Information about Hamish
Hello! I am here to help. I am an experienced tutor, and what I have learned from my students is there is a way for each and every student to get more out of their learning. School and university work often feels rushed, but with me, you will have all the time you need to get to grips with your subject. Together, we will talk through and break down each aspect of your subject you are having difficulty with.
I am an experienced tutor of English Literature, which I teach up to degree level. I have given lots of help students taking their A levels in History, English Language or Philosophy, and I can give you really solid techniques to help you approach essay questions, substantiate your own ideas and convey them in the kind of well expressed written work that exam boards award high marks to.
I can also help your child improve their scores in maths, science, and verbal/non verbal reasoning in their Eleven-plus, Key Stage 3 and GCSE exams.
I am also a trained TESOL teacher with a CELTA qualification (the best initial TESOL qualification).
I understand what it is like to fail to get the best out of yourself. I also know how to respond. An unfocussed second year of my degree threatened my overall mark. I then made specific changes to my essay writing technique and my time usage. These raised my marks to a 1st degree average for my third year, balancing my overall mark back up to a high 2:1. I think this experience of significant improvement equips me to help you do the same, certainly more than someone who sailed through academia from the very start. Crucially, however, having worked with students with a range of learning disabilities, I know how to listen to you and engage with your train of thought surrounding a subject, rather than simply expect you to follow mine.
Availability: My availability is variable- please enquire!
Willing to travel: 20 miles
Experience: I have a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing, and over two hundred hours experience tutoring across a diverse range of subjects, from primary school up to A level.

Thank you for working with our son.

Hamish was worth his weight in gold when he took the initiative to understand exactly what exams my son was taking. He discovered there was no non verbal reasoning exam which we had been very nervous about. Hamish is methodical and was well prepared for the lessons. He worked flexibly with us, taking on board our areas for attention. He got to know my son quickly and engaged well with him. In his time with us, Hamish was hampered by covid and the occasional missed bus. So sadly we could not use him as much as we would have liked.

We are have been really pleased with the sessions provided for my son by Hamish. The change in my sons confidence in essay writing has been incredible, and based on his latest report this has been reflected in his predicted A level grades which have now moved up a grade. During a recent parents evening, all of his school teachers remarked on the difference too. Hamish has been able to get to the crux of my sons issues and help to focus his attention in the right areas. The added bonus of this is my son now wishes to continue to study the subject in University.
