I am graduate in Chemistry and now a stay-at-home dad for my two daughters, tutoring in my spare time. Prior to this I worked for a number of years in Cardiff University as a Research Technician for the Tenovus Centre for Cancer Research. This not only gave me great satisfaction, as I was able to indulge my passion for science, but also gave me a more varied, and practical, background in science, and the application of mathematics, another interest of mine, to these situations. I am currently taking a career break that makes it possible for my wife to continue pursuing her career as a Primary School Teacher, whilst one of us stays at home for our daughters. During this time (being married to a teacher and being a father) I have come to appropriate just how rewarding it is to help children and young people succeed in expanding their knowledge of the world.

Availability: Week day evenings from 6pm and weekends
(During the school summer holidays I`m also available weekdays before 6pm)

Willing to travel: 12 miles

Experience: I have been tutoring for about 6 months and in that short time I have help a number of pupils from preparing for their A-level chemistry exams to providing extra support with Key Stage 3 maths. Each pupil having their own individual needs and abilities.

I have also benefited from my wife’s years of experience as a primary school teacher. It is inevitable that over the years I have indirectly gain a fair bit of knowledge and insight into education. Knowledge and insight that I am able to use in the service I offer to students. It also makes me very appreciative of the different roles played by teacher and tutor.
