Primary teacher with 13 years' experience offering private lessons across all areas of the Primary Curriculum in Manchester.

Hi, I'm Craig! I'm an experienced primary school teacher and former Assistant Headteacher, and I've spent many years working with children of different ages, abilities and personalities. I absolutely love seeing that moment when something suddenly clicks for a child — especially when they go from saying "I can't do this" to "I get it!" That's one of the best parts of teaching for me. I'm a friendly, patient and enthusiastic teacher, and I try to make my lessons feel very different from simply sitting in a classroom. I believe learning should be enjoyable, and I love finding different ways to explain things until we discover what works best for each individual student. Outside of teaching, I'm a big fan of travel, exploring new places, good food and coffee, and I'm currently learning Spanish myself! I know from personal experience that learning something new isn't always easy, and sometimes you need someone who can explain things in a different way, encourage you when you're struggling and celebrate the progress you make along the way. That's exactly the kind of tutor I aim to be. Whether we're tackling tricky maths problems, improving reading, preparing for SATs or developing writing skills, I'll always aim to make our lessons relaxed, positive and engaging. I want my students to feel comfortable asking questions, making mistakes and having a go — because that's how we learn. For me, tutoring isn't just about helping children get better marks. It's about helping them become more confident, independent learners who believe they can succeed. I'm really looking forward to getting to know you and helping you discover what you're capable of!
