Tadworth Tutors & Tadworth Tuition

Personal Description:
I live in West Cornwall with my young family, and currently work as a private tutor and academic mentor. Born in Brighton, it was there in 2009 I completed my teacher training and began a career as a science teacher.

As well as my classroom teaching experience, I have worked as a laboratory researcher, science editor, and more recently as an independent advocate within the field of mental health. Additionally, I hold an undergraduate degree in genetics and a masters degree in psychology.

Teaching Experience:
I obtained a PGCE in secondary science - gaining qualified teacher status in 2009. During training, I taught at two West Sussex secondary schools. Upon qualifying, I taught at a prestigious all-girls school in central Brighton, and then subsequently at Bellerbys International College in Brighton.

My classroom experience includes teaching ages 11-18 across all three sciences (biology, chemistry, and physics) from GCSE to A-level. I also have 17 years of private tutoring experience, having tutored GCSE, A-level, and mature students. I have a very successful track record.

Tutoring Approach:
I am very friendly and approachable, and highly dedicated to my students - giving a lot of time and effort to ensure they are achieving their full potential. Within sessions, I provide solid structure and tailor my approach to their individual needs. I suggest work for completion outside of sessions and provide them with direction to develop their individual approach to learning and revision.

I am able to explain difficult concepts in an easily digested way, making learning enjoyable and confidence-boosting. I have a clear, patient manner, and an excellent grasp of my subject specialisms.

Tutoring Approach:
My training revolves around clarification, scepticism and individuality. All training is time managed to ensure the student gets the most out of their lessons. We begin with a clear set objective and make sure the student has in mind the goal of every exercise undertaken. Rather than teach a list of techniques, I actively engage all students to get the most out of their individual strengths and I encourage them to look critically at what will work best for them. I promote a self-coaching concept for more efficient skill retention.

I have fully tailored programmes for online tuition via Skype or Zoom. I have my own custom-built gym for personal training.

I hold a First-Class BSc (Hons) in Software Engineering from Kingston University, a Master's degree in Computer Science with Artificial Intelligence (Distinction), and I am currently undertaking a PhD in Artificial Intelligence. I am also a qualified teacher through Liverpool John Moores University and have completed the National Professional Qualification for Middle Leadership (NPQML).

Throughout my career, I have taught learners from Year 7 through to university level, including GCSE, A-Level, BTEC, T Level, HNC, HND, and undergraduate students. As a College Lecturer, I have extensive experience preparing students for examinations, coursework, programming projects, and university assignments.

• BTEC, T Level, HNC, and HND Computing

I provide clear explanations, structured learning materials, past paper practice, and regular feedback to monitor progress.

Students and parents often describe me as approachable, patient, reliable, and supportive. My aim is not only to help students achieve higher grades but also to develop their confidence and enjoyment of learning.

Whether you are preparing for GCSEs, A-Levels, university assignments, or seeking additional support in STEM subjects, I would be delighted to help you achieve your full potential.

Teaching Experience:
I have over eight years of teaching experience across secondary, further education, and higher education settings. Throughout my career, I have taught students from Year 7 through to university level, supporting learners with a wide range of abilities, backgrounds, and learning needs.

My teaching experience covers Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Business Studies, Computer Science, Information Technology, Programming, Data Analysis, Artificial Intelligence, and Software Development. I have successfully prepared students for GCSE, IGCSE, A-Level, BTEC, T Level, HNC, HND, and undergraduate qualifications across the AQA, OCR, and Pearson Edexcel examination boards.

I currently work as a Computer Science and Digital Technology Lecturer at a college in Wigan, where I teach Level 2 and Level 3 learners, as well as Higher National students. My responsibilities include lesson planning, curriculum development, assessment and feedback, student progress monitoring, and preparing learners for examinations, coursework, and industry-focused projects.

In addition to my classroom teaching, I have extensive experience providing one-to-one and small-group tuition. I have helped students improve their confidence, develop effective study skills, strengthen exam technique, and achieve higher grades in STEM subjects.

My teaching approach focuses on making complex topics easy to understand through clear explanations, practical examples, structured resources, and personalised support tailored to each learner's individual needs.

Tutoring Approach:
Every student learns differently, and I tailor my lessons to suit each learner's individual needs, strengths, and learning style. My aim is to build confidence, develop subject knowledge, and help students achieve their academic goals through clear explanations and structured learning.

I specialise in breaking down complex topics into simple, easy-to-understand steps, helping students gain confidence in areas they may previously have found challenging. Whether a learner is aiming to improve their understanding, prepare for examinations, or achieve higher grades, I provide patient and supportive guidance throughout the process.

My lessons are highly interactive and designed to encourage active participation, critical thinking, and problem-solving. I regularly check understanding throughout each session to ensure students remain engaged and make consistent progress.

To support learning, I provide a wide range of carefully selected resources, including lesson notes, PowerPoint presentations, knowledge organisers, exam techniques, specification guidance, past papers, practice questions, and marking scheme analysis. This enables students to develop both subject knowledge and examination skills.

I believe that confidence is the foundation of academic success. My goal is not only to help students achieve excellent results but also to develop independent learners who feel motivated, capable, and prepared for future challenges.

In addition to one-to-one tuition, I also offer small-group sessions where learners can benefit from collaborative learning and peer discussion in a supportive environment. Group tuition is available for KS3 Maths and Triple Science (£20 per student for a 2-hour session) and KS4 GCSE Maths, Triple Science, and Computer Science (£25 per student for a 2-hour session). A minimum of five students is required for group classes.

I have always enjoyed science from an early age, this is what led me to study for a PhD in Chemistry. This enthusiasm for science definitely comes across in my teaching because I think it is the first step in engaging and enthusing pupils about science.

I am a calm and patient teacher and my belief is that there is no such thing as someone who can't do science. Only that the right approach has not been found yet.

Teaching Experience:
Over 10 years tutoring and teaching experience.

Tutoring Approach:
Generally, in the first session I aim to find out what exactly the pupil is struggling with. Subsequent sessions can then be tailored to fit these needs. This will involve lots of practice on the problem areas so that the pupil becomes comfortable with it.

Personal Description:
I am a former secondary school teacher who thoroughly enjoys tutoring both French and Spanish to a wide range of ages and abilities, from beginner right through to GCSE. My belief is that languages are for everyone. I am also a mum to three children so I understand that flexibility is important is important to my tutees and their parents.

Teaching Experience:
I am qualified to degree level and also hold a PGCE qualification and QTS. I worked as a secondary school teacher until December 2017 and since then I have worked as a private tutor of languages, both in person and online.

Tutoring Approach:
As a Languages tutor, I understand the pressures students face as they approach their GCSE examinations and I like to think of my approach as committed to helping my students to achieve whilst also being mindful of their other study commitments.

At GCSE level, I am fully committed to helping my students to achieve their full potential and will tutor them in each of the four skill areas of writing, speaking, reading and listening. I enjoy working one to one with students, helping them to build their confidence in the French language.

I think it is of particular importance with the new French GCSE specification to identify a student's strengths and weaknesses in terms of the four skill areas and to build on and develop those areas at every session.
