I have worked full time as a tutor for many years and have a huge wealth of experience. I draw on my knowledge and experience to help my students fulfil their potentials. I offer a very positive approach that helps builds up my students confidence and their enthusiasm for the subject. I have helped students with a wide range of ability. I help build back up the confidence of those who lack self belief and showing them they are able to tackle the subject. I also have the knowledge and enthusiasm that will help push those students who are very able and are aiming at getting those top grades.
I believe I have a logical mind that helps me explains things in a clear, logical and structured manner. I enjoy helping people understand things and finding ways to explain things. I am very personable and I think children of all ages find me approachable. I find tutoring very rewarding and love watching pupils grow in confidence and ability.

Availability: I have excellent availability for sixth form students during the day time which may be suitable if there are days where they go into college late / finish early. I have weekends and some weekday evening slots. More slots available over the holiday periods.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I feel privileged to have had the pleasure of working with over 150 pupils and now have over 3500 hours of tutoring experience. I have tutored AQA A level Biology and Edexcel A Level Maths. With maths this includes core maths, mechanics and statistics within the maths A level course.

I have also done a large amount of tutoring working with students preparing for GCSE and iGCSE examinations in maths and all three sciences. I know the syllabuses thoroughly. I use this and my knowledge and understanding of what is expected, to support my students with their studies. In particular I have had a very large number of students studying for the AQA GCSEexams and Edexcel iGCSE exams, but I am of course also very familiar in the OCR board and Edexcel GCSE exams.

My 13+ common entrance pupils have all got their required grades for their choice of school. Often I have not only boosted their understanding and confidence, but also helped them develop a greater love of the subjects which I hope encourages them to study these further.

I am very familiar with the requirements for 11+ for various schools and some of my students have won scholarships / awards.

I have undergone specialist training in Dyscalculia and am able to use the British Dyslexia Society’s advanced, multi-sensory maths development programme for the remediation of dyscalculia to offer extra support to Dyscalculic approach. I am accredited to Level 2 by the British Dyslexic Society and have undergone their Practical Solutions for Dyslexia, Dealing with Dyscalculia and Dyscalculia Plus Course.
