Mr Alexander Woods

About Alexander:
I am a university graduate, having studied Biology and History at degree level.
I currently work in skills and qualifications development and am taking a PGCE in 2009/10.
I am experienced, professional, and can cater to the specific needs of the pupil.

Teaching Experience:
I have been involved in teaching and educational support for children and the disabled to varying degrees for around 10 years.
This experience has included running after school classes, drama and music workshops, providing teaching assistance at science clubs, and teaching music.
I have worked for GCSE revision courses, university taster days and "Summer University" summer schemes with the Centre for Widening Participation and Social Inclusion at the University of Wales. I am also a qualified sports coach.

Tutoring Approach:
Whether you require exam revision, catch-up lessons, or simply struggling with the subject, your tuition sessions will be tailored to meet your needs. Every pupil learns in their own way and your tuition will be structured and reviewed to ensure that you achieve the most from it.

The frequency and number of sessions required will depend on your specific needs. I can commit to ensuring you get sufficient and regular sessions to prepare you fully.

On line tuition may be offered if appropriate. I prefer to tutor at the pupil's home but exceptions can be made in some circumstances.

As well as looking at the course material as laid out in the curriculum, I shall help you to ensure that your style of writing and presentation are to the necessary standard. I can offer assistance with spelling and vocabulary, as well as revision and exam techniques.

Teaching Experience:
We are all CRB checked. Each of us have over 20 years experience of working in avariety of state and independant primary and secondary schools and colleges of post 16 education.

Mr David Hughes

Subject: History
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home

About David:
I am 56, recently retired from full-time teaching, but without having lost any of my enthusiasm for the individual learner. I am particularly interested in the overlap between Literature and History - and most of all in the History and Literature of the Great War, in which I have a brief record of publication. I write poetry and short stories.

Teaching Experience:
St Peter's School, York YO30 6AB
- 29 years teaching English Language and English Literature from 13 - 18 / GCSE and A-level
- regular experience guiding Geography and History field trips - locally, and to Iceland, Norway, and the battlefields of the Western Front

Tutoring Approach:
relaxed, but dermined at the same time; I try hard to build on the pupil's and my own personal enthusiasms, while setting high standards of learning. I aim to use a variety of stimuli from a variety of sources, so the style is varied.

Mr Neil Cumming

Subject: History
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / Online

About Neil:
I am a second year language student at the University of Bristol, looking to tutor in French and Russian. I can provide a wide range of different services, from intensive grammar revision to simple conversation. I am also able to provide tuition in the study of English (and foreign) Literature and History up to A-Level, and having recently sat these exams I am aware of what exam boards expect.

Teaching Experience:
I have experience offering Russian taster workshops in primary schools, and teach French at afterschool clubs in the Bristol area.

Tutoring Approach:
I am happy to adapt my tutoring style depending on age and need. With languages especially it is important to ascertain why you want to learn; are you studying for a particular exam or is fluency your goal? Do you find it easier to focus on grammar, letting the rest fall into place around it, or would you prefer practical tuition based on real life situations and media? All this can be discussed and set out at the beginning of our arrangement.

Miss Sofia Qadir

Subject: History
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / Online

About Sofia:
I am currently experienced in Science, English and History predominantly, and am fluent in 3 languages, with a basic knowledge of some European languages.

I have also been involved in setting up a Limited Company which aims to provide academic resources to students in Higher Education (at University level).

Teaching Experience:
I have 2 years experience, delivering 1-2-1 tuition to students ranging across KS1-4, and ages 6-16, teaching mostly Science to GCSE Level, Maths to KS3 and English + History + ICT to A Level.

For those interested in Business Studies, or how to set up your own business, I can offer lessons on these topics as well, including topics on where to go to get your funding, and how to market yourself effectively (including networking) etc.

I have also taught SEN children (with dyslexia and autism), up to KS2, covering English and Mathematics with these students.

Below is a more complete and comprehensive list of subjects which I am able to teach. All subjects can be taught from primary level, up to the level specified, and can also be taught as Adult Learning classes - unless otherwise stated.

