Hello,

Finding a tutor for yourself or your children can be a daunting task, I offer a friendly, open approach which gets results. I have coached adults and children through many different subjects and topics. I pride myself on knowing my limits, and as such will never take on a job where I think my knowledge will not get the student a good grade. At the end of the day, it`s not my exam, it`s theirs.

I have two children of my own, and a step daughter. They range from 6 years old to 14 years old. I enjoy family time, and seeing them grow as people.

I currently work as a Guide Leader in Callington. I have 8 years experience of working with children aged 5 to 25. We have a lovely time, and it`s one of my favourite places to be. Part of the program encourages the girls to learn, and I find that the approach of guiding and nudging them in the right direction rather than talking at them works wonders.

I have recently completed two years of Bsc Hons Psychology and have a certificate of Higher Education. I recently finished an FdSc in Equitation Training and Behaviour with distinction. I am about to finish a BSc Hons in Equitation Science.
