About Lorna
- What kind of experience do you have?
I have taught for over 38 years in a variety of schools including state comprehensive and grammar schools. I also taught for 5 years in a private exam cramming college and on Easter revision courses. I enjoy private tuition and getting to know students and their families and have had excellent feedback and success. I taught part time for Wey Education between 2016 and 2020. This involved teaching double award science and a level Chemistry to classes of up to 20 students from all over the world. I also run intensive revision courses in A level chemistry for individual or groups of students.
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
he summer holidays I also taught a girl living in Moscow who wanted to ensure that she raised her achievement to get a high predicted grade for university applications.
I have a current DBS certificate and have completed child protection training. I am willing to show my certificate.
- Where and with whom did you train?
I trained at a comprehensive school in Hounslow and completed my PGCE at Sussex University.
- Tell me about some of your current students.
I have delightful GCSE and A level students from local high schools, English and Welsh speaking! I also support Chinese and Russian students who board in UK schools and those who wish to pass entrance exams to these schools. Many of my students have been having lessons for over a year.
