Tutoring Experience

Tutoring from age 7 to adults with proven results helping students make significant progress and improve their grades.

I have experience teaching GCSE Maths and GCSE Statistics at both higher and foundation tiers in a UK school and also have a good knowledge of the IGCSE and IB curriculums. My tutoring experience is over a wide variety of qualifications and levels including KS1, 2, 3, GCSE and IGCSE.

I have previously taught in UK secondary schools teaching Year 7 - 11 including multiple exam classes. I am currently teaching at an Alternative Provision with students with SEND and students who are unable to attend school for various reasons.

I am a current GCSE examiner.

Tutoring Approach

Spaces for face-to-face tutoring are available on weekday daytimes. All face-to-face tutoring is from my purpose built home classroom in Calne.

Online sessions are available for 1:1 tuition or group tuition. Online sessions take place in Pencil Spaces, a collaborative, interactive classroom.

All of my 1:1 tutoring sessions are an hour long and term-time only as default. Other session lengths and holiday sessions can be discussed. Your first session will be a 30 minute introductory meeting to discuss goals and for us to get to know each other, this meeting is free of charge.

I offer online GCSE groups at Foundation and Higher level. The groups include a live lesson each week plus lots of self paced online learning materials and individual feedback on consolidation work and practice papers. Live lessons are on Wednesday evenings for Higher and Thursday evenings for Foundation. Groups are paid for per month (£120 per month for 6 months).

I run a GCSE resit group from September to November with twice weekly live lessons, self paced online learning materials and individual feedback on consolidation work and past papers. This group is £390 for the full course.

I also run home education groups online during the school day. These are £10 per lesson.
