Siobhan Scannell
English Tutor
I am an English graduate, with over 22 years’ experience of secondary level education. Having worked in both the comprehensive and selective grammar systems, I also have experience of preparing pupils for various selective exams at the 11+ stage. I have undertaken specialist literacy training which has enabled me to provide support for pupils from primary and secondary level, including being able to apply specialist dyslexia strategies.
Having previously worked in a comprehensive school, for the last 20 years I have been employed in a selective grammar school teaching English, English Literature and Religious Studies at GCSE, English Literature at A-Level, and junior History. I also have experience as an English examiner at GCSE and A-Level and can work on exam techniques with students to help increase confidence in the approach to exam seasons.
My teaching style is student centred and tailored to the student’s specific needs.
