Information about Graham

I am a fully qualified Primary School teacher with over 20 year’s experience. I have a Ph.D in Psychology where I specialised in mental abilities in children. I can offer tuition in all primary subjects and prepare children for 11+ examinations.

I am also a music teacher and can offer tuition in several instruments. I teach piano to Grade 8, but can also offer flute, recorder, trumpet - together with elementary clarinet and violin. Although I mainly teach children, I have a keen interest in helping adults who always wanted to learn but for whatever reason, did not have the opportunity. I learned how to play several instruments myself as an adult and have developed a few techniques to help make up for lost time. It is never too late to start and for those who are dedicated, there is no reason why adult learners cannot become accomplished musicians!

I am also trained in typewriting and shorthand. I strongly believe that everyone should be able to type properly in this computer age as it literally saves hours per week. I have devised a quick method to show the children which fingers to use and have had pupils typing comfortably at 60 words per minute. Once learned, this skill is never forgotten. I have had loads of feedback from ex pupils who contacted me to let me know how useful it was. Several secured jobs because of their typing speed and one girl actually was able to skip a whole year of her business course – just because I taught her to type when she was 11! I often incorporate keyboard skills into English lessons the children learn to spell and type at the same time.

As you can see, I am quite versatile. I do strongly believe that children should learn as many skills as possible. At the end of the day, the more they LEARN, the more they will EARN.

Availability: At the moment, available mainly evenings/weekends. Should be able to fit is some day time work also.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: Taught in primary school for over 20 years.
I have taught music privately for a long number of years and taught up to Grade 8.
