St Annes Tutors & St Annes Tuition

Personal Description:
I'm a French native speaker with over 15 years tutoring experience.

Teaching Experience:
I currently teach adults from beginners to advanced and prepare local students for their GCSE, IGCSE or A-levels. I have students attending a variety of schools among which City of London Freemen's, The Glyn, Roseberry, Epsom College, Tiffin Girls, Kingston Grammar, The London Oratory, Coombe Girls, Wilson's school for boys, Guildford high for girls, etc...
I have experience with all the different examination boards (AQA, OCR, Edexcel...)

I currently offer online tuition only while the Coronavirus is at large and use Google Drive and online Video tools such as Skype or Zoom.

In 2019 all my GCSE and IGCSE students got a 9 and A's or distinctions for their A-levels.

I also offer lessons to businesses but please contact me for specific pricing.

Tutoring Approach:
I adapt my teaching methods to the needs of the tutee: adults learn differently from teenagers, one is focused on conversation while the others are quite honestly more focused on passing an exam ;)
I'll try to follow as much as possible what is done in the classroom if the child already has French at school. Otherwise, I'll adapt my lessons to what the parents are expecting from me (whether the child's parents are French and would like their child to discover French litterature for example). I can also create lessons for a special objectives like spending holidays in France with friends and family we'll then concentrate on specific vocabulary and situations.
For adults: there again it all depends what you expect from those lessons. Do you already have some prior knowledge of the language or not? Do you have some specific objectives like buying a house in France or spending your holidays there? I'll adapt to your needs. We may most likely concentrate on vocabulary and situations and include grammar in as we go along.

Personal Description:
QTS
I am a qualified teacher with over 22 years teaching experience. Initially this was KS2 focused teaching the full curriculum on an employed basis in school. In the last 12 years I have concentrated on tutoring Maths and English KS2, and KS3 - KS5 Maths including Entry Level 3 Maths, Functional Skills Level 1 and 2 Maths and GCSE Foundation Level Maths up to and including Grade 5.

Private Tuition 15+ years
Tutoring pupils after school in their own home in Maths and English (KS2), Verbal and Non Verbal Reasoning in preparation for the 11+ exam and GCSE Foundation Level Maths.

Tutoring in School
After leaving full time teaching, I have worked in quite a number of different Primary Schools tutoring pupils who have fallen behind with their Maths or English studies. This has been both on a 121 basis as well as tutoring small groups of pupils.
A recent block of work in school involved working four days per week at a local Primary School in Crawley from January to the end of May. Not only did I work with pupils on a 121 basis but also in a small group setting assisting them with Maths and English, I also took a large group of pupils from Year 6 every morning to help prepare them for their SATS papers. During this time, I worked with pupils from each of the eight classes within the KS2 section of the school preparing all of my own lessons based on the work each teacher asked me to focus on with the pupils.

Since March 2026 I have worked in a local secondary school in Horsham tutoring Year 11 pupils on the spectrum for autism for Entry Level 3 Maths, Functional Skills Level 1 and 2 Maths and GCSE Foundation Maths up to and including Grade 5. All of this work has been in preparation towards their exams.
Due to the work completed in the school since March, I have been asked to continue tutoring Maths in the school in September with both year 10 and Year 11 pupils tutoring six sessions per week on a 1:1 basis.

Working with pupils who are not in school
During the last 12 years I have also worked with pupils who for a variety of reasons, are not in full time education. This has been anything from two to three hours per day varying between one day per week to four days per week. Although the age of the pupils has been between 7 to 16 years, they have all been within the KS2 bracket of learning for Maths and English. This work has normally taken place at the pupils care home, in their foster parents home or occasionally, in their own home.

Present Private Tutoring Work
I have just finished working with a Year 4 pupil tutoring him 1 hour per week for Maths and I am presently tutoring a Year 6 pupil in Maths for two hours per week. The family have asked me to continue tutoring in September when their son goes into secondary in school in order to enable him to gain a good grade in GCSE Maths. I am also tutoring a year 10/11 student for GCSE Foundation Maths one hour per week.

Teaching Experience:
Over 15 years private tutoring experience tutoring pupils of a wide range of ability in their own homes after school. This has included assisting children both with their Maths and English KS2.
I also tutor Maths GCSE Foundation Level for Years 7 - 11.

Tutoring Approach:
My tutoring style is to concentrate on building pupils confidence through use of encouragement and praise. During the initial lessons my intention is to quickly discover gaps in the pupils understanding as well as gaining insight into the most appropriate teaching methods that are likely to be effective. With this understanding I build an appropriate programme of work in order to deal with the gaps and the weak areas of understanding.

