Pippa

I am a Chartered Accountant and have a BSc in Natural Sciences, a Masters in Land Economy and a PhD in Geography.

I can teach most subjects (except languages and music) at primary and middle school levels. At secondary level I can teach maths to GCSE. I can teach Geography, Business Studies, Economics, Accounting, Politics and Law to A Level.

Although I have high level acadamic qualifications I am also very practical and creative so enjoy planning lessons that are interesting.

I am a keen advocate of both Montessori and Steiner methods of teaching for lower age groups and those struggling to grasp basic mathematical concepts. The emphasis during my lessons is on developing understanding rather than merely chasing exam results.

Please note that my rates are minimum charges; the rate per hour reduces after the first hour and all rates include travel, detailed personal lesson preparation and marking if required.

Availability: Please contact me for availability. I am currently not taking any bookings for after-school hours or evenings. I prefer to teach sessions of at least 90 minutes, preferably two hours.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have home schooled two children and have work experience in a secondary school and post 16 further education. I am a keen advocate of both Montessori and Steiner methods of teaching for lower age groups and those struggling to grasp basic mathematical concepts.

I have experience in working with children with mild learning difficulties but not in dealing with complex behavioral issues and therefore I prefer not to teach to children who are not engaged in the learning process.
