Firstly I am a fully qualified(UK) and experienced(20 years) classroom science and maths teacher so you will not be risking your child's important academic career with a non teacher or inexperience. I am presently employed by 2 schools as a Consultant Tutor which involves assessing the suitability of perspective tutors in addition to both teaching and tutoring.
I have an excellent record of success where grades normally increase by at least a minimum of 2.

Paul McCusker
Paul is a wonderful, professional and attentive teacher.
He tutored both my sister and I in biology and always arrived on time for every single session. He is a positive teacher who is great at explaining what you do not understand and takes his in making sure you fully comprehend the work at hand. Paul uses many different and exciting techniques that allowed me to fully engage with the topic and helped me remember everything I needed to know for my exam.
I not only learnt a great deal on the subject which helped me get a fantastic grade in my results, but I even eventually thoroughly enjoyed biology and I have Paul to thank for that!
Subject: Biology Outcome: I improved by two grades in my A-Level results!

Excellent Tutor for Science
I have know Paul for over 6 years and found him to be highly experienced in his field of tutoring/teaching. He is very professional, yet friendly in his approach. He is able to identify students' strengths, weaknesses and learning style swiftly, to advise and implement the most appropriate mode of teaching that is best tailored to the individual student. By using this technique, he was a superb tutor for my daughter; I would recommend him to any parent/s or student that is serious about their academic progression.

Biology Tutor
Paul undertook regular weekly tutorials with my daughter who at that time was taking Biology AS and A2. He was focused. He knew the curriculum and the changes in the examination requirements very well. He had an exceptional skill at assessing the strengths and the weaknesses in a child's understanding of the subject matter. He was flexible giving additional tutorials before the examination. Paul assisted my daughter in developing study skills and most importantly, confidence in her ability to successfully navigate this subject
Subject: Biology Outcome: She attained an A in AS and in A2

Tutoring Approach

I like to create a relaxed and friendly environment where the student feels free to answer - as a wrong answer is usually more informative as to how a student perceives a subject rather than a correct one! If concept perception is a problem I can use many different teaching styles ( on average 5) to convey that topic from different angles. I can readily identify a student's weakness and work on this. I am excellent at installing confidence in a student by either revisiting and/or strengthening their weaknesses. Developing examination technique is my forte. I am firm but considerate.
Students tend to like me a lot! I have a caring and sensitive nature to my tutoring. My many years of classroom teacher and tutoring means that your child only gets the best.
