Philip - Islington tutor






Information About Philip:


Personal Description:

I am 43 and an ex BBC Education Senior Producer where I was responsible for developing teaching and learning materials for TV, radio and the web. I have worked with schools, subject specialists, curriculum consultants and government departments responsible for education. My main projects were BBC Bitesize and the BBC Digital Curriculum, BBC JAM.

I have a undergraduate Honours degree from the University of Oxford and an MPhil Research degree from the University of Glasgow



Teaching Experience:

Before joining the BBC I was a Lecturer in English and Media at Stow College and a tutor in the Dept of English Literature at Glasgow University. Prior to that I taught in a number of Sixth-Form Colleges in London, including Davies, Laing & Dick, Campbell Harris, Ashbourne and Collingham.



Tutoring Approach:

Young people have many different reasons for needing extra tutoring. But they generally fall in one of two areas:

- need to catch up
- want to excel

The first step I take is to agree with the student what their goals are. Then we agree how we will collaborate to achieve this based on their learning style. This encourages the student to take responsibility, which means they are setting their own challenges and are more motivated. I will continually assess student's progress and monitor that against their targets, setting them realistic deadlines for all work.
