Personal Description:
I have been teaching for 12 years in a variety of educational settings in Further Education, Adult Education and working in Primary schools delivering courses to children and parents. I am currently up to date with primary school methods of teaching English and Mathematics - the latter has changed significantly over the years and parents may find methodology different to their own learnt methods which can cause problems when helping their children with homework.

I have a friendly approach, and encourage learning in a safe environment that enables learners to feel happy and stimulated to learn. But I still expect learners to work hard for me and complete homework when given it. I am a mature person, reliable and punctual, and interested in my students progress in their subjects. I have been so happy over this past year with exam results, raises in grades and the positive feedback from pupils and their parents.

Teaching Experience:
I have been teaching since 1999, and have a varied experience due to working in larger colleges and smaller learning establishments. I have worked in Adult and Further Education teaching English and Mathematics, and also have worked with youth offenders.

I started private tutoring in 2011, and found it a rewarding and enjoyable form of teaching. My learners have varied from 5 year olds & primary learners, those studying for GCSE's, secondary school pupils, English for speakers of other languages and those in Further Education that need extra help with English and Maths one-to-one (extra to their college courses).

Tutoring Approach:
I find it best to discuss with the students their learning needs, then create an 'Individual Learning Plan' with targets we can work towards. I do like to encourage learners to do their best, learn through doing and working out answers. Not so much focusing on 'wrong' answers - but the process of getting there - and realising where problems lie. Then we can remove the misunderstandings and misconceptions that lose them marks (especially with mathematics) and make new connections that enable learners to produce the 'right' answers.

I use all forms of learning through not just text books - but through games of mental maths or spelling, interactive work (if pc supplied in learners house) & help with school set 'mymaths' site, 'doing tasks' from counting money to making maths drawing with isometric paper and many more methods that stimulate a learner to make long term deep memory learning.

Students can feel in control of their learning, and see their progress in their Individual Learning Plans which can be shown to parents and adapted to suit the needs of the learner, either in long term courses or short intensive sets of lessons.

Personal Description:
I am a highly experienced Mathematics tutor with over 17 years of successful tutoring experience with outstanding results. My students consistently meet or exceed their target grades. I am enthusiastic, responsible and committed to building students' confidence.

Teaching Experience:
I am a qualified teacher with a PGCE. I taught in a school for a year, and since then I have been tutoring for over 17 years, covering KS3, GCSE, A level and numeracy skills for PGCE applicants. In addition I have supported students including my two sons, with university applications, including Oxbridge, and prepared pupils for entrance exams such as the 11+ Charterhouse School, where my student successfully secured a place.

Tutoring Approach:
I set high expectations for my students while providing tailored support to help each learner their full potential. My approach includes:
- Building strong subject foundations while delivering challenging and engaging lessons
- Using targeted assessment to identify key areas for improvement
- Setting clear performance goals, such as target percentages for practice papers
- Thorough exam preparation through focused revision and the development of effective exam techniques

Personal Description:
I decided to start tutoring after my experience in trying to get tutors for my own children. As a professional working internationally I thought it would be easy to hand over this important element of their education to someone with both experience and patience. My notion was quickly turned on its head. The Tutors I found taught textbook style with the one shoe fits all approach. My children and others didn't fit into that mould. I very quickly realised that I could do a better job and took the role in house, initially teaching my own daughters before extending out to their friends.
To date I have tutored over 50 children who have gone onto their chosen schools and streams. I believe that tutoring should be about delivering skills to children that they can carry with them throughout their young lives and provide a solid platform on which to develop.

Teaching Experience:
Have tutored key stage 2 and 3.
11 plus students and common entrance applicants.
Recently started to tutor mildly dyslexic students in English comprehension and Language.
Currently writing essays for publication in English Literature and Sociology and Business GCSE and AS level. As well as E papers for 11 plus students.

Tutoring Approach:
I love seeing peoples enthusiasm toward a subject which I also share the same excitement towards however I am also passionate about helping people who may need help or are looking for methods to improve their skills in these topics.

Personal Description:
I am Dr. Clare, a full-time professional tutor, a current GCSE and A-level examiner, and a former University Lecturer in Pharmacy (University of Nottingham), as well as a past Vice-President of the professional body for private tuition.

I hold a PhD from Imperial College London and have a strong academic and research background. I have led cutting-edge projects for multinational pharmaceutical and biotechnology organisations, including Unilever, GlaxoSmithKline, Zeneca, and Novartis. My published research has been cited over 7000 times in peer-reviewed literature, and I currently serve on the editorial boards of several respected international scientific journals. My passion for science and mathematics, combined with real-world research experience, allows me to bring subjects to life and make complex ideas accessible and engaging.

Alongside my own tutoring, my son-an MEng student at Aston University-works with me as an employee of my business supporting GCSE students in Maths and Physics. He has full access to my teaching resources, holds a current DBS check, and offers sessions at £30 per hour.

I enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities, and I am committed to helping each individual reach their full potential. My teaching style is patient, supportive, and tailored to the unique strengths and needs of every learner.

With extensive experience as a tenured university lecturer, I have taught at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels and have supervised eight PhD students to successful completion. I have also interviewed numerous UCAS applicants and can provide expert guidance on crafting strong personal statements and preparing for university applications.

