Tony

I am a trained secondary science teacher, with experience teaching overseas (2002-2006) and in this country (2006 onwards) from Year 7, through GCSE Science, up to final year A-level Biology. I enjoy personalising my lessons and adapting them to individual student`s needs, as everyone is different, has different strengths and weaknesses and preferred ways of learning. My experience includes the breadth of mainstream classrooms, alternative provisions outside of mainstream schools, home tutoring and PRUs mainly with secondary school age students. I am patient, genuine, kind, care about teaching and learning, and commit myself to helping students understand the subjects they want to learn more about.

Availability: Mainly available weekdays, during the daytime hours between school runs (two school age daughters and a full time wife!). From September I only currently have term-time daytime availability, as evenings and weekends are fully booked during the rest of the week. During school holidays I may have more negotiable availability.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: MA Natural Science (Cantab, 2001) PGCE 2007 (Secondary Science) teaching 2007- present in various forms, including secondary school teaching (Science including Biology A-level) and I am also experienced in teaching Key Stage 3 and 4 (GCSE) Maths, and A-level Maths. I currently teach Further Maths to several students, a qualification bridging the gap between GCSE and A-level Maths for more able students in Year 11. From September 2021-22 I am tutoring several former GCSE student A-level Chemistry, and am helping a couple of Year 12 students going into Year 13 with their Chemistry understanding and exam technique. More than half of my students are now solely online.
