I am a private tutor from Wirral. I have been teaching since 2002 and tutoring since 2006. I have a fully-enhanced DBS check.
My first degree is in English, which is my main subject, but I have also successfully delivered private tuition in subjects such as Study Skills (up to degree level), History, RE, Army Entrance Exams, and Creative Writing, to learners ranging between primary school age and adult. I also have experience of working with learners with special educational needs (SEN) and behavioural problems.
Availability: Evenings and weekends
Willing to travel: 10 miles
Experience: I began working in colleges in 2002 and I have also worked in secondary schools. My roles have included lecturing in subjects that include GCSE English, Basic Skills, and Creative Writing. I also have experience of learning support.

Gavin is an excellent tutor. Reassuring. Gentle. Kind. Easy to talk to and gave excellent help to my son prior to resit English Language. Would certainly recommend Gavin to any young person for 1-1 tuition. He always arrives on time and is so pleasant.

We are really pleased to have found Gavin. My son, who hates to write, has found Gavin`s approach working for him. Highly recommend.

Gavin has really helped my 15 year old son in the run up to his GCSE English exams. He quickly identified what my son needed help with and tailored the tuition to his needs - in particular, strategies for answering questions on seen and unseen texts. My son`s confidence has really improved and he feels much happier going into his exams. I would highly recommend Gavin.

Very pleased with Gavin as he is accommodating with my sons other commitments. My son feels happy and more confident after each tutor session. My only regret is that I did not search for a tutor earlier.

I looked for a tutor for our son who was struggling with English Language and English Literature. It was 6 months before his GCSE and he was struggling to attain a Grade D. Gavin`s approach was excellent, he identified the areas that needed focus and gained our sons trust immediately.. Our son gained so much confidence during the time with Gavin and gained a Grade B in both subjects. I would not hesitate to recommend or use Gavin again. Thank you

Seemed to understand my sons weak areas and started to work towards solving them! Looking forward the next session :)
