Online Maths and English Tuition

I am currently only offering online tuition worldwide and face-to-face tuition in the Bedford UK area.

I love teaching children in their homes. I am friendly and I use humour to keep things light and fun, but I'm highly focused on your child, and helping them to overcome the challenges they face. I have a broad life experience - including 17 years in corporate management. I've been a business owner, a college lecturer, corporate trainer, magistrate, and life coach.

PLEASE NOTE: There is a callout fee to add to thetuition fee. Within 5 miles of central Bedford is it £5, between 5 & 10 miles it is £8.

Tutoring Experience

I have been a private tutor for more than ten years, and I have a wide variety of related experience. I have three years lecturing at Bedford College, I have an adult teaching qualification. In my years of corporate life I developed and delivered, then supervised training programs throughout Europe.

Later, I was a corporate trainer for a charity, teaching care home staff how to bring happiness to residents.

My 12 years in life coaching has taught me a lot about people and how to free them for success and I've been tutoring individuals in their homes in various topics and at various levels since 2004. I've done a lot of this and I know how to do it well.

Tutoring Approach

I'm relaxed and friendly. My approach is tailored to each student. I keep them relaxed and comfortable. Only then can the real learning begin. I use humour and we develop an honest relationship. I learn about their aspirations and link our tuition work to those, where possible. I often use a tablet computer for a varied multi-media approach, to maintain interest and to find what works best with my students.

I do not offer fortnightly sessions or sessions shorter than an hour.

I will add a call out fee based on your distance from central Bedford - usually about £6. I will let you know how much it would be when you contact me.
