Nathan

I graduated from Cambridge University with a 2:1 in the Human, Social and Political Sciences and have been tutoring for 5 years. Recent students have gained A*s at A-Level and 7-9s at GCSE. I believe in teaching learning techniques which give students the confidence to achieve high grades for life. I also make the teaching experience personalised to a student’s abilities and interests so they can develop significantly faster than in a standard classroom.

I will always look to prioritise student welfare, and have a CPD qualification in Safeguarding Children alongside my Enhanced DBS Certificate. My voluntary work for The Mix Young Person's Helpline has provided me with additional training in emotional support. I also work with the Neurodiverse Self Advocacy Organisation so have specialist knowledge regarding autistic and neurodivergent people.

Tutoring Approach

I am most interested in teaching skills that will allow you to achieve high grades for life. I believe there is a methodical approach one can take for exams to ensure success. It requires hard work and discipline, but there are a series of techniques that can rewire how you think about working hard. This will ensure you are most efficient with your time and focus your energies towards the right areas.
