Area Advisor Details Subjects Offered Testimonials Towns Covered

I am delighted to introduce myself as the Home-School Tutoring Area Advisor for the Wakefield and Huddersfield area. I have worked in education for many years – as a teacher, deputy headteacher and as an education officer for a local authority Special Educational Needs Team. I have lived in this region for over 30 years and know the schools well. I tutor most days and find it incredibly rewarding to see the young people make good progress and build their confidence.

As well as the cities of Wakefield and Huddersfield, we work with students in Pontefract, Castleford and all areas of Kirklees. We work with families in private homes, schools, theatres and other organisations, so whatever your tutoring need we work hard to ensure we can meet your requirements. For some, tutoring is for a specific time and purpose, for other it is for a longer period of ongoing support. Whatever your particular circumstances, I am confident that we will be able to meet your needs. Rather than delivering a ‘one size fits all’ approach to tutoring, we pride ourselves on being a personalised service.

I have an excellent team of talented tutors who can support children and young people of all ages who are either attending school or home-educated, as well as adults wishing to continue their learning journey. Safeguarding our students is very important to us and all our Tutors have DBS Enhanced Certificates and excellent references.

Our specialist tutors also help many pupils prepare for entrance examinations for independent schools and the 11 Plus to gain places at the successful and oversubscribed grammar schools in and around our region.

We work extensively with students with special educational needs or learning difficulties and those for whom English is an additional language. An increasing number of pupils are being home educated in this region and we have a range of services available to support you in this decision– home tutors, curriculum planning and provision of resources for home learning.

If you are looking for a tutor, then please get in touch for an initial conversation about how tuition can work for you. I am more than happy to have a friendly and informal chat to discuss your needs. Please give me a ring on 07535594994. If you prefer to email or use the enquiry form, I will get back to you as soon as I can.

You can read more about us, our tutors and what we offer you, in our regional website, www.westyorkshiretutors.co.uk

I look forward to hearing from you and working with you.

Best wishes,

Andrew
