Tutor in Wakefield

Qualified and experienced French teacher presently teaching secondary schools in Wakefield I also have experience teaching French to primary school pupils and Spanish up to Key Stage 3. I am friendly and build good rapport with pupils from the offset as well as igniting a passion for French culture because once pupils are interested, they tend to enjoy learning the language much more. I have experience preparing pupils for their GCSEs and have worked for a year improving pupil's speaking skills and confidence. The results at that school at the end of the year, were the highest in state schools across Wakefield. I have also undertaken roles supporting SEN pupils and am aware of how to make learning accessible to them. Whilst speaking and learning a foreign language can seem initially daunting, I aim to set pupil's minds at ease and believe real learning happens by making mistakes and then addressing them by being shown how to. Finally, lessons should be fun and engaging!

Fozila has been tutoring my child since September, My son is in Year 1 and has made fantastic progress.He was behind and was unable to read. Fozila has helped him a great deal and he is now where he should be! I am so pleased with the progress he has made. Mrs Mahmood
Wakefield

Our Year 6 daughter is dyslexic and autistic. She was struggling with SPAG , reading and writing. Before her first visit Fozila sent a lovely video message so that our daughter felt at ease for her first session. Fozila is always polite, punctual and professional. Our daughter found the sessions fun and engaging and has grown in confidence. She looks forward to these sessions and thinks Fozila is 'Kind and amazing'. We have been able to see the enormous progress our daughter has made both academically and personally. Jane

Waheed taught my son for two years in preparation for his Science GCSE. Waheed not only helped my son to secure excellent grades in the subject, but also built his confidence as a student. Waheed turned out to be more than a science tutor to my son; he and his cousin, who also had lessons with Waheed, saw him as an inspirational role model. Through his teaching, Waheed was able to reinforce the importance of values such as hard work, and respect. My son, naturally a shy person, found an adult that he was at ease communicating with. Waheed was exceedingly flexible in providing additional lessons in the run up to the GCSEs, which was very useful in focusing preparation upon the individual papers. We will always be grateful for Waheed's efforts, and glad that we found such a wise and engaging teacher. Dr Nuttall

My son had struggled with online learning during lockdown and emerged into his Year 11 with huge gaps in his knowledge and his confidence. As he is shy, he did not want to start learning with someone new, so it was always going to be a challenge for him to build a relationship in a short space of time via online teaching. Waheed did an incredible job of plugging the many gaps in his science knowledge, teaching him how to revise and organise himself but, more importantly, building his confidence and helping him overcome his mental blocks. In the period around his exams, Waheed tailored his timings and lessons to provide maximum support, and my son emerged with excellent results, despite science having been his weakest subject. Away from the actual learning, Waheed inspired my son with his warmth and care for him as a student, and I hope he's still available when my daughter is ready for her GCSEs. Dr Rachel Brown

Aaisha was a great teacher because she made learning interactive and engaging. Mrs H

Katy really understood my child's needs and helped her gain confidence and progress in English, which helped her improve within school. I would really recommend her. Rebecca

Grace is very friendly and excellent with my son. He seems to really enjoy her lessons . Miss Hamilton

There is no excellent learning without excellent teaching, and our teachers are expected to teach in a way that inspires and motivates. We have over 20,000 talented teachers providing tuition, chosen for their broad range of experience, professionalism, academic specialisms, passion, and dedication to their students. We only ever offer qualified teachers as tutors, as we believe professional teachers provide the highest quality of tuition.

Location
Home Tuition: Involves a teacher coming to your home in Wakefield to provide one-on-one instruction. This offers convenience as you don't need to travel. Online Tuition: This can take place anywhere with an internet connection. Small Group Tuition: Typically with between 2 to 4 children, and often occurs in a physical location such as your home, though it can also be online.

Individual Attention
Home Tuition: Offers the highest level of individual attention, as the tutor focuses solely on one student. Online Tuition: Still allows for one-to-one attention, but it may be slightly less personal than home tuition due to potential distractions. Small Group Tuition: Offers less individual attention as the tutor must divide their time and attention among multiple students.

Cost
Home Tuition: This tends to be more expensive because it involves one-on-one teaching, and the tutor is required to travel to your home, in Wakefield. Online Tuition: Often more affordable than home tuition as your tutor does not need to travel but may still cost more than small group tuition. Small Group Tuition: Generally, this is the most cost-effective option, as the costs are shared among several families.

Flexibility
Home Tuition: Offers flexibility in terms of scheduling and curriculum, as your tutor will only be working with your child. Online Tuition: Provides flexibility in terms of location and may offer a wider selection of tutors. Small Group Tuition: Lessons will be more difficult to schedule as lesson times will have to fit in with other families.

Interaction
Home Tuition: Offers in-person interaction, which can be beneficial for students who learn better through face-to-face communication. Online Tuition: Provides interaction through video conferencing tools and chat, which can be engaging but may not suit everyone's learning style. Small Group Tuition: Allows for peer interaction, which can benefit collaborative learning and discussions.

The choice between home, online, or small group tuition in Wakefield depends on your preferences, budget, and the student's specific educational needs. Each option has advantages and disadvantages, so it's essential to consider these factors when deciding.
