Mrs Lisa Fishwick
Subject: Entrance Exams
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: From their home

About Lisa:
I am a mother of 4 children, I have also worked professionally with children for over ten years. I worked and studied part-time for several years and I have a degree in childhood studies, a foundation degree in Early Years and Education, a University certificate in Health and Social Care and I have Qualified teacher status and an enhanced CRB check. I am currently studying for my masters degree in education.

As a parent I have experienced helping my own children ( aged 7 - 15) with their homework, revision for SATs, and also revision for 11+ exams. In addition to this, two of my own children have specific learning difficulties so I am aware of strategies to use to support children with special needs.

Teaching Experience:
Professionally I was initially a teaching support assistant, where I worked with both groups and individual children from year 1 to year 6 supporting them with different aspects of the curriculum. This included working with children with special educational needs. I then qualified as a teacher and I have taught in year one, year two, year three and year five. This has meant that I have taught all curriculum subjects at a variety of levels over the past few years. I work in an inner city school, and so have extensive experience of supporting children who have English as an additional language.

Tutoring Approach:
I have a calm and flexible approach to tutoring. I believe that a tutoring approach has to be child specific. Due to this I always take into account; where the child is currently academically, what the child's preferred learning style is, the child's strengths and weaknesses, and also their personality before I make any decisions on my specific approach.

Mrs Aleha Khan
Subject: Entrance Exams
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home

About Aleha:
I am a University of Birmingham Medical Biochemistry and Toxicology Post Graduate who has been working in the NHS for the last 10 years. I lead a team of medical scientists on a daily basis and also train and educate other scientists.

I have a passion for imparting knowledge. I am a very sociable, amicable person who has a genuine desire to teach, motivate and mentor our future generation. I wish to help create intelligent and confident young minds and guide them onto the path to success in every aspect of life.

Teaching Experience:
I have no formal teaching qualifications, however I have exceptionally high academic achievements and teach graduates and undergraduates the principles of medical science and analytical chemistry.

I have also tutored several members of my family and friends, who have gone onto Grammar Schools, University and are successful in their current careers.

Tutoring Approach:
My philosophy is that "wisdom grows from study". Children posses the greatest and most intelligent minds. As a tutor, my job is to nurture and bring out the best in a child. Encouragement and enthusiasm is what drives children and makes them want to learn more and strive to succeed.
I believe in repeating and practising subject areas which are difficult. Setting attainable targets and helping a child achieve such targets is a pleasure. Every child is intelligent and has an abundance of potential and energy. I hone in on that energy, and encourage them to have self belief to reach their full potential. All it takes is a little patience and perseverance.
Through study, every child will learn to be focused, disciplined, mature, wise and self confident.
That is what I aim to teach.
My subject knowledge, is superb, in all the areas that I teach.

Miss Maiko Uesaki
Subject: Entrance Exams
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home / Online

About Maiko:
I am a second year Psychology student at the University of York. I am an open-minded, patient and highly motivated person with some experiences in tutoring. I am Japanese, so my native language is Japanese, but I am also fluent in English.

Teaching Experience:
I have taught English (as a foreign language), Mathes and Japanese before. I also helped some students get accustomed to entrance exam situations. People whom I taught these subjects varied from six years old to 65 years old.

Tutoring Approach:
I always try to keep in mind how I learned what I am teaching and what I struggled with when I studied what I am teaching. Looking through students' eyes often helps me understand better ways to teach and also makes the sessions more enjoyable.
I would like the students to not only study and memorise facts but actually learn for themselves. So I will try to make sure that I explain things properly until the student understand.
I may take different approach depending on the student's character, motivation and understanding.

Mr Josh Heffernan
Subject: Entrance Exams
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / Online

About Josh:
I am a 16-year-old currently taking History, Politics, Philosophy and German at A-Level. I am studying at King Edward VI Grammar School in Chelmsford. As the eldest of seven (soon to become eight), I have assisted with school work at all levels from primary school to GCSE level. For those who are interested, I earned 1 A*, 10 A and 2 B grades in my GCSEs last year. Apart from school, I am a keen sportsman, having played just about every sport most people can think of (and some they have never heard of!). I like to think of myself as being easy to get on with, although I may have to leave that decision up to the parents and tutees! I also have something of a passion for a classic general knowledge, being part of a team of National Schools' Championship Finals in 2006. It is debatable whether the relevance of this fact and whether I become your tutor, but I like to brag. Sorry!

Teaching Experience:
No official experience as of yet, though as the eldest of seven I do end up helping at various levels of school work.

