Hello parents and students!

I have enjoyed online tutoring of Maths, English and Science upto GCSE on a voluntary basis for a year with the charities Refunet and Action Tutoring. I have devised my own student centered approach based mainly on past papers, as this ensures the syllabus is covered accurately, and that students are prepared for exam conditions. When I identify a weak area, we explore it in depth using practice questions from resources such as GCSE Bitesize. I picture myself as a friendly big brother whenever I'm teaching, which seems to be effective according to my feedback. Volunteering has been a hugely rewarding experience, and I intend to continue my charity work for as long as possible!

As a hospital Radiographer for 12 years, I have been actively involved in helping many degree level students with their studies. Radiography is a scientific subject requiring in depth knowledge of radiation Physics, Maths and Biology. I have also taught Historic Fencing at my own club in Manchester for 6 years, which is part of my lifelong love of Medieval History, and I am a competent guitarist. When I lived in Manchester, I spent 4 years at 207 Field Hospital, as an Army Reserve Radiographer and Physical Training Instructor. This was a very interesting time, when I learnt a lot about personal skills and leadership.

Find Tutors seems like a really exciting opportunity to find rewarding work without a commute, and I look forward to meeting your family! Hope you have a great day!
