Having taught since 1993, I currently work as an examiner and teach selected private clients including those who are home-schooled.
** One remaining local evening slot is available due to cancellation. There are a couple of daytime slots remaining Online tuition in those slots is available nationally.
I have 26 years' teaching experience and periods acting as head of department, examiner and moderator. I've taught in mixed, boys', girls', selective, SEN , private and state schools. I have also taught intervention classes, adults, residential classes and I've enjoyed working with high ability Autistic Spectrum and CAMHS students.
I have taught many students with sensitive safeguarding referrals and CAHMS referrals.
My experience comprises over 25 years maths teaching, 12 years physics and chemistry (not biology) teaching.
Maths /physics degree then I also underwent post graduate re-training in physics and chemistry teaching.
Each student is very different and the ways they learn can vary. Students usually respond positively to my "lighter" non-confrontational style.
Please consider that we shouldn't be forcing students to have private lessons and that sort of approach rarely guarantees results. For this to work, students needs to "buy into" wanting to be helped. I like to select and get to know my students individually regardless of their ability. I have enough experience to draw on alternative approaches to topics. However, I will be honest and realistic with students and parents about expectations.
I prefer to meet with students and their families before tuition commences to discuss realistic requirements so that we can all work together.
NB. Genuine enquiries only please.
*Please NO fortnightly or monthly slot requests please.
Prices are as quoted.
NO agencies.
Please note that I charge for any last minute cancellations, especially if I have driven to you.
Due to a significant increase in the number of non-paying and late-paying clients recently, I may ask any new clients to pay for some lessons in advance for a short period.
