Matt

My name is Matt and I live on the East side of Warrington. I take a personable approach to tutoring, meaning that I am able to build positive professional relationships with my students and create an environment, in my sessions, where they can thrive. Through regular tutoring sessions I have been able to push students towards higher grades and achieve their potential - a recent example of this was one of my students obtaining GCSE results 2 grades higher than in their mocks, in just 6 months of tutoring.

When meeting a new tutee, I spend time getting to know what they want out of our sessions - informing me on the areas which they may struggle in and providing an initial focus to the lessons. In my sessions, I work with the tutee to produce notes which they can understand and support them in developing the skills they need to structure responses to exam-style questions. Each lesson will also feature an opportunity to test their recall of knowledge from previous lessons. I will provide additional questions/worksheets at the end of the lesson, which they can then use to consolidate their knowledge in their spare time.

Availability: I am available to tutor on weekdays and weekends, with the exception of Thursdays, both during term times and over half-term breaks.

I am happy to travel to locations in and around Warrington and, on most days, I can tutor straight after school hours. I can also facilitate remote online tuition, as well as in-person.

I understand that many families have busy lives and, with extra-curricular activities frequently taking up time after school, it can be hard to fit everything in. Due to this, I aim to be as flexible as possible if sessions need to be re-arranged.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: Prior to obtaining my teaching qualifications through the University of Manchester (PGCE in Secondary Science with QTS), I completed a Master of Chemistry degree (Hons) at the University of Liverpool. I also spent a year working in an industrial laboratory, giving me real life context I can provide in lessons.

Currently, I work as a full time teacher, delivering KS3 and GCSE (AQA Specification) science at a school in Warrington. My extensive subject knowledge, combined with my familiarity of the GCSE Science/A-Level Chemistry curriculum means that I am well equipped to tutor at all levels. My current role means I am also fully DBS checked.

DBS Check: Yes