Tutoring Approach:
As a student myself, I am sympathetic to the situation and the stress the tutee will be under. Therefore, I strongly believe that a relaxed and friendly environment is where you learn most effectively. Therefore I will be somewhat informal, although always on topic, any will attempt to adapt any lesson to suit the needs of each individual.
A generic lesson plan might go as follows:
Firstly, a very short recap of the previous lesson, to ensure the subject has been understood fully. Secondly, an explanation of the lesson plan and an objective for the session. Thirdly, the main part of the lesson, which would depend entirely on the subject. This would be explaining the events in question in History, reading a section of a book in English, and so on. Following this, I would attempt to introduce and explain the value of these (such as explaining the meaning of a poem, or showing practical examples of the new verbs in German). Finally, there would be a short Q&A session, in which the tutee would make clear any part of the lesson he/she did not understand, and any problems would be re-examined. I tend to stick relatively rigidly to this plan, although the timings of each may vary depending on the subject, and indeed the tutee.

Miss Samantha Hayden
Subject: Entrance Exams
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home / Online

About Samantha:
I am 17 years old and i achieved an A in my maths GCSE last year. I scored a level 8 on my year 9 SATs and enjoy teaching others maths. I am very patient and have experience in helping children with reading and writing skills. I have helped in primary schools teaching children to read on a one to one basis. I also attained a place at Bournemouth School for Girls, the local grammar school in my area, so know how stressful it is with the entrance exams! I could help with those as well.
I am currently at Bournemouth & Poole College studying art, childcare, english, maths, ict, tourism and catering.

Teaching Experience:
I have taught in a mainstream infant school and also in a special needs primary school from reception to year 4. I have experience in reading and writing skills, combined science for the younger years and maths up to GCSE level.

Tutoring Approach:
One to one is great for children because they can have all your attention and not feel scared to put their hand up in class. I would start off slowly, introducing myself to the child for one lesson (free of charge) and then we could discuss their problem areas and assess how they learn best, whether visual, audio etc

Mr Matthew Presutti
Subject: Entrance Exams

Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home / Online

About Matthew:
I am a third year Mathematics student at The University of Edinburgh and I will be graduating at the end of this year. I am very interested in taking my teaching career further after I graduate, and I see this as an excellent opportunity to gain further experience, and provide quality tutoring to ensure the success of the tutee. In addition I also provide University tuition but for 1st year students only. And I provide couching for the Oxford Cambridge OCR Mathematics STEP entrance examination papers for July 2008

Teaching Experience:
I have relevant Mathematics experiance through helping out 1st year economics students at my university.

Tutoring Approach:
First and foremost, I am determined to ensure the Tutee has fully understood all the main concepts required to ensure success for exams at School/College.

I feel firstly it's important to find out the progress and the standard of the Tutee to ensure I'm not explaining things that is already known. But more importantly, the things which the Tutee is struggling with. My main approach begins usually by explaining a lot of concepts in broad strokes to begin with by using appropriate analogies, this is followed by some examples. I will usually set questions after and check that the Tutee understands my teaching.

I also provide relevent teaching aids such as revision guilds and past papers.

Miss Isobel marshall
Subject: Entrance Exams

Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / Online

About Isobel:
A recent graduate from Cambridge University with a BA in French, German and History, I have a wide experience in the arts. A primary interest lies in education outreach, making learning interesting and valuable to students.

Teaching Experience:
I have just completed an initial teacher training in EFL (CELTA), and have experience in this field with both adults and young learners. I have also taught younger students in a theatrical capacity, and have tutored students preparing for exams and Oxbridge entry.

Tutoring Approach:
I believe a relaxed and comfortable approach is the best way to encourage enthusiasm and success for students. I favour a 'mentor' approach, guiding students and encouraging them to think for themselves, but obviously tailor my methods to meet specific goals the tutees may have. Tutoring is a very worthwhile way of supplementing education, and can play a vital role in fostering a desire to learn.

Whilst teachers work incredibly hard to ensure pupils receive this in lessons, children often require the added support of one-to-one tutoring to practise techniques and consolidate knowledge. With an increasingly exam-based curriculum, children need practise at test papers and knowledge of exam techniques which schools often don't have the time to offer. Be it for short-term exam support or long-term help consolidating lesson work, I aim to provide a supportive, caring service that gives you peace of mind and your child added skills and confidence

Mrs Susan Kinsella
Subject: Entrance Exams
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home

About Susan:
I am nearly sixty years of age. I have retired early due to ill health. I enjoy private tuition and find it rewarding to follow through with a pupil. Until four years ago, I tutored on a regular basis and became friends with many of the families, being recommended to others. I had to stop doing it when I took on my last position as I found I couldn't continue to make the time for both. I have a grown up family and grandchildren as well. I am not yet ready to retire from work properly and would welcome the chance to teach again.

