Welcome to my website. My name is Ann Rust-D’Eye and I have been a private tutor for over 20 years. I am a qualified Applied Scolastics® tutor and am trained to teach english as a foreign language (Celta). I usually teach one to one but have taught in groups as well i.e. Rockingham Somali communtiy group. I have tutored one to one for a local school; assisting pupils who needed extra help.
I work closely with two colleagues, Luke and Graham and between us we can cover English, Maths, Science and Geography up to GCSE level. I am able to help with 11 plus exams as well as assisting in entrance exams for new schools.
I really enjoy helping pupils gain more certainty and confidence. I can assist them either through online lessons or in person. I follow the curriculum but often find that I have to dig deep to discover and resolve any underlying issues that may prevent learning; the things which it would be difficult, if not impossible, to solve in a classroom situation.
I try to make the lessons as interesting and interactive as possible to engage the pupils, as I have found this to be the most effective way of helping, for example in Maths I use Cuisenaire® rods, fraction games etc. I also think it is really key to see how the pupils can actually use what they have learnt in real life so learning has an actual purpose and connects more to daily life.
If you are interested, please get in touch either by e mail or phone.
I offer a free consultation as the first step to ascertain what help is needed and the best way forward.
