Personal Description: I live in West London, and would like to assist any student who thinks they can improve their academic studies. I have a passion for teaching and have been providing private tutoring services since 2002.

I understand that students may have numerous activities which they have to attend to. Thus, I am flexible with the arrangements - we can arrange for the following session at the end of the present session.

Tutoring Experience: I have 8 years of tutoring experience for individuals and small groups (up to 3 students). My students frequently request for help to improve their Mathematics. Although some of my previous students were falling behind in their study, I have also taught students who wanted to challenge themselves with higher level learning.
My longest engagement with a student is for 4 years, until she completed her GCSEs.
In addition to private tutoring, I was also a school teacher (of Mathematics and English) at the GCSE level in 2002.
Most of my students have seen significant improvement in their results within the first months of the engagement.

Tutoring Approach: I believe that tutoring is about accomodating to the needs of the student in a light-hearted and informal setting.
My approach is to first understand the role of the tutor - to help the student gain speed in his/her learning, or to push the students towards excellence. Also, I understand that there is immense pressure from schools in the students' regular cirriculum. Hence, addition tuition work may be too overwhelming for the student. Consequently, the student has a choice to receive addition work (or otherwise).
I do not have my own teaching material. I like to use the teaching materials that students already own for a few reasons. Firstly, they would be familiar with the materials they have and we can go straight into the discussions quickly. Secondly, having a new opinion (from tutor) on their pre-exisiting material will shed new light on the topic, hence increasing their understanding better. Thirdly, more material would translate into additional costs
