Francesca Grimshaw, BA (hons) QTS in Education.
I specialise in preparation for 11+ style school entrance exams (such as Bacup and Rawtenstall Grammar School and Clitheroe Royal Grammar School.) My eldest son was educated at BRGS, I've a daughter in year 10 at BRGS and another son in year 8 at BRGS.
I also provide one-to-one tuition in Primary Maths and English (reading, writing, grammar, vocabulary, spelling, handwriting, etc.) and SATs/Year 6 booster sessions.
Before training as a teacher I worked in retail and later in banking.
I achieved a 2:1 BA Honours degree in Education with Qualified Teacher Status from Lancaster University in 1995. As part of my degree I taught in many primary schools across Lancashire and I went straight from university to a job as a Year 5 class-teacher, although I've taught the entire primary age range during my career.
I love my work. I enjoy motivating children to learn, and aim to make learning fun and memorable. It is so rewarding to see children grow in confidence and make progress in areas they'd previously been worried about or were struggling to understand. I love seeing a child's face as they realise they can do something they thought they couldn't.
Tutoring takes place at my home address in Haslingden. Sessions are structured to build on experience and prior knowledge, and to address the child's individual needs.
I have a full and current DBS (formerly CRB) certificate (issued 2014).
