About me:

I have worked in Primary Education for 23 years, and also home-tutored my own children, both of whom went on to attain university scholarships. My eldest son graduated top of his class at Leeds University in Physics and Astrophysics, and then won a scholarship to study for a PhD in Astrophysics at Oxford University. My younger son received a scholarship to study Sports Science at UCLAN.

Availability: I am available most evenings on weeknights and also weekends if required.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have over 30 years experience of helping young children with the fundamentals of English and Maths. My students tell me they look forward to our lessons, which is the way lessons should be, particularly with young children.

I`m 60 years old, and a patient and friendly tutor. I have a flare for spotting the problems that people face when learning new topics, and a knack for breaking material down into manageable pieces to accelerate learning. The key to successful tutoring is to identify the student`s strengths and weaknesses and style of learning. This allows us to put a plan together for the most productive learning, and most effective use of time.

Independent learning (self-teaching) is something that I became very good at from an early age, and I`d like to pass on some of the techniques I`ve gained through many years of hard work and understanding.
