Full time tutor, having successfully tutored many hundred of students, of all abilities. Over the last 12 years. I guarantee results. Identifying the students learning style, communicating effectively and building upon solid foundations.

As a holder of enhanced DBS certification, I have worked in many secondary schools in Cambridgeshire. Working closely with overstretched departments, and providing input, on best practice. Gaining a reputation for inspiring "disinterested" students. Very aware of "new" GCSE and "A" level specifications and exams.

Previously, I was a Forensic Scientist for 12 years, having studied marine biology and biochemistry at university, gaining a BSc(hons).
Then gaining a teaching qualification.
I am Passionate about education, general knowledge buff and importantly Dad to my two young children.

Most importantly I know how to engage students, demonstrating that learning is fun, enjoyable and empowering. I recognise the importance of different personalities and hence learning style. I use a VARK (visual, aural, reading, and kinesthetic) system to identify and target learning style.

I also specialise in homeschooled students where I can use these skills to motivate and inspire and help them to see a clear path ahead. Total support is vital, study plans, resources and how to be successful in examinations are crucial.

I want to put something back into society and what better way than empowering the next generation. I relish developing a students knowledge, in a fun and entertaining manner. The look of satisfaction on a students face that now understands is priceless.

Nоt the cheаpest аnd definitely nоt the mоst expensive BUT I guаrаntee the best vаlue.

Tutoring Experience

I have successfully tutored hundreds of students over the last 12 years.
At A level I have never had a student that has not got an A or a B. GCSE grades are all above 5 and SATS are outstanding.

Mentoring and guiding students in order for them to obtain their goals is important to me. I show them how to pass exams.
Instilling excellent exam and revision techniques are at the forefront of achieving a good grade.

I'm hugely experienced in the home education market, often receiving students that other tutors have failed to engage.

Tutoring Approach

I target a students learning style using the VARK system, which produces enhanced results.
Students learn more effectively when they enjoy what is being taught, I have been told that I make lessons enjoyable by making my enthusiasm infectious.
Building upon solid foundations of understanding and then hanging facts onto this firm core.

Nоt the cheаpest аnd definitely nоt the mоst expensive BUT I guаrаntee the best vаlue.
