I believe it is important to help students learn how to take responsibility for their learning. I frequently find that once they understand the importance of taking ownership for their progress, interest in the subject increases, they begin to interact, and they understand and become more engaged in the subject matter.

My tutees` success is a result of several key elements. With a personable, calm and student-centered approach, I focus on building trust and rapport with each tutee. This forms the foundation for the learning relationship. Listening intently and taking the time to understand each student and their specific learning needs, I provide clear and concise explanations that are delivered with equal measures of patience and understanding.

Availability: I am available for tuition from 6pm to 8pm Monday and Friday, and 4pm to 6pm on Sunday afternoons.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have a background in engineering and science and have taught at a number of educational establishments both at home and abroad, ranging from Therapeutic Communities to Pupil Referral Units.
I presently work as the lead maths teacher at On Track Education in Totnes.
