** I am taking new clients, sessions starting immediately, in preparation for the GCSE 2024 exams. **

I am an empathetic, focused and passionate educator who strives to bring out the best in others so that they can reach their full potential. Throughout my experience in education I have been commended for my working relationships with young people, as many have found me to be relatable, and appreciate my ability to convey information in a manner that resonates with them. As a result, I have witnessed positive change in both their academic performance and self-confidence.

Over the course of my professional career, I have taught across a wide range of age groups with students of varying ability, and have covered many different subjects and exam boards. I have experience developing entire curriculums from the ground up, have served as a guest speaker at conferences within my subject area, and currently hold the role of an exam assessor for OCR.

I utilise a range of tutoring styles that are customised to meet the specific needs of my students, and I provide feedback during and after each session. My extensive resource library features custom-made materials, including practice exam papers. All of these resources, along with additional support content like code examples and diagrams, are made accessible to students at no extra cost. A standard tutoring session typically lasts between 45 minutes to an hour. I actively provide support beyond our scheduled sessions. I provide individualised tutoring as well as the option for group sessions.

I have the capability to assist further education and higher education students by proof-reading their assignments. Additionally, I can provide guidance on meeting grading standards and offer advice on achieving higher grades.

I offer a bespoke service to all of my clients. The pricing on my profile is flexible, depending on requirements. For instance, I am also able to provide email support, which is often a more cost-effective option.

Feel free to contact me with any questions, and to discuss your tutoring needs.
