For over ten years I have given tuition in Mathematics and Physics. I cover all qualifications up to and including A Level, together with the Sciences to GCSE. With years of experience in school, including teaching in St Aidan’s Harrogate (ranked amongst the highest achieving comprehensive schools in the country), I have helped a multitude of pupils ranging from as young as six through to mature students. Covering English and Reasoning where desired, I have experience in helping preparation for 7+, 8+, 11+ and 13+ entrance examinations as well as the STEP and PAT tests required for the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge. With my tuition, entrance has been gained to the schools of Aldenham, Fulham Prep, Harrogate Ladies, Sedbergh, Charterhouse and Latymer. After my tuition, the grades required for university offers have been attained, including from Oxbridge. I also have experience aiding with IB and professional skills tests together with Pre-U and IGCSE.
Teaching online has allowed me to help internationally (via video calling, online tools and applications). I am familiar with different examination boards, particularly AQA, Edexcel, OCR, CIE and ISEB.
Having experienced rigorous training, I am now an A level examiner for a major board and have relished the challenges of marking candidates' papers. I feel this gives me an invaluable perspective when preparing my students for their own tests.
I have helped several students with Autism Spectrum Disorder, Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder, those with dyslexia and students who are home schooled or have had to change school due to behavioural difficulties or conditions including severe physical handicaps and speech and language difficulties. These pupils were often rather behind in their studies. Furthermore, I have been trained for and have taught looked after children and also have experience of helping those for whom English is an additional language.
