Philip

A UK-qualified teacher with 15 years’ experience in the classroom and an exam-marker, I hold degrees in both Economics and Environment Studies (a combination of science, engineering, and social science) and as such can tutor a range of subjects.

I am experienced with a variety of distance learning tools and can assist in setting these up on your devices. These tools allow me to deliver flexible tuition remotely that fits your requirements.

Learning doesn’t have to stop because of lockdown.

Tutoring Experience

I've taught a variety of subjects - Geography (all levels), Economics (A-Level), Science (to GCSE) and Maths (to Key Stage 3 pupils for 6 years - both across the ability range and higher ability sets). I've worked in a variety of state schools, including a special school.

My status of Chartered Geographer (Teacher) recognises my ongoing commitment to professional development, and I am a successful independent education consultant.

Tutoring Approach

If you want professional tuition to keep your child (or children) learning during lockdown, please get in touch.

I make learning fun and engaging, and actively encourage a questioning as it sustains interest and helps learners integrate new understanding into their understanding of the world.

I use my wide-ranging skills to explain complex concepts in a way which is accessible and appealing to learners of all ages – from Key Stage 2 to A-Level.
This helps to develop self-confident, enquiring and resilient learners and creates extremely positive working relationships.

While schools are shut and/or delivering learning remotely, I can provide flexible support at a variety of price points that reflect on the service level you’re looking for.

For example, I can provide continuity of learning, regular teaching and work to ensure learners don’t fall behind or address existing concerns to ensure when schools do return to normal that pupils are ready to make progress.
