useful time — there is no homework competing for attention, so we can cover ground properly or work through past papers before mocks.

Let's talk about your child
Ten minutes on a video call is usually enough to tell whether I am the right tutor for them. If I am not, I will say so.
