Personal Description: I am a keen educator with good communication skills and a professional approach. By using different approaches to learning and teaching I assist my students to achieve their full potential regardless of level and prior knowledge.

Achievement is paramount but the enjoyment of learning is also nurtured.

Many of my tutees have been very successful both at Standard Grade and Higher levels. They have achieved several band 1 Credit passes and A Higher grades in Mathematics, Physics and Economics.

I was educated in Scotland as well as abroad. I have also worked abroad. At present I am employed as a Mathematics teacher in a Secondary School.

Tutoring Experience: I have 20 years experience in lecturing at all levels to all age groups covering the broad spectrum of Computing and ICT up to and including HND Level. I am also a qualified secondary school teacher with full GTC registration (Scotland) for Mathematics. I have taught from S1 to S6. I am trained in Psychology,Political Theory,Philosophy and Sociology. I have expertise in Economics and have tutored in this subject up to Advanced level. Many of my tutees have achieved to a high level. Recently, one of my tutees achieved a remarkable score of 100% in the Higher Modern Studies examination. Additionally, one of my tutees was awarded the Computing prize by the school for the second year in a row, other have been awarded both Physics and Mathematics prizes. I am also available for tuition for the UKCATT test for entry to medicine. Three of my tutees have successfully completed this examination achieving their highest scores in the mathematical sections.

Tutoring Approach: My tutoring style involves the use of a range of activities including use IT packages where applicable. The learning environment would be supportive and encouraging. Use of regular feedback and opportunity to promote learning is provided. Evaluation of progress is provided on a regular basis. I am highly skilled in examination techniques and can assist the learner to achieve the highest grade possible.
