Currently head of department at a prestigious independant school in south Wales. With 15 years of experience in the classroom. I would consider myself a friendly and patient individual who is never dismissive when it comes to students asking questions. I am prepared to tailor my lessons and teaching style to the needs of each individual student.
I have a long track record of proven success.

Tutoring Approach

I am committed to planning lessons that make the most of the time we have and are tailored to suit the student's needs. Lessons are varied, I like to use several techniques including revising content, short quizzes and exam questions, but can adapt which of these, and how much of each, makes up a lesson to suit the student's learning style. In my opinion, there are no wrong answers, just useful mistakes! These are vital for progression in a subject so I encourage students to give everything a go. I aim to do a short quiz or an exam question at the beginning of a session, covering what was taught in the last, to ensure knowledge has been retained and offer an opportunity to ask any questions before starting the next topic.
