Adam

Richly experienced tutor and secondary school teacher of twelve years. QTS (Distinction); DBS Enhanced-certified. A kind, creative and energetic tutor and lifelong musician with a strong academic background. I welcome enquiries for in-person and online tutoring in the following areas:
- 11+, 13+ and KS3 Sciences, Maths and English
- GCSEs English, Music, History and RS; and
- A-Level English, Music and Philosophy.

I offer tuition in music theory, GCSE and A Level music, and for those wishing to develop their analytical, historical and practical musical skills. I have taught pupils of all ages and a wide range of abilities individually and in groups for schools, music services, choirs and regional organisations.

A little more about me:
Outside of teaching I love sports and film, and read constantly - novels, history, biographies, plays, and more. I am a professional musician, writer and director, and a confident cook. I enjoy leading musicianship and composition workshops with instrumentalists and singers aged 4 to 40; conducting children and adult choirs and orchestras; and composing for, producing, directing and music directing plays, musicals and operas. Working alongside experienced musicians to inspire and motivate students to excel and enjoy composition, musicianship and performance is a real pleasure and personal highlight of my educational career.

Availability: Flexible. I am available throughout the academic year and for holidays, and would consider travelling for short-term positions.

Willing to travel: 12 miles

Experience: Over the last year, I have spent almost 300 hours tutoring children and young people of a variety of ages both face-to-face and online.

I am an experienced classroom teacher and one-on-one tutor. Extensive experience encompasses the entrance examinations to the UK`s top private institutions; GCSEs in Music, English, History and Religious Studies; and A-Levels in Music, English and Philosophy. I have a rigorous, positive and supportive approach towards my students. I have high standards and have a track record of ensuring students set big goals and meet them. My students feel satisfied with their efforts and motivated to succeed:
