Information About Graham:

Personal Description:

I teach Philosophy, Critical Thinking and English, including reading and writing skills. I can also teach the philosophy and ethics papers for A Level Religious Studies. I teach part-time and do research in the Philosophy of Education at London University. I have written several coursebooks (published by OUP). I have been an Examiner for A Level Philosophy (AQA) and for AS Level Critical Thinking. I live in Bristol (near the Downs) and am married, with two grown-up sons.

Teaching Experience:

I was for many years Head of the English Faculty in a comprehensive school. I have also taught Philosophy in Adult Education classes. I now work part-time (teaching Philosophy, Critical Thinking and English) whilst researching and tutoring at London University. As an experienced sixth form tutor, I can offer advice on university applications and university interview practice.

Tutoring Approach:

I will start by establishing what the student already knows and understands. Understanding will be carefully monitored throughout. Help will be given with essay writing and exam technique. Essays and practice exam answers will be marked and annotated in detail, using the exam board mark schemes. Lessons will normally be informal and discussion-based rather than lectures, and will often be backed by a handout or on-line resource. I am an experienced, good-humoured, professional teacher.

Qualifications:

• BA Hons. in Philosophy. York University.
• PGCE (Distinction). London University.
• MA (Distinction). Open University.
• Currently researching for PhD in Philosophy of Education.
