Information About Philip:

Personal Description:

My personal and vocational interests are varied and range from gardening to international politics. I have a passion for reading and culture, making me informed and knowledgeable in a wide variety of subjects. While I currently work as a part-time teacher and journalist, I have held many positions of varying responsibility. Throughout these professional experiences, I have been engaged in some form of teaching or training and have taught a wide diversity of people in a range of subjects.

Teaching Experience:

Having been a gardener for many years, the first subject I taught was gardening and landscaping, which was for long-term unemployed people who were working on environmental regeneration projects. Since then, I have taught in various colleges and for many charities and training providers. My teaching qualification is in adult education, but I have experience working with young people, as well as excluded pupils and (ex-)offenders. My teaching has usually been in Media- or English-related subjects, but I have also taught Critical Thinking, Sociology and Film Studies, to name but a few. Having been a professional journalist and graphic designer, I can also provide practical training in all design and DTP software.

Tutoring Approach:

My main aim is to ensure that tutor and tutee respect each other and are able to talk to each other properly. While passing exams is important, creating a space in which ideas and thoughts can be shared is also necessary to assist with the learning process. Being a qualified teacher, I am able to assist you in your educational development. As a person, I am able to help you and ensure that you get more out of the experience than just a piece of paper.

Qualifications:

• BA (Hons) Literature and Philosophy
• PGDipPCET (gained QTLS status in 2012)
• D32/33 Assessor's Award
• MOS Master and various other IT awards.