Personal Description:
I am a 34 year old Post doctoral researcher in the field of endocrinology.

My undergraduate degree (2010) was in Biology from Imperial College, London, where I continued to study to Masters level (2011) in Reproductive and Developmental Biology. between 2013-2016 I completed my PhD in reproductive endocrinology. therefore my knowledge of biology spans multiple subject areas.

I have A-levels in Biology, Physics, Maths and History and a keen interest in all of these subjects.

Having completed my PhD and fulfilled 3 post-doctoral research positions, I feel I have gained experience in the skills required at all levels of education to progress and succeed and would really like to help others to realise their academic talents and to succeed in their education.

Teaching Experience:
I am currently training for my postgraduate certificate of academic practice, for lecturing and small group teaching at undergraduate level.

I have been tutoring privately for the past 6 years and have successfully guided GCSE and A-Level students to achieve their goals, gaining further jobs through recommendation.

Throughout my career, I have been responsible for overseeing and training undergraduate students in the laboratory and ensuring they have a key understanding of protocols, the biology behind them and how to use this knowledge to work out problems for themselves. This also involves mathematics skills, such as fractions, dilutions and molar concentrations, as well as helping them with any biology questions they may have outside of the lab. I provide feedback on presentation skills and on key learning skills required at degree level.

I have also had experience teaching students at A-level stage, in a two part workshop surrounding the biology of genetics. A key component of this is helping them to understand a totally new subject and to answer any questions they have surrounding university applications, study skills and personal statements.

I like to think this broad range of experience has taught me to interact with students of various ages and to recognise learning approaches that work best for different individuals.

Tutoring Approach:
The most important thing to consider is a student's personal requirements and to find a learning style that works for them. People learn in different ways so to teach in a style that maintains interest and works for the individual student is really important to me.

a goal based approach is important in my eyes. to understand what need to be learnt, by when and to work through a strategic plan to achieve the best results for the student.

Personal Description:
I have two degrees in history, my master's being on American and Scottish literature.
I lived for eight years in Spain and am now a Spanish to English translator.

Teaching Experience:
Nine years' experience tutoring children and adults in both Spain and Scotland, including one-to-one tuition, teaching in primary and secondary schools, adult learners and some university teaching in Edinburgh.

Several schoolchildren went on to study English at university

Tutoring Approach:
I believe that trying to establish a sincere interest in the subject is the best way to have a student make substantial progress. I expect students to have high standards with their work.

Personal Description:
In 2025, I completed a PhD at the University of St. Andrews. In December 2026, I will publish an 100,000 word research monograph, John Clare's Modern Eco-Poetic Legacy in English, with Routledge.

I can teach English National 5, GCSE, A Level and University level.

I am a highly intelligent (Oxford-educated), extremely passionate, and endlessly empathetic tutor. I have been tutoring for three years and I guarantee that you will not regret working with me. I can push anyone up several grade points with my deep commitment to teaching and education.

I used to work in Wakefield as an English teacher but I left because of my desire to focus on tutoring and writing. At the school, I was a highly valued colleague who ran three after-school clubs: a BSL Club, a Playscript Club and a Debating Team.

I have a First Class Honours degree in English Literature (with a lot of French) from the University of York and a Masters' degree in Nineteenth Century Literature from St. Benet's Hall, University of Oxford. I am also a journalist writing for The Guardian, Catholic Herald and The Tablet. I also write creatively - my poems have won contests and appeared in publications such as Amethyst Review, Ink, Sweat & Tears and Ancient Paths. I have a blog, Squidditas, which showcases my writing skills, reinforcing the huge amount I have to offer as an English, French, History and R.S. tutor.

Previously I worked in care and I worked for a homeless shelter in North London, meaning I have a high level of empathy and a highly "person-centred" response to tutoring. I also worked for the University of York in the Disability Service, where I helped disabled students with their academic needs.

Teaching Experience:
I have seven years of experience of tutoring children from 11 to adults. I used to work as an English teacher in Wakefield.

I have mentored disabled students in the University of York and have tutored many people privately before, as well as worked in schools on projects discussing homelessness.

Tutoring Approach:
I do not believe in tutoring people mechanically or with a 'one-size-fits-all' approach. I believe in a truly mutual approach where we work together to understand each topic. I am firm and will do everything I can to ensure I can pass on my knowledge.

I am able to offer a concession of £20. This is only for first-generation migrants, who I have a strong commitment to supporting. If you are not a first-generation migrant, please do not try to barter with me as I am already charging a very low rate for my services given my experience and education. I can absolutely guarantee you will not find such good value for money in terms of commitment, passion and the level I am able to teach at (as well as the range of topics I am able to teach.)

