Subjects Offered
Hi, I’m Sarah — a DBS-checked, PGCE-qualified English teacher with over 15 years’ experience. I offer personal one-to-one tuition in Saltash and online (and across Plymouth, Liskeard and Callington) for learners of all ages, backgrounds and abilities. I prepare students for SATs, Functional Skills, GCSE and A-Level, with particular expertise supporting SEND and TEFL learners. Every lesson is tailored to you — my aim is to make learning fun, take the fear out of it, and build real confidence, all at reasonable rates.
English Language Skills
From the essentials of grammar, punctuation and spelling to analysing tricky texts, I'll help you build the core skills behind every English qualification. Whether you're preparing for SATs, Functional Skills, GCSE or A-Level, I find the gaps holding you back and turn them into marks — at a pace that feels comfortable, never rushed.
Creative Writing
Staring at a blank page? I'll help you enjoy writing again, with clear techniques for planning, structure, vocabulary and openings that grab attention. Whether it's for GCSE, SATs, or simply the love of storytelling, I'll help you find your voice and write with real confidence.
Support for SEND & Anxious Learners
With deep experience supporting SEND learners and anyone who finds English or exams daunting, I build every lesson around you — calm, patient and pressure-free. My aim is to take the fear out of learning so that confidence, and grades, can grow. Every student is different, and I'll always meet you exactly where you are.
Reading Comprehension
I'll show you how to read closely, work out exactly what a question is asking, and back up your ideas with evidence. Using texts chosen around your own interests, I make comprehension feel less like a test and more like a conversation — building the analysis skills that lift you from a pass towards a top grade.
Spoken Language
From the GCSE Spoken Language endorsement to everyday confidence, I use relaxed, interactive activities to help you speak and listen with ease. It's a supportive, judgement-free space where even the most nervous speakers learn to share their ideas clearly — a skill that lasts well beyond the classroom.
Exam Technique & Revision
Knowing your material is only half the battle — the rest is showing it under exam conditions. I'll help you plan your time, decode what each question is really worth, structure answers the way examiners reward, and revise in ways that actually stick, so you walk in prepared and calm rather than panicked.
