Nick

I have mainly worked with pupils from the age of ten to twenty-two and love to support students in finding their learning style. My specialist subjects are English and Maths, including the 11+ and Common Entrance exams, I also teach both English and Drama to A Level standard, Maths to GCSE and provide Voice and Elocution lessons. I have experience in tutoring students with dyslexia and am also an experienced communications coach.

Tutoring Approach

I will tailor my teaching techniques to my pupil's needs. I am very easy to get along with and very open to how you think you or your child will best learn. It is all about communication. If you have any questions at all or specific enquiries, please do not hesitate to get in touch.
