Information about David
I am a very professional, reliable and hardworking teacher. I pride myself on being able to form excellent working relationships with all students, particularly those with low self confidence in their ability and those that are demotivated. I have an excellent track record of success in every area that I teach at all levels.
Availability: I am available on Mondays from 4 to 9
On Wednesday I am available between 7:30 p.m. and 9 p.m.
Willing to travel: 5 miles
Experience: I have over 20 years continuous experience in teaching at secondary school and post 16. Most recently, I led a successful department in a sixth form college where I have taught English Language, English Language and Literature, Media Studies and Film Studies at A level. I have also taught English Language and English Literature at G.C.S.E. as well as running a successful Journalism course and vocational qualifications.

Dave worked with my (then) newly home-ed 13 year old son both in person and online. He was so creative with ways to engage my son, finding out what his interests were and angling the learning from a starting point that could be related to. The student feedback from the first lesson was that he had learnt more in one lesson than in the whole term and more recently great fun, good guy. I was always impressed with Daves enthusiasm, energy and adaptability. Would highly recommend, particularly for those who have found it difficult to engage in the subject.

David helped my daughter through her GCSE English from February to June 2018. He was reliable, friendly, and had an enthusiastic and encouraging manner with my daughter in order to help her achieve her full potential. She was achieving around a grade 4 in her English and English literature prior to the tuition, but managed to achieve a 6 in her final GCSE exams which we are thrilled with! I would highly recommend David to anyone who needs help through their GCSE English, it really has made a difference.
