Private Maths and English Tuition in Newcastle

I am a fully qualified teacher with 20 years teaching experience (UK, Bermuda and Canada). I have had a full and diverse career teaching people across a wide age range, subjects and settings. I love working in education and helping people achieve academically, personally and professionally. I am very professional in my approach, equipped with all relevant learning materials and resources. If you are looking for a driven teacher to help you or your children progress, I will be able to assist greatly. I work for the two biggest UK exam boards (OCR and AQA) as a specialist marker for English, Math, Geography and PE for GCSE qualifications. I work one-one with students who are preparing for the new SAT papers.

Tutoring Approach

The most important aspect of teaching is to have a good relationship with the student. I am very approachable and communicate to the learner exactly what each session will achieve. I have a good sense of humour which will be paramount in making your time enjoyable as well as educational. There have been massive changes to the curriculum and also in SAT test delivery. Because I work in a school and moderate for the exam boards who administer the exams I am a key component to my clients success.
