Information About Paul

Personal Description: I am now entering my second decade of teaching and have put hundreds of students through their 11+, GCSE and A'level examinations.
The benefits of the one to one tuition that I provide can never be matched in the state or private school sector because :

-As a one to one student you will always have the undivided attention of the teacher for the entire lesson.
-All lesson plans can be individually tailored to your needs.
-We can spend as little or as long on any given individual topic until it is properly understood. The choice is yours.

Tutoring Experience: I am a professionally qualified teacher (Enhanced CRB checked) with over twelve years of teaching experience; having taught all age groups ranging from primary school to those over 60+ years of age.

I provide a friendly and relaxed educational environment in which students (young or old) are able to concentrate and achieve their full potential.

I have an excellent reputation in my local area as a professional tutor, with a client base of happy parents whose children I have taught.

Students respond best to a structured and organised approach to education, especially one that can develop their potential to learn. I teach with this in mind.

Ask a student why they like or dislike a particular subject and they will invariably respond that they dislike the subjects they do not understand. Poor performance can be attributed to this. My role as a teacher is to turn this around.

The skill of teaching is simply the power of explanation. The better the explanation, (the easier it is to understand) the better the teacher.

Tutoring Approach: Education can be simply split into two parts - Understanding and Memory.

Without a clear understanding of the subject there can only be partial or complete confusion instead.

Understanding is therefore the first goal of education.

The second goal of education which reinforces the first is memory.

Memory (technique) must be taught otherwise what has been understood will simply be forgotten.

A good memory is therefore as valuable as a good ability to understand. I teach both aspects and therefore utilise both the left and right hand side of the brain.

  • BA (Hons) Degree, Teacher's certificate, PGCE

From Olya (5/5): (Primary Entrance Exams)

From Lucky (5/5): (Secondary Entrance Exams) Excellent tutor, tutored my daughter for 8 weeks and was really good help. I am very grateful for his teachings as my daughter passed the test. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.

From Anne-Marie (5/5): (Secondary Entrance Exams) Paul was a fantastic help to my son and helped him with memorable learning techniques that were easy to remember and understand. He built up a wonderful rapport, that made it both enjoyable and fun. My son was keen to go back everytime and I feel I would recommend him to anyone.

From Gina (5/5): (Secondary Maths) I have contacted Paul but he hasn't started teaching yet.

From Shaheen (5/5): (Primary English) In only a short time Paul has made a great impact. He has a wonderful approach to learning that keeps the child focused and leaves plenty of feedback to help me assist my child until the next lesson. He has a kind and friendly disposition which instills confidence in my child and his use of memory technique in learning means every lesson consolidates previously learnt subject matter.
I would definetly recommend him to others.

From Stefana (5/5): (Primary Entrance Exams) Got in touch and arranged first lesson very quickly. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Made us all feel very comfortable. Get's on with my son very well and we're seeing results quickly. Would thoroughly recommend. Thanks
