Information About Keith:

Personal Description:

I have 35 years business experience with an IT management background and 12 years teaching experience in IT and accounting. I built up my own business selling IT software services. I ran an IT training company specialising in database software for 3 years. I have a first degree in government and economics and an MA in open and distance learning. I am a fully qualified teacher and I have an accounting qualification.

I have a good practical knowledge in business management ,financial management and use of IT.

Teaching Experience:

I worked as a lecturer for an IT training services company. I eventually took over the creation and management of courses. I also built seminars and arranged conferences. Eventually I took over as MD. I left to form my own IT business specialising in IT education.

After retiring from business in 1999, I took an MA in Distance Learning with the Open University,(OU), and also became a tutor in IT courses for the OU. In 2001 I qualified as a teacher by gaining my PGCE, (teaching diploma). I taught for 3 years in a comprehensive school teaching ICT to 11-18 year old. I worked for 9 years in a sixth form/FE college teaching ICT and Accounting. From 2008 I have taught the AAT qualification mainly at level 3 and 4.

Tutoring Approach:

I believe it is important to establish my student's requirements and identify what is achievable as early as possible. I would build up an understanding of his/her existing knowledge,experience, learning styles and skills and then with the student and in same cases with the parent/s, agree a study schedule and learning plan specifying dates times for the student to attend tutorials and work in their own time. A lot will depend on the student who will be expected to do a lot of the work on their own. Tutorials will be regular and include elements of telephone and if possible online support . The emphasis will be on support and guidance and management of achievable targets.

Qualifications:

• BA(Econ) (Manchester) Government Economics and Finance (1969)
• Dip AF Accounting (1980)
• MA (Open) open and distance learning (2000)
• PGCE (Brunel) (2001) Full qualified teacher status (QTS)
