(3 reviews)

Personal Description:

After leaving school, I studied at Nottingham University for a BA in Music, then for a MA in Theology from the London School of Theology. I have recently completed a research masters and am studying for a PhD. My study has been interspersed with employment at a local secondary school of which I am now a governor. My own interests are principally in theology, philosophy and politics, but also the arts, culture and social work. I am married, have two young children, and am a keen football fan (Manchester United).

Tutoring Experience:

Each person is an individual with different strengths and weaknesses, so I try to structure how I teach around individual needs and goals. When teaching I also believe that giving people self confidence, an ability to think critically and an enjoyment of the subject is an important part of helping them to improve
