I have been a teacher of A level for 20 years. I have 4 children, the elder two have been to University, gaining degrees in Economics and Economics and History. The younger two are at sixth form college and secondary school.

Tutoring Experience

I have been teaching A level Business Studies/Economics and Accounting for just over 20 years. I started in Hyde sixth form in Tameside, where I ran the Department for a number of years. I moved to Loreto in Manchester, where I taught Business studies and Accounting. My job at the moment is teaching Economics and accounting A level in a sixth form in Widnes.. i am now teaching economics and accountng in a college in Manchester.

Tutoring Approach

I believe tutoring gives individuals help to gain higher grades. It is important for the student to feel comfortable and confident within the tutoring session. For the student to benefit there has to be a relationship of respect from both sides. I have tutored both students and trainee teachers and feel very confident I can build up a relationship which will allow the student to learn effectively. I believe the effective tutor empowers the student to learn in the way the student feels confident in.
