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 on Thursdays, 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: 5 miles
