Information about Thom
I am an enthusiastic and able History tutor with proven results. My specialisms are History at GCSE and A Level with AQA/OCR and Edexcel exam boards respectively.
My outlook is simple. I equip students with the exam technique required for success in a way that is only possible in one-to-one tuition. The vast majority of students have the subject knowledge required for success but struggle to apply that knowledge in exams. This is where I come in.
I am not the cheapest History tutor in the area but I believe I represent excellent value for money given the fact that I am a Head of Dept and examiner with a proven track record in tuition.
In the past 5 years my tuition results are as follows:
A-Level: 88% A*-A, 100% A*-C & 100% making above/expected progress.
GCSE: 81% A*-A (9-7), 100% A*-C & 100% making above/expected progress.
11+: all students have got in to their chosen grammar school
Availability: I am available 5 days a week, Monday to Friday, between the hours of 4 and 9pm. I am also willing to work the occasional Saturday.
Willing to travel: 12 miles
Experience: I am a Head of History, examiner and have successfully tutored numerous students with a vast array of needs and abilities.
I have been teaching for 8 years and in addition to my ability to relate to my students I have a proven record of exam success.
In the past 5 years my tuition results are as follows:
A-Level: 88% A*-A, 100% A*-C & 100% making above/expected progress.

Thom is a fabulous tutor. His background as an examiner and teacher is the perfect combination. He has had a great impact on the confidence of our daughter

My daughter has been tutored by Thom since September 2020. When he first started with her she wasnt very confident with her work and felt she was behind. However Thom came in and changed everything for the better. She is lot more happy with the results she is achieving and this is all done to the hard work Thom has put in. He has all the quality that a parent is looking for in a tutor to guide your child in the right direction towards the 11 plus. I love how he helped my daughter to overcome challenges in areas that she found particularly difficult in the beginning. Definitely will get him to tutor my son in the future.
Tutors Response :
Thanks so much for your kind words Mandeep - she is doing fantastically well!

Thom has been extremely professional from the start of our contact and is always punctual. He took the time to discuss my son`s needs before he started tutoring him and has been well prepared from the first session. The sessions are relaxed but well organised and they cover a lot of information. My son has gained confidence in his abilities as well as being helped with his knowledge. I am sure this will be particularly valuable as the final exams get nearer. Help with structuring different types of answers and knowing what the question is asking has been especially valuable.

Thom is an excellent tutor and has really helped my son with his eleven plus tuition. He made the tutor sessions fun for my son when he was a bit tired on a Friday afternoon and was great at explaining maths problems that my son was finding tricky. He helped with exam technique tips straight away too and I feel confident my son has progressed thanks to his teaching.

Thom has been teaching my daughter A Level history for 6 months on a weekly basis. He is always prompt for his sessions, and very flexible with his time and if we have to rearrange. He clearly knows his subject very well, and is able to adopt his teaching to the needs of the pupil. My daughter was initially sceptical about tuition but is enthusiastic about her lessons without complaint! Thom has helped her with her course material together with improving her essay writing skills, and revision technique. I can fully recommend Thom to any future pupils and parents.

So pleased to have found Thom. Professional, engaging and inspires confidence. The key for us being his experience and teaching methods not purely his subject knowledge alone.
