From Elizabeth (/5): Lucy has tutored my son to prepare him for his GCSE language resit, he achieved a grade 5 which is a great improvement from his original grade 2 result.
From Stuart (/5): First lesson wasnt free like many other tutors. No printed materials, relying on note tsking and laptop **E-mail Address Removed**for visual content. Child found experience underwhelming. No feedback after first lesson on assessment of needs or abilities. Didn't set any work for following lesson to assess. Cancelled after one lesson as it wasnt right for us.
Reply from: Lucy: Thankyou for your feedback, I am sorry that your daughter didn’t find the lesson fulfilling.
I was surprised when you messaged me after the session to ask if it was free and whether or not you should pay me. A free hour long lesson was not discussed before the session.
Regarding the lesson:
- All of my resources and notes are on my laptop because I find having them all printed impractical. I always use dual coding during my teaching as I find that this reinforces key learning points and helps fix misunderstandings. My aim for the lesson was to complement the lessons that your daughter receives at her school and fill in any gaps in her knowledge.
- We agreed after the session to follow your suggestion of assessing your daughter in three to four weeks when she was more familiar with the text, An Inspector Calls, as she had two session studying it at this point.
- There wasn’t a request for any homework after the lesson.
