Experienced teacher offers tutoring in classical civilisation for students of GCSE and A level.

Fernanda is a gentle, optimistic teacher who taught me for my politics A-level. She is extremely passionate for the subject and always treats her students equally in a personal style. I started Politics in Year 12 quite timid and Fernanda has played a major role in bringing my confidence up massively.

Fernanda has been an excellent tutor for my 17 year old son who is preparing for Alevels. She has really engaged him in the subject, helping him to form arguments and structure essays. He has gone from getting C and D’s in essays to A* . My son has ADHD and Fernanda has been patient and understanding of the affect his condition has on his concentration and focus. I would thoroughly recommend Fernanda to any student.

Fernanda is a great tutor and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for some help with undergraduate politics. She helped me with everything from the initial plans to final edits and was supportive throughout my dissertation process. Thank you again for everything !!

Fernanda is an amazing tutor, and really helped me grasp a level politics, particularly essay writing. There was a focus on exam questions which really helped me prepare for my exams and massively improved my confidence. Would definitely recommend!

Fernanda is the most attentive and interesting tutor I've ever had. She shares her passion with politics so well that its infectious and you can't help but want to learn more! She has been amazing at making sure you understand all the topics and encourages questions and discussions, especially on confusing subject matter. My time doing A Level Politics was positively shaped by Fernandas support and motivation. I truly truly recommend her to anyone wanting politics support :)

One of the best teachers I’ve ever had! Her explanations and methods are worth taking private sessions. It is a pleasure to ‘work’ with her. She is Leonardo da Vinci of history and politics.

A totally dedicated and friendly person, who has helped to improve my knowledge in this subject. I have been truly blessed to have a teacher who adapts to the needs of her student. I can see a great improvement in my written works and understanding of this subject. Thank you very much

Truly blessed to have such a wonderful and dedicated teacher. Ms Fernanda makes sure that the teaching is understood we'll by the student and provides materials and other assistance to help further learning. The teaching environment is friendly and relaxed. I will for sure, recommend her.

Thank you

Fernanda has been helpful and inspiring. Always very reliable and generous with her time, she has been able to adapt to my particular requirements and shown great enthusiasm for the subject. My time with her has been a huge aid to my understanding while at the same time the experience has been rewarding and great fun. Highly recommended.

Fernanda was my tutor for over 2 years. I strongly recommend her due to her unique teaching style, tailored to her students. She is prepared to dedicate time, listen and adapt to the student. Her teaching is of high quality, motivating her students to engage and learn.

I have known my teacher for over 4 years. Fernanda is the most supportive teacher I have come across. She taught me AS and Alevel Psychology. I moved schools so had to relearn AS Psychology from a different exam board. She easily adapted her teaching when I changed exam boards and was equipped for it. She is up to date with the specification and being an examiner, she has full knowledge of what/how to write to gain full marks. She has the ability to work on and guide you into strengthening your (writing) skills. She helps you overcome areas you struggle in, like a particular module. For instance as I did not enjoy Research Methods, she would also provide exercise questions weekly to target that area. She has patience to reteach an aspect you don’t understand in the first go. She has an effective strategy in which you become able to understand and memorise knowledge vital when sitting the main exam. She is well prepared and shapes her lessons in a way that you are well prepared to sit a test. Moreover, even with her planned lessons, and how she always covers all the content (Based on the exam board specification) if one week I came with questions about a school lesson, she is flexible and focuses on what I want to learn or need help in. She gives you the practice you need to perform well in school. Fernanda is able to give constructive feedback after reviewing the work I hand in, and each of her feedback allows me to improve on my academic work boosting my grades. Personally, I started off not confident in this subject and she is one of the main reasons I fell in love with the subject so much I am now doing a degree in Psychology and did well in my Alevels all round. As a teacher she does not just focus on the content, but she supported me in other aspects that helped me gain more knowledge in Psychology; including Conference recommendations, signing up to BPS, work experience at a Psychology department in a Hospital or writing about Psychology in my personal statement. The reason she is a successful Tutor is she makes sure she fully teaches you the subject to the maximum as well as teaching you revision/study skills that you can apply to other subjects. She has structure to her lessons where the objective is met, content is learnt in a interactive way through videos, reading, discussing, illustrating as well as exam questions. She is a very involved teacher and that is why her students do well because more than a tutor she wants us to do well in our studies than for the sake of providing standard knowledge. She provides a positive work space for her students and has built rapport with them early on so they feel confident to express their doubts in a module and enjoy actively learning. At a time where there are teachers who keep an eye on the time, Fernanda has always given up extra time to make sure the students fully understand what has been taught. If I was unable to attend a class, she’s willing to work out another time to cover the content suited to both our timings. These are some of the many qualities Fernanda possesses, she has been an excellent tutor and wonderful role model for me.