Biology - A Level
Business Related - All
Chemistry - GCSE
Citizenship - All
Combined Science - GCSE

GCSE - 14
A Level - 14
University - 16
Adults - 18

Tutoring Approach:
I always aim to follow the National Curriculum, without making each lesson feel like more schoolwork. We can approach lessons in different ways.

i.e. We can do mini-projects which incorporate a range of subjects to enhance your overall learning experience, while improving skills such as organisation, essay-writing, note-taking, observation etc.

OR

We can have set lessons focusing on topics mentioned by the student, that need improving. For example, analysis of a book/text in English, improving History knowledge etc.

Generally the first hour for every student is where we develop a working plan that works for both parties, and so everyone knows what to expect. I am very laid back and flexible about things, so if there's ever a need to deviate from the plan, then that's not a problem. I'm also very open to questions. One-to-one tuition is all about being able to talk to your tutor and ask the questions you may not be able to in school. Therefore, lessons are always informal, and as long as we get our set work done, we can have a chat about anything else that may be concerning you in school/college/work or life!

As a final note, after evaluating each students specific needs, we will agree on the number of hours we will work together, and what pattern they will follow.

For example:

Normally people opt for 1hr per week

Closer to exams you can have a series of intensive lessons - i.e. 2-3hrs per week all at once or spaced out over 3 days.

Some people need a quick crash course to prepare them for an assessment, or to complete an assignment that they need help with. In these instances we can develop an intensive program ranging from 1 full day to Xhr(s) per day leading up to your deadline.

I understand this may all seem very long-winded, but hopefully you can understand my working ethos and will want to enquire further to see what I can do for you. I look forward to hearing from you soon.

R.E. A CRB check - This will hopefully be forthcoming soon as I am awaiting a response from the company to be handling the check.

Miss Mariam Seddon

Subject: History
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you

About Mariam:
I recently graduated from the University of Liverpool with a high 2:1 in Politics and Philosophy and am currently living and working in Brighton in order to fund a PGCE which I intend to start at the beginning of the next academic year.
When I was 12 I won an academic scholarship to a prestigious private school in Oxfordshire, and went on to achieve 4 A* grades, 4 A grades and 2 B grades at GCSE as well as good A'level results in English Literature, French and History.

Teaching Experience:
I have had previous experience teaching Spanish pupils English as a foreign language and coaching pupils for both the 11+ and 13+ common entrance examinations.

I have materials for various different examination boards for Maths, English Language, English Literature and History GCSE.

Tutoring Approach:
I think that each individual tutee requires a different approach but these individually tutored needs can still be set effectively around a core syllabus. With regards to coaching for entrance examinations, as well as exams such as SATS and GCSE's, I believe that the more at ease you are with the examination situation, the easier it is to achieve your best in the final examination. Therefore, i think that it is important to use past papers in order for the tutee to become familiar with the type of questions which will appear, as well as identifying any consistent mistakes.

Miss sofia bouzidi

Subject: History
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / Online

About sofia:
I am an active person who has a lot of energy and a lot of patience for young people. I'm quite creative and have worked as an actress, dancer and puppeteer in the past which helps me a great deal in the classroom sometimes. I am keen to expand my knowledge and hope to study for a Master in International Relations this year.

Teaching Experience:
I have a year of solid teaching experience from a college in London; London Brookes College. I was effectively put in charge of history and sociology. I tutored one to one and small groups. I familiarised myself with a number of syllabuses but am confident to teach Ed Excel History and AQA sociology. In English i tutored and acted as a classroom assistant in large GCSE groups. I have built up mu confidence through this year and am happy in most teacher student situations now.

Tutoring Approach:
I am a very friendly person and like to think that i make the student feel comfortable. I believe in coming down to the students level to make them feel secure and not inhibited by their lack of knowledge. I enjoy discussions and finding out how each individual learns best and then working to their needs.

