Tutoring Approach:

I love to create a friendly and relaxed atmosphere in lessons and will work to whatever speed and level my pupil dictates. If there is a wish to take exams then I will encourage and support that, but I also have a lot of pupils that just wish to learn for fun and i'm equally as happy working in this way.
