BIO
I believe myself to be a bright, engaging and enthusiastic tutor, who has always been fortunate to receive excellent feedback from clients. I gained a BA Hons in Economics and Computing, before gaining a distinction on my Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), specialising in Maths and SEN. I have been teaching for 20 years and tutoring for 12 years, both 1 to 1 and online. I tutor in English and Maths within Key Stage 2. My experience also extends to full home schooling. I been an SEN teacher and SENDCO at previous schools, I also have extensive experience in the field of Tutoring children with Special Educational Needs. I also tutor 11+, 13+ Pre-test and 13+. I have always believed in talking to both parents and student to identify what the specific needs of the student are, as well as providing students with weekly progress notes and follow up work based on learning objectives.

I believe myself to be a bright, engaging and enthusiastic tutor, who has always been fortunate to receive excellent feedback from his clients.
I gained a BA Hons in Economics and Computing, before gaining a distinction on his Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE), specialising in Maths and SEN. I have extensive experience in both Tutoring and in the Primary Education field, having been teaching for 20 years and tutoring for 12 years, both 1 to 1 and online.
I tutor in English, Maths, study skills and SEN,within Key Stage 2 to Key Stage 3. I also tutors 11+, 13+ Pre-test and 13+, including all aspects of Maths, English and Verbal/Non-verbal Reasoning. I tutor 1 to 1 one off sessions to complete units of work. My experience also includes full home schooling. Having been an SEN teacher and SENDCO at previous schools, I also has extensive experience in tutoring children with Special Education Needs.

Tutoring and Teaching Experience
I have tutored 1 to 1 and in group situations. Over the last 6 years, I have offered tuition online using Skype, Zoom and MS Team.
I have always believed in talking to both parents and student, to identify what the specific needs of the student are before tailoring a specific program to their needs
I also always provide students with weekly progress notes and follow up work based on learning objectives.
Being in full time teaching has meant that I have kept up with the latest developments in education.
I have always been responsible for developing my own lessons and schemes of work, and have spent time in a previous position supporting less in experienced teachers develop their experience in both this field
An area I have specialised in during my time teaching in the primary sector has been working with children who have Special Educational Needs. Children who have both behavioural issues and purely Educational needs. I was Sendco at a previous school, which involved setting up and monitoring literacy programs for children with reading difficulties and phonic recovery groups. I worked with the class teacher to identify children who would benefit from these extra sessions. I liaised with outside specialist teachers and was responsible for writing and following through EHCP’s through the school.

I don`t feel comfortable leaving negative feedback but as its tutors I feel I should. Things started well but unfortunately after Summer hols despite arrangements being agreed I experienced 2 no shows. The first no show I thought perhaps I had got wrong date, I sent text, no response. I called, apologies were given along with reassurance and date rescheduled. Day arrived, no tutor turned up! No apology, no contact, nothing. Very disappointing experience particularly as tutor originally contacted me!

Tutors Response :

Sorry, but I received no texts, and sent a text and tried to call explaining that I had to attend a meeting with a parent at my school, arranged at short notice, a student in my class. I would have explained if given a chance. I have been teaching for over 20 years and tutoring for 15 years, withonly positive feedback. Your initial feedback, saying you were really happy with my initial visits, but awarding only 3 stars I believe speaks volumes.

My son has had two tutorials with Paul and so far the feedback from him is positive and most importantly, at this early stage, he is enjoying them and finding it helpful.

Tutors Response :

Thank you for the complimentary feedback.
