Please note:- teaching organisations recommend tutors charge 2.5 x the basic teaching salary converted to hours this equals £42.50 per hour, so the rate charged (including an hours work before the lesson time, & travel time), represents excellent value and is competitive. Especially with discounts

I write resources & make web-blog subject `intranets` for tutees. These resources are provided for the students reference and study help for their subject and are free to use.

I check all subject specifications & find suitable textbook & online resources. I prepare individualised lesson plans and resources tailored to Students.

I make subject `intranets` too.
