Patricia

I have been teaching for over thirty years and I am based in Brighton. Over the years I have successfully mentored and guided many students. These students have gone on to University, some to Oxbridge.
Some of these students have achieved success under difficult circumstances. I believe that all students have the capabilities to do the best that they can especially with good teaching, guidance and mentoring.

I ensure that students are prepared for examinations or assessments by providing them with good resources and past exam papers. I also access moderators reports and am fully conversant with assessment objectives in order to give them the best possible experience of learning and enjoying their subject.

Availability: I am available most of the week although unavailable on Monday evening.
