Information about Dave
21/08/23 - I now have 27 "A" level results in. I am delighted for my students and their families, having achieved 1 A*, 7As, 8Bs, 6Cs, 3Ds and 2E, with an average grade improvement (compared to mock exams or Year 12 exams) of 1.5 which is strong. For one of my students on an A who achieves an A there is no grade improvement though a great performance across two year`s work. For another student who was on a U in their mock exam to achieve a C grade that`s a three grade increase. Overall I am delighted! Some of these lower results are with students who were really struggling and on average there is a significant improvement. The more academically gifted students have performed strongly. Interested in a tutor - take a read of my profile.
07/08/2023 - I now have 25 plus students moving into Year 13 and 2 students about to start Year 12. I am available for online home schooling. I have availability during August though am now starting to plan for September term-time tutoring. I need to move my existing students plus new students who are looking for my services into term time slots. I have limited availability for a further ten students. My availability for September slots for new students is typically some weekday afternoons from 2pm to 5pm, sunday afternoons and sunday evenings as well as weekday morning and lunchtime slots (when students have free periods). Last year I tutored around 20 Year 12 over the summer holidays (with breaks) as virtually all schools have some form of September / early October assessments as the last indicator of the UCAS grade prediction.
As an examiner I have recently attended an examiner`s conference as part of my CPD.
20/08/2022 Really pleasing - A level results from my students coming in 2 "A*"s, 4 "A"s, 9 "B"s and 2 "C"s. One "A" star was from a "D" grade and one "C" was from a "U" grade.
12/08/2021 A Level results: 12 "A" grades, 6 "B" grades, 2 "C" and 1"E" grade - and that E grade student and their parents and thrilled as it has secured their place in Milan fashion school university (was on a "U" grade) - all online tutoring.
05/04/21 Last April to October I was taking Year 12 students through preparation for UCAS predicted grades given by teachers in the Autumn of Year 13. This included preparation for both June exams and September/October exams given students had missed a significant amount of face to face schooling. I`ll be doing the same during this period this year. I was tutoring about 15 Year 12 students last year. I am currently tutoring 15 Year 12 students and will have slot availability for a further ten students. Drop me a note if you are interested in exploring a structured proven approach to achieving in a pandemic. Work over the summer is key. Incidentally both my children did this to support successful entry into medical school, of course with some time off.
28/1/21 I am now only leaving my books open to Year 12 students given very limited spare capacity. Please do not raise an enquiry if you are Year 13.
I am passionate about education, learning and development and have expertise in tutoring, coaching and mentoring students. I relate to, and get on with, people. I teach Business Studies and Economics both to UK and international students (see tutoring experience). I am a member of the UK professional tutoring body. As a volunteer, I serve as a Board Director on a National Educational body. As parents we have successfully facilitated both our son and daughter getting into medical school. I add value and provide a whole high quality educational experience.
I provide 1:1 online tutoring in my global online classroom to UK and international students. 100% of my tutoring to "A" level students was online.
I tutor home schooled students and provide online tutoring for A level groups in schools to add value / cover absence.
Individual and group tutoring (subject to demand) are also available during school holidays.
14/8/20 "A" Level results in so far 2 "A*s", 4 "A"s, 6 "B"s, 3 "C"s and 3 "D"s. Really pleased about the top grades though predicted grade standardisation appears to have pulled down grades this year, in particular 2"D"s not expected and 1 "C" not expected and an A* to an A.
23/8/19
My latest innovation for this academic years is to facilitate bringing appropriately matched students (same year, same subject and exam board, similar intellect and personality fit) together online to:
a) share ideas and help each other consider arguments and different perspectives
b) discuss homework set by myself to both students
c) discuss exam paper questions together
d) revise together
I have over 15 years experience in education and training within industry managing, designing and delivering learning solutions, both on a one to one basis, to classrooms of students and to thousands of students. I am a qualified teacher and have 8 year`s teaching, face to face and online tutoring experience with impressive outcomes.
I have deep subject matter knowledge from my roles in industry combined by a real ability to engage with students, bring subjects to life and explain things really simply. I have worked in education at schools, within Businesses, in Banking and in Information Communication Technology and am able to provide tutees with real life practical examples in business and economics which really adds to their learning.
As a volunteer I have been chair of a local sports club junior section managing over 280 juniors, 40 coaches and volunteers. I`m known for a sense of fun and humour, facilitating people`s development bringing the best out of them by bringing subjects to life. I`m a former hockey and tennis coach, am married with a couple of teenagers so I understand the parent`s view.
My first lesson as a planning lesson, which also includes online testing of the online tutoring. Assuming the tutee is happy to continue, which has currently always been the case, there is a contract to sign and a minimum of eight hours tutoring for the tutee to sign up to.
Availability: Mondays, Tuesdays , Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays during the day and evenings, Saturday morning and Sundays.
Willing to travel: Home Only
Experience: A qualified teacher, I have nine years successful teaching and tutoring experience at GCSE and "A" level with excellent feedback from my students and effective outcomes, including high grades at "A" level. My references and feedback scores support this and further provide you with an assurance of professional quality tutoring. I rely on providing an excellent service to develop both my reputation to clients and my business. In addition I am an examiner.
Over the summer 2016 I undertook continuous professional development on the new A Level specifications and attended formal training and have attended further formal training in June 2017.
Note: As well as the common exam boards, for Business Studies I tutor Cambridge International, and am tutoring students from overseas, including students from the UAE, Russia, India, China, Ukraine, Portugal, Austria and Spain. Cambridge Int reference below:
Our daughter decided to study Cambridge International Exam Board As and A2 Business Studies in one year while attending an International School in the Middle East. To support her school lessons, Dave tutored her online throughout the full year. Using his experience in business, he made the subject extremely interesting for her. He gave her confidence in her studies and provided her with excellent exam techniques coupled with invaluable examples. All of which enabled her to achieve her A*. (Note - the student received the highest grade in their subject in their country)
DBS Check: Yes