Miss Charlotte Potter

Subject: History
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you

About Charlotte:
I am 26 years old and graduated from Oxford University 4 years ago with a First Class Honours degree in Ancient and Modern History. Since graduation I have worked for two charities in front line support roles and as a manager. I love my job and making a difference to people who are homeless and destitute, but I'm also passionate about history and literature, and about education. I want to support students to really enjoy their subjects and to succeed academically. I am very friendly and supportive and understand the pressures that exams and study can bring. I appreciate the investment of time and money that students and their parents make when engaging a tutor, and I want to make each session as enjoyable and valuable as I can.

Teaching Experience:
I have carried out a number of work experience and volunteer placements within schools however I don't have any direct teaching experience. As a result I am happy to negotiate low initial rates for my first tutees.

Tutoring Approach:
In discussion with the student and parents, I will devise a tutorial plan which focuses on the key areas identified as needing development. My approach draws heavily on the methods used within the Oxbridge tutorial system and has two main aims: to help the students develop practical study and exam skills, and to develop their knowledge, understanding and enthusiasm about the subject. I aim to consolidate and complement the student's school curriculum by offering one-to-one support with problem areas, but also encouraging the student to stretch themselves and work at a higher level.

Tutorials may include:
Reviewing, revising and consolidating material learnt at school
Building confidence in arguing a point verbally and in writing
Opening up new perspectives on a topic together through provision of additional reading matter and discussion.
Essay writing and exam practice with detailed criticism and attention to style, structure and arguments used.

Do email or call me to discuss as I am happy to recieve queries and to discuss individual needs. Within London Zones 1-3 I can usually travel to your home to provide tuition.

Mr Sean Joyce

Subject: History
Availability: Weekdays (evenings)
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you

About Sean:
I am a qualified teacher and current Head of Sociology in a high performing North London secondary school. I have a real passion for teaching the social sciences and humanities, a passion that is very much brought to the classroom and tutoring sessions on a daily basis.

I am an approachable yet focused and committed individual who truly enjoys sharing in the successes and development of others. I am a patient and empathic person, who truly seeks to understand the learning needs of each individual.

Personal interests include rock climbing, surfing, running and playing bass guitar.

Teaching Experience:
I have a number of years experience teaching Sociology and History in London schools, where my students have consistently achieved results well above their predicted grades.

I also have experience teaching English as a Foreign Language, both in London and abroad.

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to tutoring is through ensuring a personalisation of the learning experience. Each student's needs and expectations from tutoring will naturally be different, and my job is to help identify, and cater to, those individual needs.

I endeavour to create a safe, supportive, but challenging learning environment, particularly focusing on the development of the learning skills needed to be successful both in life and in an exam environment.

Above all, I try to make tutoring sessions fun and enjoyable, scaffolding concepts and theories around the everyday experiences of young people today, in order to create those connections which guarantee both short- and long-term learning.

Ms Rebecca Baxter

Subject: History
Availability: Weekends / Weekdays
Types of Tutoring: Travels to you / From their home / Online

About Rebecca:
I am a Drama and English Graduate from Cambridge University, and have taught at Secondary level since graduating. I am passionate for both my subjects (which is important when teaching!) and have explored them through both academic and practical routes; I write and direct, as well as read and teach. Although I'm very confident with most literature and drama, I particularly love Shakespeare, 20th Century prose and Modern Drama since 1900.

During my degree I also studied Film, and I continue to study History.

Teaching Experience:
I have taught at Secondary level in the Private sector for two years, and in that time taught Drama from Key Stage 3 up to A Level. I have tutored English privately, and during my time at University I also taught writing skills.

I studied Education during my degree, and have a sound understanding of the process of teaching, and learning.

Qualifications:
9 GCSEs, all at A* and A; 3 A levels in English Literature, History and Theatre Studies, all at A; Drama And English BA from Cambridge University, 2:1.

Tutoring Approach:
I believe the most important element in learning is confidence, and I focus on developing and nurturing this in my tutees. Although a patient and relaxed tutor, I strive for understanding and excellence from my pupils - as well as enjoyment! Style of learning is entirely focused upon the individual student, and can vary from very aural based discussion, to activities, visual or practical learning.

Before getting started, I would hope to have a chat with the tutee and their guardian about what they would like to focus on, which areas need developing and, most importantly, how they feel they learn best. Once we've established this, we can work on a tutoring programme that fits!
