Private Maths and English Tuition in Lewisham

After eight years teaching secondary English full-time at a boarding school in Oxford, I have moved to London. I want a bit more flexibility in my life so am taking up private tutoring full-time (alongside a few small creative projects).

Tutoring Experience

2016-23: Radley College, Oxfordshire - taught English Y9-Y13
(2019-23: Director of University Entrance at Radley College, so I am also extremely experienced with all maters relating to UCAS applications)
(2017-21: Deputy Housemaster at Radley College)
2015-16: Halliford School, Shepperton - taught English Y7-Y13

Tutoring Approach

I take a pastoral approach, trying to engage the student as much as possible with the material and trying to get them to see the value in the work we are doing. I am kindly and gentle. I am rigorous but not over-demanding.