Teaching Experience:
My last post was teaching KS3 Maths and History at a PRU. A very demanding job!

Before that, I worked as a supply teacher and private tutor since qualifying as a Special Needs Lecturer in 1995.

Tutoring Approach:
When teaching KS1 & 2, I usually find that pupils have, for various reasons, missed a chunk of the curriculum. I start by finding out what is known and then producing a plan which is discussed with both parents and pupil and agreed upon. I set a reasonable amount of homework as this lets the pupil and parents express a commitment.

When prepping for exams. I use old papers and give the pupil a good taste of what to expect. I encourage all the way. I set mock exams which are timed to give confidence.

About Giuseppe:
I am a young and confident student. Currently at my second university year.
German and Italian are my mother tongue, and I also speak Spanish fluently.
I did my A-Levels at a German school in Italy, graduating with excellent degrees.
Besides that my hobbies are sports.

Teaching Experience:
Since I am 16 I did private tutoring for German, Italian and Spanish at almost every level.

Tutoring Approach:
Firstly I would need to see the task, and get to know the student a little bit. So that I will be able to customize the lesson. I usually try to stimulate students to think by themselves.

Miss Jennifer Jardine
Subject: Entrance Exams
Availability: Weekends
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you

About Jennifer:
I am a graduate medical student in Newcastle with a BA in Maths and Philosophy from Oxford. I can teach both these subjects. I also teach Physics up to A-Level and help applicants prepare for entrance to graduate medicine, including for the GAMSAT.

Teaching Experience:
I have been coaching people through school exams since I was doing them myself. I have tutored people both formally and informally for a variety of exams.

Tutoring Approach:
I believe that tutoring is special because each individual concept can be explained until it is grasped by the individual. In maths and physics, practice is very important - but if consistent errors are not identified, it can be pointless. In a one-on-one settings it is possible to tackle individual issues. I like to try and make tutoring fun, but I believe that it is more important to finally grasp elusive concepts - something which everyone finds rewarding.

Miss Chantal Heppolette
Subject: Entrance Exams
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / Online

About Chantal:
I recently graduated from University of Cambridge in Medicine, and I am currently studying for a Master's in Immunology at Imperial College London.

Teaching Experience:
I have taught piano music theory to children and adults for 8 years. I have also taught science and maths of various levels to children for 6 years.

Tutoring Approach:
I find that a firm understanding of the subject, an understanding of a child's mind, and an appreciation of their other pressures makes a more supportive tutor. I also believe that questions and past papers provide a vital revision tool and test the knowledge of a student. It is time-wasting to merely lecture someone without ensuring their understanding of a topic. I am very passionate about teaching children because I believe that through the correct supervision and hard work, you can reach your full potential to succeed in examinations.

Mr Mark Carver (qualified teacher)
Subject: Entrance Exams
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home / Online

About Mark:
I'm a fully qualified English teacher now working as a professional tutor in the Lancaster and Morecambe area. That means you get tailored lessons designed specifically for one-to-one tuition, rather than adapted school lessons. I believe that good tuition should do all the things school cannot do, my approach is about building lifelong skills rather than "catching up" on content. One hour per week for a few weeks is usually all it takes to put most students back on track. After that, your ambition is the only limit!

Teaching Experience:
I have taught in schools around Lancashire, Cumbria and West Yorkshire but now work exclusively as a private tutor.

Tutoring Approach:
It isn't about just being better, it's about being different too - private tuition offers opportunities to learn in ways that even private schools are unable to offer.
All resources are provided free of charge, including use of an extensive library of workbooks and study guides. I am an expert at exam preparation and have a five year back catalogue of exam papers and mark schemes from all major exam boards. As I also mark GCSE English papers for Edexcel, this is another perspective I can offer students.
Qualifications:
English Education degree (2.1).
Qualified Teacher Status and enhanced CRB clearance.
Certificate in Teaching English as a Foreign Language.
A-levels in English, Mathematics, Politics, and General Studies.
I am also currently working towards a Masters Degree in Educational Research at Lancaster University.

Extra services:
English at KS3, GCSE, A-level, degree, foreign language.
Other subjects: Maths at KS3 and GCSE.
Proofreading of coursework/essays.
Learn with a friend from just 12, cut the cost and increase the fun!
Excluded from school? Not a problem! I can even enter you for GCSE exams personally.
Illness/injury keeping you away from school? I can come to you, and even help in a range of subjects.
"Crash course" and trouble-shooting exam preparation if you've left it to the last minute; make sure you don't throw away those easy marks!
Tuition can be provided in a converted room at my house in Lancaster, or I can come to you at no extra cost.

