If you need Science, Maths, History or Politics help I am the tutor for you!

I have over a decade`s worth of experience tutoring students from toddlers to adult learners. I teach Maths, Chemistry, Biology and Physics up to GCSE as well as A-Level History and Politics. I also teach adult learners re-siting exams for professional qualifications including equivalency tests and functional skills.

I am or have tutored students from the following schools allowing me to tailor my sessions to the students more effectively as I have prior knowledge of their curriculums: Harris Academy (Rainham, Ockendon and Chafford), Campion, Coopers, Hall Mead, Brentwood County High, Brentwood Ursuline, William Edwards, Ormiston Academy, Havering College, Drapers, Palmer`s, The Leigh Academy, Westcliff Grammar School, Sacred Heart, Sanders, Dartford Grammar School, Havering Sixth Form, St Thomas More High School and Gaynes. If your school is not on this list do not worry as I cover most exam boards and always looking for a new challenge!

I am often employed to teach students more than one subject which I have found works very well as the student only has to adapt to one tutoring style rather than several and I can pick up on general working habits that are not subject specific. I believe in creating an atmosphere where students are not afraid to be wrong and ask questions. Moreover I personalise each session with revision packs, subject specific worksheets and document each session so you can see what we have covered and when. I make home visits but I also teach small groups in schools if and when required. I am also experienced with students with specific learning difficulties acting as a mentor at university level.

I have 3 degrees in History from the University of London: a first class bachelors degree with honours, a masters (with distinction) in Modern History and a MPhil. Although my degrees are focused on History I have A grade A-levels in Biology, Chemistry and Politics as well as A in As Physics. In addition I am a qualified higher education teacher. I have also taught several modules at both under and postgraduate level at Royal Holloway, University of London and originally began tutoring to supplement my studies but it is now my full time job.

More importantly I am a friendly, warm, approachable person with a love for working with young people. I strongly believe in the benefits of working one-to-one with students to get the best out of them and aim to foster a good working relationship. I love sports and current affairs something I often bring into my sessions to help the students relate to the topics at hand and give them a more rounded education.

I supply all my own worksheets/past papers so all you need is a pen and a willingness to learn. I also give my students free access to all my resources online so they can access work when they need it not just when I am free.

I have the most recent GCSE and A-Level results for my students available on request. I can also provide references if required.

Please do feel free to contact me with any queries or questions.

Availability: My timetable for the 2023/24 academic year is almost full but I always try to accommodate new students so please do get in touch and I will see how I can help you.

Please note I offer both online and face-to-face lessons.
