I teach English and Maths at KS3 and GCSE level to help students do better. And feel better.
My lessons support schooling. In classrooms, teachers move quickly between topics, hoping pupils don't forget previous work. In my sessions, we spend time on the core skills. We build on them until the foundations for success are firmly in place.
With 25 years behind me before tutoring, I bring an awareness of life’s lessons to my pupil’s lessons. I look for individual strengths and aim to grow the potential in each student for their exams and beyond. That’s the difference I offer.
Following a 25-year career in marketing, I began tutoring online during 2020’s lockdown.
I teach KS3 and GCSE English and Maths. I believe having a grasp in these key subjects builds confidence that can help all other lessons. I think of them like the gym workout for the mind, helping keep it fit for daily exercise.
In 2023, I began volunteering with Action Tutoring. I wanted to “give something back”. I was proud to have been awarded Volunteer Tutor of the Year by the charity.
Learn from lessons developed in line with the DofE’s Assessment Objectives, not specific exam boards. Help pupils to see that these skills are important for life beyond exams.
Cover the pathway topics that help pupils become mathematically fluent and able to access many other topics in the curriculum.
Study comprehension, critical evaluation, and creative writing in English. Learn new vocabulary, technical terms and read from many curriculum texts.
Enjoy learning again in an informal, relaxed environment. If you’re willing to give me your time, I will give you every help I can to make you do better and feel better with your studies.
