About me

I aim to make lessons engaging and enjoyable while maintaining a strong focus on progress, understanding and confidence. Before introducing new material, I assess what a student already knows so that learning builds naturally from their current level of understanding. Particular attention is given to identifying and addressing gaps in knowledge.

I aim to make lessons engaging and enjoyable while maintaining a strong focus on progress, understanding and confidence. Before introducing new material, I assess what a student already knows so that learning builds naturally from their current level of understanding. Particular attention is given to identifying and addressing gaps in knowledge.

I have extensive experience teaching and tutoring students of different ages, abilities and educational needs. One of the aspects of tutoring I value most is building long-term relationships with students and their families. For example, I recently supported a pupil from Year 5 through to their GCSE examinations, and many of my current students have been with me for three years or more.

For online lessons, I use professional equipment, including a visualiser and webcam, to ensure sessions are clear, interactive and effective. Lessons are tailored to each student's needs and generally follow the National Curriculum. As examinations approach, the focus shifts towards revision, past papers and exam technique.

Over the past thirty years, I have worked as a Teacher, SENDCo, Senior Leader, Headteacher, Tutor and University Educator. My qualifications include an NPQH, PGCE, Bachelor's degree and Master's degree, and I am currently undertaking doctoral research in mathematics education.

I cannot recommend Gary highly enough. He has been Katie’s tutor for the past five years and has played an instrumental role in her academic development, confidence, and success. Gary is an exceptionally knowledgeable, dedicated, and professional educator who consistently goes above and beyond for his students. His ability to explain complex concepts clearly, adapt his teaching to individual learning styles, and maintain high expectations while providing unwavering support has made a tremendous difference to Katie’s progress. What sets Gary apart is his genuine commitment to each student’s success. He is patient, encouraging, and highly skilled at building confidence, helping students not only improve academically but also develop independent learning skills that will benefit them throughout their education and beyond. Over the years, Gary has been reliable, approachable, and always willing to provide additional guidance whenever needed. His passion for education is evident in
