Tutoring Experience

I have taught mathematics and physics at all levels, in secondary schools, colleges and University and have an approachable manner, with the ability to communicate on the students level and put them at ease. I have experience with special educational needs, english as a second language, and working with autism.

Tutoring Approach

I am happy tutoring at all levels from KS3 to postgraduate, with a casual and informal approach that puts the student at ease and makes the topic accessible, but with an underlying focus that enables development to full potential. My communication skills are well honed, and I have the ability to communicate across the entire social spectrum at all age levels.
