Information About Alan:

Personal Description:

I have been a practicing Christian all my life and studied A-level RE at school. I have had varied experiences in life, as a theology student I spent three months living in Singapore, I have also spent three years in Germany as a forces chaplain and have run a number of churches. At present I work part-time with the chaplaincy team at the nearest RAF base and I am a tour guide for the National trust at Mount stewart. I studied for the ministry at Trinity College Dublin and enjoy teaching others at all levels and helping them to come to terms with the conundrums of Religious studies.

Teaching Experience:

I have taught religious education in primary school to P5--P7 as well as in the church setting. During my time as a chaplain I have instructed service personell on practical ethics. As a depot chaplain I designed my own curriculum to help new recruits to come to terms with the idea of ethical soldiering and the Law of Armed Conflict. I have helped individual friends studying for GCSE and A-Level RE to good effect. Teaching is integral to my 20 years experience as a pastoral minister and the strongest area of my ministry. I am particularly talented at communicating complex ideas in an understandable way.

Tutoring Approach:

First to help students to identify and focus on the relevent material in the course curriculum.
Second to help them find and use source material, ie books and websites.
Third to encourage them to understand and apply what they are reading.

I am an excellent listener and communicator.
