Affordable academic tutoring for young people
Hi everyone,
​
Research shows that targeted, personalised support can significantly and positively affect a young person's academic development - often the earlier the better. My goal is to offer regular and reliable developmental support to families and young students at a price that is really affordable.

Hello everyone!
I am an experienced academic skills tutor, and DBS certified. I have a PhD in academic development and student anxieties. I am available for weekly online support sessions to help better develop your child's academic understanding and capabilities, mainly in reading and writing skills. The sessions are fun, warm, activity-centred, and will develop the young person's understanding of the following:
​
- managing study stress and anxiety
- information management
- writing style development
- reading skills
- sentence forms and functions
- paragraph structures and cohesion
- understanding tasks and instructions
- making learning fun, interesting and manageable
I work regularly with young people with ADHD, learning difficulties and study stress. I am a very warm and supportive tutor. I am always greatly interested in each young person's special interests and abilities, and also in their individual challenges too. I believe that regular, fun and supportive meetings can have a really positive effect over time.

Working with Rob has made writing essays enjoyable! Rob taught me valuable skills in writing, structuring paragraphs, and understanding how to critique, be concise and clear in my work. With Rob's guidance, I received a distinction on my last essay! Most importantly, I now enjoy the writing process, and I feel that, with Rob's help, I have grown in both confidence and ability.
