Teacher of Religious Studies, Philosophy & Ethics | RS examiner | Head of Department | Educational Psychologist | GCSE, IGCSE, A-level and 13+ Common Entrance and Scholarship

Proven results: As Head of Religious Studies for 25 years, I have extensive experience preparing students for GCSE RS, A-level Philosophy & Ethics and 13+ Theology (Common Entrance and Scholarship).

Specialist support: I specialise in OCR Philosophy, Ethics, and Developments in Christian Thought at A-level. At GCSE level, I specialise in the AQA, OCR, Edexcel, Eduqas and IGCSE specifications.

With extensive classroom, online and in-person expertise, I deliver tailored instruction for individuals, small groups and home-schooled students.

Examiner experience: Having worked as an examiner for both AQA and OCR examination boards, I teach students how to approach and structure each type of examination question in order to maximise their grades.

Psychological/Emotional support: My experience as a qualified Psychologist enables me to support neurodiverse and SEN students, tailoring every session to their specific learning needs, and assist students in managing examination anxiety.

Elite Credentials: Rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted and awarded the prestigious Advanced Skills Teacher status.

Lesson Planning: I provide structured, high-impact sessions that provide clear targets for students and ensure parents / carers are kept fully informed about student progress. I quickly inspire in students the desire to achieve their full potential in Religious Studies examinations.

`Karl was brilliant and my son achieved A* for both Philosophy and Ethics!` Alison (A-Level Philosophy & Ethics)

'Karl is outstanding. Our son's confidence, exam technique, and understanding grew exponentially and this was all down to Karl and his wonderful tuition. Not only did he improve in RS, but other subjects as well, owing to the applicability of the techniques taught by Karl in other subjects. Even if my others sons are doing well in RS, I will still book in sessions with Karl when their exams approach to give them the absolute best preparation'. Terra (GCSE Religious Studies)

Karl is absolutely fantastic. All three of my sons have studied with and loved Karl. He swiftly became the benchmark for excellent tutors in our household. My eldest saw Karl when he started struggling with RS. He went from scoring 2+ in mocks to achieving an 8 on the exam - within the space of four months. My twins saw Karl this past year as well, when it came time for their RS exam. Although we haven't had the results back yet, I'm confident that it will be as impressive. Karl is incredibly effective at connecting with students and encouraging them, while vastly improving their skills. I was a touch concerned about how effective online tutoring would be but it was great. Would recommend without any hesitation whatsoever.

A truly exceptional tutor. Karl has provided both my daughters with outstanding tuition and support during their RS A levels. What sets Karl apart is his ability to tailor his approach to the individual needs of each child. His active and engaging revision style, combined with his talent for breaking down complex ideas, has built both knowledge and confidence in our daughters in equal measure. He is also very proactive, providing additional resources between sessions to keep momentum going. We cannot recommend him highly enough!

Karl has been tutoring my daughter in A level Religious Studies since September 2025 and I recommend him unreservedly. He is very well organised and clear when making arrangements for tutor sessions. He quickly built a positive relationship with my daughter and enhanced her confidence and trust in his teaching. He was able to identify her weaknesses and addressed them sympathetically and with interesting teaching methodology which she found very helpful. She is always smiling at the end of a tutor session and says she has enjoyed her lesson and never finds her learning boring. He has planned revision topics and revisited past modules systematically so that she approaches the coming A level examinations with confidence. Karl has been exceptional in all his work with her.