Personal Description:
Build understanding, transform grades! Qualified Teacher & 1st Class Maths Specialist | Former Head of Maths providing Expert Maths education at KS3, GCSE and A-level (15+ yrs experience).

If you're looking for tuition that is focused, effective, and grounded in years of successful classroom leadership and results, I would be delighted to help. Many families' reviews reflect the positive impact of this approach, with all 5 star reviews across multiple platforms.

A recent review:

"Chris has tutored both of my children at GCSE and A level and I cannot recommend him highly enough. After moving from Canada we discovered there were significant gaps in their understanding of math due to the different curriculum and methodologies. Under Chris' tutelage both of my children have gained in confidence and were able to achieve amazing results. My youngest son's success at GCSE was such that the head of his Math's department said he had never had another student make such progress (he went from a grade 6/7 to a 9 in Maths and a 4/5 to an 8 in Further Maths). Chris has continued to teach him during A levels and he just achieved an A in his mock exam."

Teaching Experience:
Throughout my career, I've supported students across the full ability range, from building confidence at KS3 to helping students secure Grade 4 or Grade 9 at GCSE, and enabling high achievers to earn an A* in A-level Further Maths. I've taught and led Maths, Further Maths, and Statistics across KS3, GCSE, and A-level, giving me both deep subject expertise and a clear understanding of how to teach complex ideas effectively to every learner.
My experience as Head of Maths reflects more than subject mastery; it demonstrates a secure understanding of the curriculum and exam requirements across a range of courses. I know how to make learning efficient, targeted, and purposeful. I tailor each lesson to the student's starting point and use a broad range of high-quality resources to ensure the time is productive.

Over the years, I've taken on a range of Teaching and Learning responsibilities, including roles such as Head of Maths, Head of House, and Intervention Lead. These experiences have given me a strong, whole-school perspective on how students learn across different classes and year groups, as well as deep insight into how individuals and small groups develop mathematically.

Tutoring Approach:
I believe that true mathematical understanding comes from mastering each topic in depth and revisiting key skills regularly. My approach ensures that students explore every concept thoroughly, working through a wide range of variations so their knowledge becomes secure and adaptable.

With most schools adopting a 'mastery' approach in Mathematics, this method is especially valuable at A-level, where the complexity and demands of exam questions have increased significantly - but it is still valuable at other levels.
In the lead-up to exams, I find that working through past papers is particularly effective. This not only strengthens familiarity with exam-style questions but also reinforces core material and highlights any areas needing further attention. Past-paper practice is essential for helping students perform confidently at the required standard.

If you're looking for focused, supportive Maths tuition that builds real confidence and mastery, I'd be delighted to help. Feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange your first session - and if you're not happy with the first lesson, it's completely free from me. I want to ensure you get valuable learning from the time spent.

Personal Description:
Experienced Maths Teacher & Examiner | 15 Years' Experience | National 5, Higher, GCSE & A Level

Hi, I'm Richard, an experienced Maths teacher with 15 years' experience teaching across both the English and Scottish education systems.

I am passionate about helping young people succeed in Mathematics and believe that every student can achieve success with the right support. My aim is not only to improve grades, but also to build confidence, resilience and problem-solving skills that extend beyond the classroom.

Every student learns differently, so I tailor lessons to individual needs, whether that involves strengthening core understanding, preparing for exams, boosting confidence or challenging high-attaining students to reach their full potential.

Teaching Experience:
Over the years, I have taught Mathematics across the secondary and post-16 curriculum, including Pure Mathematics, Statistics, Mechanics and Discrete Mathematics. I have marked National 5 and Higher Mathematics examinations, and my experience as both a teacher and examiner helps students develop strong mathematical understanding alongside effective exam technique.

In addition to classroom teaching, I have held leadership roles as Assistant Head of Department and Head of Department.

Tutoring Approach:
My tutoring begins by identifying a student's strengths, areas for development and personal goals. Together, we create a clear plan to build confidence, improve understanding and achieve success.

I firmly believe that success in Maths is not about natural ability; it comes from effective explanations, practice, perseverance and the right support. I create a positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes.

I offer both online and in-person tuition and am available during weekday evenings. I tutor National 5 Mathematics, National 5 Applications of Mathematics, Higher Mathematics, GCSE Mathematics, and A Level Mathematics (Pure, Statistics and Mechanics).

Whether a student is aiming to strengthen their understanding, improve exam performance, or achieve top grades, I provide personalised tuition designed to help them reach their goals.
