Gerard (Tutor)

Hi. I am 34 years old from Ireland and have been teaching in a high achieving school in Cardiff now for the past 9 Years. In the past 6 years my classes have achieved the highest grades in the department. Something which I am very proud of.

I always strive to do the best for pupils I teach. I have taught the three sciences (Bio, Chem and Phy) to GCSE level and taught Biology to A-level.

I am really passionate about getting my pupils excited about science. I can provide many supporting statements from my past pupils if need be. I can travel anywhere in the Cardiff area.

As mentioned I have been teaching in a high achieving school in Cardiff for the past 9 years. many people think they can tutor but you really need to have taught in a class to understand what exam boards demand and what is expected of students.

I can safely say that every pupil have taught has risen by at least one grade (some by 2 or more) after having moved into my lessons. I have been given low attaining pupils in the past because the school knows that I make them work to the best of their abilities.

I have also marked for AQA, WJEC, EdExcel and OCR for the past 5 years. This has helped me vastly improve the way I teach in lessons and the way I tutor my pupils outside school. It has given me a much better idea of what is required of pupils to do well in exams.

I have also tutored for many families in Cardiff for the last 4 years. Each family has asked me to continue with their kids that are moving through school. This shows that my approach works and parents feel that I am a good consistant worker. I can also provide references here if needed.

I like to make pupils feel at ease during out time together. One of the biggest obstacles to pupil progression and improvement is the relationship formed with the tutor. I believe I have formed very good relations with the pupils in my care over the years. My initial meeting with the pupil is free of charge. Here we will sit down for a while to identify the areas that are causing the most concern.
I will supply worksheets, revision notes and past papers where possible.
