Hello and welcome to my profile,

I am offering affordable lessons, in over 10 different GCSE Subjects:
Lessons are held online via Skype or Google Classroom.
Please feel free to ask me any further questions: e.g information on humanities or the arts.
I have included an overview of the core subjects, at the bottom of my profile.

What is my philosophy of teaching?

I use a variety of teaching styles with students but the basis of all these styles comes down to three things: Knowledge of the subject, Knowledge of the resources, and most importantly knowledge of the student. By applying these skills lessons become enjoyable and engaging.students.build self-esteem through thoughtful feedback and become autonomous in their learning; seeking out new challenges and critically thinking of the big picture.
