Julian - Belfast tutor






Information About Julian:


Personal Description:

My name is Julian Waterfield and I have been teaching Religious Studies for a number of years in England, teaching pupils from 11-18 as well as some work in primary schools. I'm new to Belfast, but don't worry - the English and NI systems are very similar!

I've also got tutoring experience in intensive Easter revision courses as well as being an examiner at A-level (see below for more details). Married, with no children and three cats, I live in East Belfast.



Teaching Experience:

Head of department in secondary schools near Oxford and in Durham, teaching 11-18s from 2003-2008.

Senior examiner for Philosophy of Religion at A-level, marking a range of AS and A2 papers.

Regular Easter revision tutor with a major tuition company, providing intensive support for AS and A2 level students in all major papers within the subject (Philosophy, Ethics, Old and New Testaments, World Religions, Church History and so on...).



Tutoring Approach:

The most important thing is to assess your needs before making a decision about what to do and how to approach things. I support a skills-based approach rather than what simply amounts to memorising without understanding. I prefer working with individuals or small groups than larger groups when it comes to tutoring.

I can support what is being done in school or provide 'from scratch' tuition prior to exams.

I am happy to support online or else to tutor at my home (East Belfast) or yours. Please note that a mileage surcharge applies if I have to travel over 5 miles.

If you are a university-level or mature student, please feel free to contact me to discuss your needs before tying yourself in to paying out money!
