About Me
Highly motivated and professional
My name is Yvonne Bissett, and I am a mum of three grown up kids who went though the entrance exam process themselves. So, I fully understand everything you are going through! I have been tutoring in entrance exams for 16 years and lectured at university in English language for 8 years. And, in summer, I mark GCSE papers in English literature. I hold a degree in English with creative writing (first class honours) and a masters degree in scriptwriting.
I hold an enhanced DBS certificate which is renewed yearly.
My Mission and
Your Commitment
Here in Trafford, selective education is free for everyone. But, not everyone will pass the entrance exam to get a place. My mission is to allow each child that comes to me the chance to improve and develop the skills they need to give them the best chance of one of those places.
Preparing for the exams is a joint project between me, your child, and you. We all have an input into the time spent learning and practising. Your child will not only have the hour here with me but also approximately 1 to 2 hours of homework as well. Your commitment is to make sure they stay focussed and don't burn themselves out by doing too much at once. And, you could also improve your own knowledge of vocabulary or maths...score!
