I provide confidence-building support in English and Verbal Reasoning and Non-Verbal Reasoning to prepare students for future work with Artificial Intelligence (AI), Robotics and Computing, National Curriculum Tests (SATS), 11+ assessments, secondary school readiness and GCSE English.

Although, of course, I am unable to offer a guarantee, to date I have had great success with the students I have supported preparing for the 11+ selection tests then being offered a place at their local grammar school – this is a testament, of course, as much to their own application, dedication and achievement as it is to mine.

I am able to draw on extensive experience providing 1:1 tuition to schools and privately to a variety of students in the Bournemouth and Christchurch area, as well as having an Honour’s degree in Physics with Acoustics, a Master’s degree in Computing, a Primary PGCE at Master’s level and experience teaching Functional Skills (Maths, English and ICT) to teenagers and adults.

The kind of professional, personal tuition that I provide means that students get questions that draw out their thinking, and personalised explanations that foster a deeper understanding than is often possible with a reliance on computer-based learning.  In contrast to group sessions, I am able to provide faster interventions and feedback rather than, for example, setting an assessment one week and then going through it the next week when the student may well have forgotten what they did and why they did it.

Safeguarding considerations are paramount and I subscribe to DBS Update, which means my DBS certification is continuously up-to-date. The business is also registered with the Information Commissioner’s Office as a Data Controller.

I offer initial face-to-face consultations with prospective clients and students free-of-charge.

Details of half-term dates, fees and charges, terms and conditions and practical information are contained in the English tuition guide, which is available on request.

“To Brett,
Thank you so much for helping me.”

“My son has grown in confidence with his writing in English. His difficulties at school with thinking creatively have improved dramatically and he now proudly tells me he is one of the top group to finish on time. I have noted over the last six months his growing confidence with ever more complicated comprehension tasks at school.”

“Dear Brett,
Thank you for helping me to write. It has really improved my writing at school and I feel more confident now.”

“This service has helped my daughter build her confidence in English & Maths.  She no longer worries about her lessons and is excited and eager to try and have a go.  I am very impressed by the calm way Mr B. Milner teaches and explains her work to my daughter and would recommend Mr B. Milner’s services to anyone who wants to give their child some extra help with school or exam work.”

“Thank you for your support and kind and caring approach.  Wishing you well for the future.”
