Information About Paul:

Personal Description:

I am 57 years old and have just retired from full time teaching after 33 years. I live in Eastbourne in East Sussex. Despite retirement I wish to continue teaching but on a one to one basis rather than in a school or college environment. Apart from teaching experience I also have experience as an examiner in GCSE and A Level English. Initially I taught social sciences but for the last 18 years I have taught English, both Language and Literature as well as Basic Literacy. I have a BA (Hons.), a Masters and a Doctorate as well as a teaching qualification.

Teaching Experience:

- 11-16 comprehensive school
- two different sixth form colleges
- two different colleges of further education
- Open University

Tutoring Approach:

My approach to tutoring is based on a clear undertstanding of the particular needs of the student. This is based on a thorough discussion with parents and some initial diagnostic work. Each session will define skills and or knowledge the student is aspiring to in that session. A very short, usually verbal, assessment will take place at the end of the session. Each session will begin with a revision of previous work. A proper programme, with targets, will be agreed with parents and student beforehand. I have a relaxed and friendly approach to teaching whilst ensuring that all allotted time is used purposefully.

Qualifications:

• PGCE
• BA (Hons.) 2/2 Government
• MA English Literature
• PH.d in Modern History