We have met Dave for one session and he was very engaging and enthusiastic; my son appreciated this as he was not sure about online tutoring. I was impressed how organised Dave is with online learning.
Melissa (Miss)
16/09/2022
My daughter started having lessons with Dave at the start of year 12, and from the very beginning Dave consistently helped her twice a week to improve and deepen her understanding of Business. Dave has a holistic approach to Business where he focuses on the content of the course whilst also using his own experiences to offer insightful knowledge on the world of Business; This together with consistent exam practice resulted in a well rounded understanding of how the exam works. Dave’s consistent support and patient style of teaching really helped my daughter gain confidence in Business and ultimately helped her get an A* this summer. We are very grateful for the guidance Dave has given us over the past 2 years and I would certainly recommend him as he is truly an excellent tutor.

Dave tutored our son in both A-level Business and Economics and his support helped to achieve a 2-grade improvement in one academic year - from a D grade in AS-level to a B in A-level.
His professional approach and friendly manner helped to get the most out of our son whilst providing us as parents with the reassurance he was in good hands. I particularly liked the structured approach around study plans, review sessions and invoicing.
I would recommend Dave to anyone considering a tutor for Economics or Business.
Tutors Response :
Thanks Angela,
Your son was very focused and deserved his success.
Cheers,
Dave

I first contacted Dave in Oct `14 as I was looking for an `A Level` Business Studies teacher for my son. My son was entering his second year of studies at his local college and after a disappointing first year I felt I had to take matters into my own hand. The college my son was studying at was failing him on many levels. My son only achieved a Grade E after his first year of studies yet we both knew he was capable of much more.
I contacted Dave because after reading many disappointing profiles I felt Dave`s profile was professional, honest, personal and likeable plus he was local, even though I was prepared to travel for the right tutor.
I took my son along for our first meeting with Dave and instantly realised that we had both chosen well.
He was friendly, open, honest, relaxed and had a good sense of humour. His educational qualifications were second to none. I was under no pressure from Dave to use his services but deep down within minutes of meeting him I knew and more importantly my son knew Dave was the best person to bring out the best in my son.
I wasn`t to be disappointed because 10 months later my son achieved a Grade B. He was 2 marks from a Grade A and has re-submittted his papers for re-marking.
Both my son and Dave have worked extremely well during their time together. Dave has kept me updated re my son`s progress every step of the way and I am more than grateful for all the time and effort he has put in to bring out the best in my son re his studies.
I have no hesitation in recommending Dave to anybody looking for a Business Studies tutor.
However I do have one regret and that is that I wish I had found Dave 12 months earlier. Excellent tutor and highly recommended.

I would highly recommend dave as a tutor. Dave has tutored me for both business studies and economics A level.
My tutoring has all been online and takes place in an online classroom which uses a web chat feature along with an interactive whiteboard facility which includes a document sharing element for discussion of work and past papers/mark schemes.
Dave has really been able to bring my subjects to life. With online tutoring it is sometimes difficult to engage with the tutor (i have found this with online tutors for other subjects) however with dave this has not been the case and in fact, i looked forward to my lessons with him. He makes lessons fun, he is enthusiastic and has a fantastic sense of humour.
He has been able to explain the easier areas of my courses in ways which have kept me focused and has also successfully managed to break down the more complicated elements of my subjects with real-life examples which helped me to understand the logic. His experience both in industry and as a tutor complimented his ability to do this.
Dave is a genuinely nice guy and an excellent tutor!
Paul (Mr)

We have used Dave for the last 6 months and have been able to see my son progress from grade E`s to now regularly B/A.We see Dave for 1.5 hours per week. He is a friendly and patient guy who has a passion for helping students achieve their goals. During our time working together Dave`s commitment has been outstanding. On occasions when we haven`t been able to make the appointment due to work commitments, Dave has travelled to our house to ensure we can stick to his program. I would say if you are lucky enough to be tutored by Dave you stand every chance of achieving your goals.

Dave has tutored me for my final year "A"Level Business Studies and I highly recommend him. I have an "A" grade in my Business Unit 3 and David has been helping me to build up my knowledge, confidence and exam technique for Business Unit 4. He listens and adapts the sessions to meet my requirements and adds extra value through his deep academic knowledge, teaching skills and practical experience of business. And David has an engaging manner, thanks very much Dave.
