I have worked in education for nearly 20 years and have a lot of experience of how to work with children from all backgrounds and abilities. I have worked in a range of different schools and work with schools to improve the quality of their teaching. I am a trainer in schools and a professional leader in training school staff.

I like to make learning practical as this helps the student to understand the concept as well as the procedure, building up learning through small steps to get a better, deep understanding of the topic.
In my tuition sessions you would expect to have a range of different activities that range from learning games, quizzes, use of technology, traditional book work and learning activities but most of all building learning habits and a rapport with the pupil to ensure that not only is the learning being understood but it is fun and engaging as well.

Depending on the needs of the student I am able to adapt sessions to meet the needs and requirements that led to tuition. I have worked with a range of children and abilities to achieve different aims and can personalise the learning to meet the child's needs and align with their interests.

Students I have worked with in the past, either in classes, groups or individuals, have consistently achieved well and succeeded in overcoming challenges that the tuition was undertaken for. This includes weekly sessions to gain confidence, achieving GCSE results or test preparation to achieve higher scores through test technique.