Miss Priyanka Handa
Subject: Entrance Exams
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home / Online

About Priyanka:
I am currently a student at the London School of Economics and
Political Sciences (LSE) pursuing a Masters degree in Social
Psychology and Education, focusing on Education in developing
countries. My dissertation is to be based on a variety of teaching
methods employed in Latin American and the UK known as the Creative
Values Partnership project. Additionally, I am working on a curriculum
with UNICEF and the British Council based on an 'International
Education' for children in British Primary Schools.

Teaching Experience:
My undergraduate degree was obtained from King's College London, where
I studied BA English Language and Communication. As a consequence of
my budding interest in teaching, I opted to study modules based on
language teaching during my degree. I completed an EFL course at
King's College London with a Merit (details of which can be found
below). I spent this summer teaching English as a Foreign Language to children aged 11-18 at GEOS Academy in Ealing and have extensive experience in other fields of teaching and education. I have tutored many children on a one-to-one basis as well as given
conversation classes to adults with English as a foreign language.

Tutoring Approach:
I am extremely passionate about teaching, believe in a variety of
methods and most importantly in creativity and fun while maintaining a
strong sense of effective learning. I have a natural, comfortable
and friendly rapport with students and as a result a
strong relationship of trust and confidence is established, enabling
shared goals and objectives to be achieved.

Mrs Naoimh Johnson
Subject: Entrance Exams
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home

About Naoimh:
I am 26 years old and recently married. I live in Haslemere with my husband and two cats.

I am a friendly and outgoing person. I like to exercise and recently run the London Marathon and a triathlon. In my spare time I like to cook and enjoy arts and crafts.

Teaching Experience:
I have recently achieved a PGCE qualification in Primary Teaching from London South Bank University and in 2003 I graduated from UWIC with a 2:1 BSc (Hons) degree in Sports Development. After completing the BSc I spent three years working in the sports marketing industry.

I am experienced at teaching all primary levels (Foundation, Key stage 1 and 2) but have specialised in helping Year 6 pupils with sitting SATs exams and entrance exams in to senior school.

Tutoring Approach:
I like to take a diagnostic approach with the children and discuss what they would like to achieve from their tutoring sessions. In addition, I believe that parents play a key role in a child's education and like to involve parents and keep them informed in their child's development and progress.

My priority is to create a comfortable environment for the child to learn, with my friendly approach and teaching style I can achieve the best results with each child. I like to make the session interactive and fun and often incorporate ICT to keep the lessons compelling and stimulating for the child..

I particularly like to teach the children strategies for learning that best suit their learning styles. This enables them to manage and take control of their own learning.

I am happy to tutor from your home or my home wherever is best environment for the child to learn.

Miss Jodie Pennacchia
Subject: Entrance Exams
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home / Online

About Jodie:
I am a 22 year old female currently studying for a Masters in Social Policy at The London School of Economics. I am friendly, engaging and used to working with, and teaching, students from all social backgrounds and ethnicities. I am passionate about teaching and the education system and I have been tutoring privately since leaving Oxford University in June 2007.

I am flexible about working hours but I would prefer to teach within 30 minutes travel time from my home in South London.

Teaching Experience:
English Language and Literature - I have a degree from The University of Oxford in English Language and Literature. I also completed a full a-level in each subject separately, and I am therefore happy to teach either at any level. I currently teach one student for A-level English Literature and one student for GCSE English and, over the past year, I have helped 5 more students with exam preparation and coursework for GCSE and A-level English Literature.
I have also been working for a Not-for-profit company that provides educational provisions for students that have been expelled from mainstream school. Through this work I have become very familiar with The AQA GCSE English syllabus, and working with students who have emotional, behavioural and learning difficulties.

Maths - I have been teaching key stage two maths privately since November 2007 and I am up-to-date with the curriculum and preparation needed for Key Stage Two SATS examinations.

Sociology - I have an A-Grade a-level in this subject and I am undertaking a sociological/political masters. I am happy to teach this subject up to a-level.

Entry Exams - This year I have also worked for Insight Education - a company which helps to prepare students for Oxbridge applications. I am very familiar with the Oxbridge application process for all subjects, and I am also preparing two students specifically for Oxbridge entrance for English Language and Literature. I am happy to advise on this.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to tutoring is very much dependant on the student. I believe that different people are suited to different learning styles and therefore I always take the first couple of sessions to assess how a student likes to work and what their difficulties might be.

I like to set 'homework' tasks - even if they are very short - to encourage the student to develop the skills they are learning in their own time. I am happy to mark additional work and essays in my spare time and to e-mail students with any advice or feedback that they may require whilst working on a particular assignment.
