My name is Valerie Roberts and I am based in Cheshire,  South Manchester area. I have been an English Teacher for well over 40 years, starting in secondary schools and moving into sixth form and F.E. Colleges. For the last 10 years, I have not only been a Private English Teacher but I have returned to teaching in the secondary sector as a specialist English teacher.

As a private English Teacher in South Manchester’s Altrincham area including, Bowdon, Hale, Hale Barns, Sale, Timperley and even as further afield as Alderley Edge, Didsbury,  Knutsford, Lymm and Wilmslow etc.,  including options for Online Tutoring. I am keen and eager to support and teach students at key stage three and four.  My purpose is not only to improve each student’s reading, writing, speaking and listening skills in readiness for their GCSE English and English Literature examinations but also to instil in each student the confidence and enthusiasm for English in general. Added to this,  a knowledge of English is an important preparation for the world of work and higher education as,  along life’s journey,  students will be faced with writing applications for university or careers as well as undergoing various types of interviews. How each student presents him or herself is crucial for a successful outcome so as a private English teacher, I  see my role as supporting each student in achieving their goal.

Having taught English private lessons at key stage three, GCSE and Advanced level for a number of years, I am more than prepared to tutor pupils in readiness for their external examinations, as well as teach those pupils who are behind in certain areas of English.  I feel that one to one tutelage would enable them to catch up with their peers and extend their knowledge.

After last year’s successful results and as a teacher giving private English tuition I now have places available. I can carry out private English sessions at my premises, in your home or remotely online (please see section on On-line tuition)  .
