About Nargis
Nargis is an English teacher with a first class degree in English studies. She is based in Newcastle and teaches online, so families anywhere in the UK can work with her.
In school, Nargis has led groups for pupils resitting exams, pupils at risk of failing and high achievers aiming for the top grades. That experience helps her work with children who are frightened of English and children who are doing well but have stopped improving.
Nargis attends exam board conferences each year. Examiners explain what questions are asking pupils to do and which mistakes cost the most marks nationally. She uses what she learns in her sessions.
Nargis asks questions that help pupils find answers for themselves, then takes the work a step further. After each session, she gives written feedback and sets a specific target for next time.
What to expect
Sessions are one to one and online. The first session is an assessment. Nargis checks what your child understands and where they need help, then plans lessons around the gaps she finds. The topic they mention first may not be the main thing holding them back.
One-to-one sessions with Nargis cost £50 for 60 minutes or £40 for 45 minutes.
Each session has a clear focus. Nargis gives your child feedback on their written work and sends parents an update on what was taught, what improved and what the next few sessions will cover.
What changes for families
- Pupils learn what the question is really asking, which is where most English marks are lost.
- Feedback is specific and written down, so your child knows exactly what to fix next time.
- Able pupils get stretched rather than coasting, because Nargis has run top grade intervention groups in school.
- Pupils who have fallen behind get a way back in, taught calmly and without being made to feel behind.
