Immensely fond of teaching to impart, expand existing knowledge and to enthuse students. Time is fleeting, if used wisely the hours, weeks, months and years spent with a private tutor will make a student's academic life much more rewarding, in so many ways.

Unfortunately, I had one abusive review from someone, who asked me to do things outside of teaching. This has never happened before. Life is full of surprises.

Now, the academic year is coming to a close, I have put my ad back on this site for students, who may need to start now or during the summer for exams during September-December. Equally, I am happy to start now and not teach during the summer. I have only two slots available for: 2 hrs + on either Monday or Friday until the end of this academic year.

Approximately 35 years' experience in education. I was a principal/coordinator of a small private college, but I found teaching so much more rewarding after my first child.

Tutoring Experience

Education management. Primary, secondary and further education teaching. Head of Deaf Unit. Head of IT. SENCO supply in secondary schools. French and Psychology to A' level. I have worked for the last 10 years mainly in primary. schools or teaching after school.

In my experience private tuition can help students: get into the top set; out of special measures or just catch-up in one subject or several.

Tutoring Approach

My approach to teaching students is to teach them. When, I am engaged for one hour or more, that time is for the student. I arrive on time, and I leave on time. Equally, I encourage students to start on time, be immersed in the lessons and finish exactly on time. In this way, a friendly, respectful, professional exchange is kept to between the student/s, tutor and parent/s. Often, I have other work to go to after the lesson has finished. Ordinarily, the students are grateful to get on with whatever they have to do at the end of the lesson, and parents are happy to wave goodbye to me at the end of a long day for them.