Teaching Experience:
My students consistently achieve outstanding results. At A-level, the most recent set of results were 100% A*-C grades, with 85% achieving A*-A, 8% B, and 7% C. Every student secured a place at their first-choice university, with 31% progressing to medical school. These results are consistent year-on-year. At GCSE (2025), students achieved 100% grades 9-7 on Higher Tier papers, and 100% grade 5 on Foundation Tier papers-the highest grade available at that level.

I have been a full-time professional tutor for over thirteen years and was elected Vice-President of The Tutors' Association, the UK's professional body for tutors-an acknowledgement of my standing within the profession.

I have extensive experience across all major examination boards, including AQA, OCR, Edexcel, IB, and CIE. As a current and highly experienced Biology examiner and question setter, I provide students with valuable insight into how marks are awarded and how to approach exams strategically from an examiner's perspective.

In addition to tutoring, I have recent secondary school teaching experience, ensuring my methods remain closely aligned with current curricula and classroom expectations.

I also have significant experience supporting students with a wide range of additional needs, including autism (and Asperger's), ADHD, dyslexia, and partial hearing. Furthermore, having lived and worked internationally, I am well equipped to support students for whom English is an additional language.

My experience allows me to adapt my teaching to suit each individual, helping students build confidence, master exam technique, and achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Approach:
I deliver tuition either face to face (students travel to me), or online via Zoom.

Where students travel to me, I offer a dedicated quiet space for tuition free from distractions and with all of my resources and reference books to hand.

Online tuition is carried out via Zoom. Whilst some students are initially concerned that online will be impersonal, once experienced it tends to be the preferred option for many. It Online offers significant advantages: students can learn in a comfortable, familiar environment, avoid travel time and disruptions, and benefit from a more flexible and environmentally friendly approach.

Each session is supported with high-quality resources. Students receive a detailed AI-generated summary after every lesson, along with a PDF copy of all work completed on my interactive whiteboard-providing clear, structured notes to revisit and reinforce learning between sessions.

My teaching is highly personalised. Before tuition begins, we agree clear goals, and I design a tailored programme of study to meet the student's specific needs and aspirations. Progress is carefully monitored throughout, with ongoing assessment and adaptation to ensure each student continues to develop effectively and confidently.

Above all, I believe that learning should be engaging and enjoyable. I am approachable, supportive, and committed to creating a positive learning environment where students feel motivated and confident-because when students enjoy their learning, they achieve their very best.

I am currently pursuing a Master's in Secondary Education, deepening my knowledge of modern teaching strategies and pedagogy.

I moved to the UK in 2016 and learned English as a second language, so I fully understand the challenges language learners face, from shyness to fluency, and I tailor my lessons to each student's needs and goals. I combine academic expertise, practical experience, and a love of culture to create lessons that are engaging, effective, and fun.

I also completed courses on Speech an Language Support, Autism, ADHD, and behaviour management, equipping me to support students with diverse needs effectively.

Tutoring Approach:
I believe that learning a language is most effective when it's interactive, consistent, and enjoyable. In my lessons, I speak Spanish 90% of the time and encourage students to actively participate. I focus on grammar, reading, listening, speaking, and cultural knowledge to provide a holistic learning experience.

Personal Description:
I am a secondary Mathematics teacher living in the Manchester area. I am highly passionate about Mathematics, and thoroughly enjoy teaching the subject. I believe it's more than learning about numbers and equations, it's about understanding. I love building relationships with pupils in the classroom, and transferring knowledge to them.

In my spare time, I enjoy going to the gym, visiting National Trust parks and reading a variety of novels.

Teaching Experience:
I am a secondary Mathematics teacher who holds qualified teacher status, and finished teacher training in July 2022. I have 4 years' worth of teaching experience and during this time, I have taught in a high achieving secondary school in Altrincham. I have substantial experience with both the AQA and OCR scheme of learning. My experience of teaching varied abilities over the years makes me highly adaptable.

As a teacher, I am fully trained on meeting a range of educational needs and ensuring that I am tailoring my teaching to meet the needs of the pupils. Before I was a teacher, I was a teaching assistant, and also a tutor in an award winning tuition centre, where I tutored Secondary Mathematics and led 11+ tuition sessions.

Tutoring Approach:
I offer online tuition lessons for key stage 3 and 4 mathematics, GCSE revision and 11+ examination preparation.

The lesson is all about the pupil! I ensure my tutoring is pupil-centred and that I am meeting their learning needs and filling in their gaps of knowledge. I use positive rapport and relationship building to create a positive learning environment for the pupil.

In the first lesson, I would give the pupils an assessment, which allows me to identify their gaps in the curriculum. I would then focus on filling the gaps in future tuition sessions. In the beginning of each lesson, pupils are tested on prior knowledge to ensure they can recall the information.

I break down a topic or question into smaller parts, and ensure pupils can then confidently apply the skill they have learnt to future questions. I use a variety of resources and teaching methods, making learning accessible for all.

My techniques involve exposing students to exam style questions throughout the tutoring experience to ensure they can apply the knowledge they have learnt. Other methods I use are spot the mistake, underlining key parts of a question, and linking topics to prior information.

I can set homework at the end of each session if the pupil wishes me to do so. Parents/carers are given feedback at the end of each session to ensure they are kept up to date.
