I am offering GCSE English tuition. I am enthusiastic about nurturing an understanding of the English language while increasing childrens' confidence and ability to express themselves.

One thing you may want to consider Mary is your email address. As a business that wants to be taken seriously, Hotmail is lacking in gravitas. Good luck with your venture and your studies.
