Hi,

I`m a super positive and outgoing person. I work in Information and Technology for [contact detail removed]. I love being able to translate and explain complicated concepts to my students. I also love watching my students increase their confidence.

I`m able to adjust my teaching style for different types of learners, i.e. kinetic, visual, etc. and I provide lots of supplementary worksheets where preferred. I put 200% into my student`s personal development.

I have worked with students both on a one to one basis and in groups. This has also included online tuition via Skype alongside more traditional face to face tuition.

I assist many students from ages 7-11 with all elements of the 7 plus, 11 plus and CE Exams

I have worked with University students helping them with essays, dissertations and general polishing up of work. I also assist students of all ages with interview preparation for both schools and universities including Oxbridge.

With Adult learners I am happy to help with anything related to my fields of experience including CVs and job interview preparation.

I believe that my excellent communication skills and solid academic background enable me to be an effective tutor within my subject fields. I work with students at top Independent schools as well as those from Grammar and Non-Selective State schools.

I am often praised for my knowledge beyond the requirements of the various specifications which has helped to give my older students more context than they are able to receive within the classroom.

My hourly fee is based on my experience as a tutor, my formidable success rate with students and what I bring to the equation, that extra factor which can’t always be quantified.

I am very approachable, focused and passionate about my tutoring and my strong rapport with my students is attested to through the feedback viewable on this profile. I am a firm believer in viewing things from the students perspective and so my empathetic approach has led to my students achieving grades higher than they had been predicted in virtually all cases.

At university:

Achieved a distinction in Applied Computing
Achieved 2:1 in BSc Computing and Information Systems (Hons)
Achieved a distinction in HND in Computing and Information Systems

Availability: Availability: Flexible throughout the week - please email for availability.

Willing to travel: 20 miles

Experience: I have been tutoring for 7 years in various subjects.

7 plus, 11 plus and CE Entrance Exams:

I have proof read students dissertations in computing/information technology, helping me to develop my understanding of a range of topics and identifying errors.

1 year spent doing peer assisted learning which involved attending meetings to help students with any queries, work or social related matters and also helped enhance my problem solving skills to assess a situation and provide guidance and a solution.

GCSE and A Level:

I have worked with students from many Independent Schools as well as both Selective and Non Selective State Schools. Each of my students has achieved top grades with none gaining lower than a B at A Level and the vast majority outperforming all predictions. This includes moving students predicted D and E grades to A* and A Grades. My students undertaking coursework have also consistently gained very high marks in this element of the course.

I have tutored my subjects for all main exam boards including WJEC and CIE at GCSE and OCR, AQA and Edexcel at A Level. I also tutored students undertaking the International Baccalaureate.

Tutoring sessions are varied and include learning, note taking, revision, discussion, exam technique and test questions. These are tailored to the individual student.

I often get my older students to write responses and then show them ways in which the question could be answered or interpreted differently. This allows for increased dexterity therefore building confidence both for class work and examinations.

With younger students lots of practice tests and mock questions form the main basis of enhancing their performance.

I always push my students to reach the full height of their potential and it is this continual focus on improving which leads to my students outperforming their expectations and achieving consistently high top results.
