During a recent inspection by an OFSTED inspector, my lesson was highlighted as the best he'd seen. This reflects my consistent grading as an outstanding teacher in schools, as you can see in the quotes from recent employers below.
"...Classroom visits indicate a very positive student/teacher rapport, extensive knowledge of subject matter and students who are highly engaged and motivated to succeed. Blake is very much respected and admired by his colleagues. His students find him to be approachable and appreciate his humour and his consistent support. "

My tutoring approach focuses on sparking your interest in the subject, as I believe that learning becomes much more engaging when you're genuinely curious about the topic. I tailor each lesson to align with your school's exam board, ensuring that all content is relevant to your exams.
We'll cover the material you need to succeed while also developing strategies and skills to effectively tackle exam questions. I provide all the necessary materials, so you can concentrate on mastering the content and building your confidence.
