Tutoring Approach:

I have a number of teaching methods (theory and practical) which include printed material, books, online resources and homework. I also have the latest Apple Mac and Windows 8 touchscreen laptops to aid study. After discussing my students` exact requirements I tailor the approach to suit their preferred way of learning. I tutor either from my flat located next to Hayes and Harlington railway station, travel up to 20 miles to my students or tutor online.

I am passionate about tutoring and helping my students reach their full potential, providing the support they need to achieve their goals. Barriers such as age and ability do not exist in my world and all I request is that students can devote some time to focus on what they are learning, practice makes perfect!
