At Books Inside My Head, I believe in creating enjoyable and engaging English lessons for all of my students. I am deeply passionate about helping students to become accomplished readers and writers - skills which will serve them for the rest of their lives.
As a qualified English teacher and tutor with nearly 20 years of leading examination success in secondary schools across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire and London, I aim to develop students' competence in this challenging yet rewarding subject.
Students from Year 7 to Year 13 will benefit from a personalised learning journey targeting their individual academic needs.
Students will be challenged and motivated to achieve their very best at whatever stage they are at in their school journey.
Students will have access to high quality learning resources that have been carefully designed to develop a sophisticated understanding of literary texts.
Students' ability to think critically, be perceptive and master their academic writing is central to the work done at Books Inside My Head.
Whether it be the flexibility and convenience of online learning or the energy of face-to-face English lessons, there is an approach to suit all types of learners.
Amazing woman, amazing teacher! I cannot thank Selena enough for her dedication and hard-work teaching my daughter A-Level English. The depth of knowledge she passed on during the limited time they had in their English lessons was extraordinary. My daughter was able to reach her full potential with Selena's help!
Selena was an amazing English tutor who helped me immensely with my GCSEs when it seemed like I wasn't going to pass English. Just after a few months with her I was confident that I would excel. Selena was an absolute lifesaver who pushed me in the right direction and kept me motivated for success while explaining everything really well. I am truly thankful I had her as my tutor as without her I doubt I would be this confident about my grades and ability.
Selena is a wonderful teacher who really helped me to excel in my English GCSE. Thanks to her I am now pursuing English at A-Level. Selena's motivation ignited my passion for English and truly helped me to excel compared to the rest of my class.
I cannot recommend Selena highly enough as an outstanding English tutor. She worked with my son in preparation for his GCSE exams over the course of just a few months and the transformation was remarkable.
From the very first lesson, Selena carefully assessed my son's level and quickly identified the gaps in his knowledge. She then created a clear and structured plan, focusing on what and how he needed to study in order to significantly improve his performance. Selena's teaching style is exceptional. Her lessons were not only engaging and effective but instilled discipline and inspired a genuine appreciation for the subject.
Beyond being an excellent tutor, Selena is a wonderful person who truly cares about her students and their success. My only regret is that we did not find her sooner.
