Information About Andrew
Personal Description: I am an experienced teacher and tutor. I am calm, patient, very clear with targets and have high expectations of myself and the students I work with. Because I have spent the last eleven years in a learning Support role, as well as teaching, my extensive teaching experience has been increased with much recent experience in 1:1 tuition/support.
Tutoring Experience: 30 years teaching experience at a variety of levels - from primary age up to degree level. My main teaching subjects have been Maths - GCSE: Economics, B Studies, Politics - A-Level and Vocational B/TEC awards - B/TEC First, Advanced etc , eg. B Studies, Sport, Travel/Tourism I have recently worked 1:1 with many students on a variety of GCSE, A-Level and Degree programmes eg Open Univ. - Child Development, UCLAN - Education. My main disability expertise is in the areas of Dyslexia and Autistic Spectrum disorders, eg Asperger Syndrome. I have 11 years experience teaching/supporting students with these disabilities, in a wide range of subjects including much success with planning and helping with coursework.
Tutoring Approach: My approach is to start with what a student might know - using patient questioning to ascertain the knowledge and the knowledge gaps. This verbal questioning would be supported with written assessed work which I would give detailed feedback on by the next week. When presented with essay-type support, I make a lot of use of planning (structure/bullet points etc.) of essay answers. I would operate by designing a scheme of work as soon as possible after the first meeting, and trying to keep to it. At times, learners bring homework to my sessions, which is fine, but my priority is to help them answer the questions themselves by patient questioning, re-teaching and helping with planning of work. I am flexible according to student needs, and believe continuous dialogue/reporting to parents on progress is essential.

Reply from Andrew: Jack is such a good student to work with. He listens and tries very hard with his Maths to learn in a systematic way
From Joe (4/5): (Secondary Maths) My son only had Andrew once but he was a really good teacher and seemed like a very genuine pleasant person.
Reply from Andrew: I wish Joe well with his issues and would keep a slot open should he wish to return to tuition
