A teacher of 25 years, I mix traditional and modern methods of learning to ensure pupils realise their potential. I am 46, married and a proud father of two lovely daughters, I appreciate how important it is to get decisions on education right. I enjoy keeping fit and have recently discovered running and the sense of achievement and pride one can get from it. I am an approachable person who enjoys the company of family and friends. I like to visit new places and try to make the most of what comes my way.

Tutoring Experience

I am a qualified teacher with experience in teaching and preparing students for a range of examinations, including 11+ / entrance exams in English and Maths, verbal and non-verbal reasoning. With 25 years teaching and tutoring experience, I enjoy unlocking the potential in pupils to help them achieve their goals. I have worked in both state and Independent school settings. I have prepared many children for their examinations in the schools I have taught at and individually through tutoring. All children are successful in attending their chosen school.

I am fluent in Spanish with a genuine passion for teaching the subject and love of the culture and country. I have experience of teaching Spanish to all age ranges, both adult and children whose wish is to learn for fun and holidays, to GCSE and A-level.

I currently enjoy teaching in an independent school setting from 4 - 18 year olds and have experience in teaching many specialist subjects to a wide age range.

As well as specialising in preparing children for entrance exams and 11+ I have a masters level qualification in Special Educational Needs (SEN).

Tutoring Approach

I believe fun, enjoyment and confidence are the key elements of learning. It is imperative to teach in a variety of ways and establish the best learning style for each individual pupil exploring Visual, Auditory and Kinaesthetic methods of learning. By 'doing' a learner learns and remembers. My initial training as a teacher has helped me to teach any subject effectively. Helping students overcome barriers to learning and making progress are the things I enjoy the most about teaching. I am genuinely passionate about my subjects and in seeing learners reach their potential. I too enjoy the challenge of mastering new things and embracing the notion that you never ever stop learning.
