I try to make lessons as much fun as possible.
It is important to know what a student already knows before moving forward.
I always particularly focus on areas in which the student needs support.
I have taught students of many ages.

I have had the pleasure of tutoring students for long periods of time. I feel I am very dependable. I have just guided a pupil from year 5 all the way through to GCSE's. I have been tutoring most of my students for over three years.

Online, I use noise-reduction headphones, visualiser and webcam. For most subjects both I and the pupil have the same book from which to work from.

I generally progress through the National Curriculum until a few months before examination when I switch to working through past papers.

Over the last thirty years I have taken on board many roles such as, a Class Teacher, Senior Lead, Head of Department, Headteacher, Tutor, School Governor and Nursery Director.

I have attained a National Professional Qualification in Headship.
I have a Postgraduate Certificate in Education.
I have a Bachelors Degree and about to finish my Master's Degree in Art in Science.

I have am now in the process of applying for a Doctorate; which will be assessing the efficacy of using physical forms in mathematical pedagogy.

I am flexible with cancellations. The majority of my gaps in availability are at 5:30pm weekdays.
I hope I have included enough information. Please contact me if you wish to know more.
