All learning should be fun and engaging, structured, personalised with challenge and support. That is what every student is guaranteed from me.

I have been a private tutor for 7 years and currently deliver GCSE English and Maths to year 10 and 11 students, GCSE/A level Business Studies and SATs booster lessons to year 5 and 6 students. In the past I have also taught numeracy and literacy to adults wishing to gain qualified teacher status with a 100% pass rate.

However, I am a qualified teacher with over 35 years teaching experience at both secondary and tertiary age ranges within Dudley and Sandwell schools and colleges. Although Business Studies and ICT was my main subject I have delivered KS3 English and Maths, KS4 English, often to challenging students or students of low ability. I am committed and hardworking and have enjoyed a successful career in education improving the life chances of young people in my care.

My hobbies include walking, especially with my dog and music. I sing in a choir, play the guitar and ukulele as well as learning how to play the banjo. Other interests include being Secretary of the local Yacht Club and a member of the local gym and spa.

I am willing to work during breaks and summer holidays.

I have successfully delivered a range and breadth of subjects to a wide range of levels.

I have 7 years experience of private tutoring in English, Mathematics and Businesses Studies, at present I am delivering GCSE English and GCSE Mathematics to a year 10 and a year 11 student as well as QTS skills to a young adult who wishes to become a teacher.
