About Barbara

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have extensive experience teaching students from Primary School level, through to Secondary School and A-Level. I am able to teach English from all the major examination boards and all my students consistently report achieving at least two grades above their predicted grade in school.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

Yes - I have an Enhanced DBS certificate which I am happy to provide if requested.

- Tell me about some of your current students.

I reached out to Barbara as I was struggling with my English Language A-Level. I performed really poorly in my exams at AS Level and I became pretty desperate to find someone who was able to teach English Language at a high level, in a very professional but patient manner. Barbara stepped and with her support and guidance, I was able to get an A in my English Language A-Level and more importantly - I was accepted onto the University course of my choice: University of Exeter to study English Literature BA. She was amazing - well prepared, flexible with times, and she was always willing to meet me at a place most convenient for me.

Barbara is an outstanding tutor. I reached out to her, to help tutoring my 9-year old son. He is a bright spark but he has a lot of energy and he finds it really hard to concentrate for long in class. I reached out to Barbara to tutor him in English and French, and she was fantastic. She brought French language games for him, she gave him interesting English puzzles - as the conventional way of forcing him to sit down and read continuously for hours really doesn't work with him.

I really appreciate how she tailored her classes to suit his level of understanding, and he was able to creatively combine his energy with her French and English grammar games, to get better in class! Barbara really took a genuine interest in guiding and helping him, and she still comes in to tutor him regularly.

Barbara is currently teaching me English Language AS Level. I really struggled this winter to get decent grades in class tests in college, and I reached out to her just before Christmas. Have been having classes since this new year and she has been an ongoing supportive tutor - available when I need her, even on a last minute basis. Great tutor for English, and I am enjoying our evening tuition classes.

- Christiana Lucas

I engaged Barbara to support my daughter during her English GCSEs. My daughter particularly struggled with the English Literature side: interpreting poetry and long-form prose, and writing about it in a critical way. She was really struggling getting grades beyond a C but with Barbara's support she achieved an A in English. The support was invaluable and our daughter managed to get into the sixth form college of her choice. As a parent, I constantly worry if I'm spending too much on someone who is not very strong or supportive. I highly recommend Barbara - she was reliable, she always came to our home well prepared and her knowledge and expertise in respect to English Literature is amazing.

- Marta Sozynska

Barbara has been an incredible mentor and tutor; sharing her expertise and encouraging my daughter, who is she preparing to sit her A level English Language examination.
- Tania Talaga

Barbara has been tutoring English to my son for close to two years. My son has a learning disability and I needed someone who was patient and experienced in dealing with children with complex learning needs. My son is now 12 years old and Barbara has been tutoring him for close to two years. I really appreciate how patient and helpful she is, and how she makes her lessons very interactive for someone like him who is very smart - but just needs a bit of extra support at home, and at school. I recommend her if you are seeking someone to assist children and teenagers with educational special needs.
