DO YOU NEED A TUTOR FOR LINEAR EXAMS/ LOOK NO FURTHER!

GRADE 1 OUTSTANDING - OFSTED.
I have been the Head of Accounting since 2006, at a large Catholic Sixth Form College in Hulme, Manchester. I am 44 years old, married, living in Didsbury, South Manchester with my wife and 2 children. I gained my degree in Economics and Finance in 1998 from Leicester University. I began teaching in 2002 so have over 18 years of experience teaching Accounting.

I offer tutition at my home, either at the weekend, or weekday evenings. However, I am usually able to offer tuition during the school/college holidays.Also online.

Availability: Flexible, please enquire for availablity.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I completed my PGCE at Manchester University in 2002. I only teach Accounting A Level, and this is therefore my main specialism. I can also help students in need of tutoring on Accouning/Finance elements of Business/Accounting/Finance degree courses.

I teach the AQA specification.

Many tutors are not willing to advertise the results they have achieved with students. I recommend you read the section below on the results i have achieved with my A Level Accounting students.

Also, many tutors seem to offer tuition in a wide variety of subjects. Are they really specialists in so many different subjects? I am an Accounting specialist, and only offer tuition in Accounting or the Finance elements of a Business course. If you need a Maths tutor, then hire a Maths specialist. If you need an Accounting tutor, then hire me!

Tutoring Approach:
Many other tutors seem to describe their strategies/relationships etc, without mentioning anything concrete like exam results! Surely the one thing a prospective student wants to know about is exam results!?!? Read on.

I have an incredibly strong track record of results at A Level Accounting. Compare the results of my students against the national benchmarks below. Please compare the difference between my students, and the benchmarks. We are WAY ahead!

My A2 Accounting students in 2020:

Grade A*-B = 61%

Benchmark A2 Accounting 2020:

Grade A*-B = 44%





Each department within the college is graded according to the college`s own internal validation procedure. I have been graded as 1 `OUTSTANDING` for 15 years on the row, since I became head of the department!!!

The Accounting department was also graded as 1 `OUTSTANDING` in the last OFSTED report in Jan 2010. Key Findings from Ofsted:

"A high proportion of students achieve grades A and B. In A-Level Accounting more than two thirds of students gained a high grade (A-B). In AS Accounting, almost four times the national average achieved a high grade (A-B)."


I have been awarded grade 1 on the ALPS measure for value added on 3 seperate occasions in recent years. This means i add more value to my students than any other college in the country. Value added measures the difference between what the Government predicts a student should achieve at A Level based on their GCSE performance and what they actually achieve.


Here are the previous years results, so you can see that the performance is ALWAYS impressive, and WAY ABOVE benchmark.
