Mike - Preston tutor






Information About Mike:


Personal Description:

I am a retired teacher with 30 years experience. I have been tutoring since my retirement.



Teaching Experience:

I have taught maths at all levels up to A-level in a variety of secondary schools and also as a part time lecturer in a tertiary college. I did a little private tuition when I was a full time teacher, but took on more once I had retired. So far all of my students have attained at least the grades they sought.



Tutoring Approach:

I prefer to approach tutoring in a fairly relaxed way and appreciate that many of my students come to me because they are not getting the help they need in school. Successful tutoring is about building confidence and this is best achieved in a fairly informal setting.

At the same time students, and their parents, expect value for money, and my tutor sessions are carefully planned and well structured with plenty of back up and practice material.

My experience as a GCSE teacher of long standing enables me give students valuable insight into what examiners are looking for and to provide them with invaluable advice on exam technique.
