Information about Derek
The most important factor in choosing a tutor is whether the tutor can develop a rapport with your child. Just because a tutor has worked wonders with a friend’s offspring doesn’t mean they will be able to do the same for yours.
After a life time in teaching I believe that I have the ability to quickly develop a rapport with any pupil that requires that extra support. I am able to plan individual pathways to achieve agreed goals - whether it is over a period of years, months or even weeks.
My experience has covered:
- support for underachieving pupils from the age of 6
- long term and short term tuition in preparation for both 11+ state grammar school exams and independent school entrance exams
- modelling of interviews that may follow entrance exams
- continued support after the 11+ and entrance exams in preparation for life at the new school
- support for children with specific learning needs including dyslexia, dyscalculia, ADHD and autism
- maths tuition up to GCSE Foundation Level
Availability: From October 2023 I will only be tutoring online.
At the moment (July 2023) I have some availability for October 2023 onwards.
Willing to travel: Home Only
Experience: 35 years teaching.

Derek is an excellent tutor, very knowledgeable, patient, and understanding. His classes are very well organized and he tailors his material to the student`s needs. My daughter has improved her maths and English comprehension skills massively. Many thanks!

Derek took our son under his wing when our son was preparing to sit his 11+. My son can not sing Derek`s praises enough. As parents, we very quickly noticed positive improvements on our son`s academic progress. Derick was forever patient with our son which allowed our son to grow in confidence and work harder to improve his marks. Derek`s effective communication also ensured that our son grasped all learning outcomes with ease. We highly recommend Derek to any parent that may be looking for assistance with their children especially with regards to the 11+ as this is what Derek helped us with. Thank you Derek.
