Hello and welcome to my profile,

What is my philosophy of teaching?
I use a variety of teaching styles with students but the basis of all these styles comes down to three things: Knowledge of the subject, Knowledge of the resources, and most importantly knowledge of the student.

Feedback For Damien (7)

My daughter had a lesson GCSE history lesson with him. The whole lesson was a waste time, my daughter could not wait to leave, he could not answer any questions and doesn`t know the subject and content, he even admitted on the lesson " you know more than I do on the lesson to my daughter" it is utterly unacceptable.
Tutors Response :
This is spiteful feedback. I have plenty of evidence of what the student learnt in the lesson along with assessment.This was shared with the student and parent. Sometimes it`s good to share honestly. Sometimes if you have little nice things to say it reflects more on you than the person you are judging.
