George William

I am an experienced and driven teacher with more than 3 years of teaching KS3, KS4 and KS5 in the UK. I have more than 2 years of lecturing at University and my approach to teaching is largely student driven with a mixture short direct instruction followed by practice. This allows the learner to reenforce and check their learning through the application of basic concepts and theories that moves them from just novice to mastery level knowledge and understanding.
