Harrogate Tutors and Harrogate Tuition

Personal Description:
I am a fully qualified Science Teacher, with a BSc Hons. in Physics and the Post Graduate Certificate in Science Education from York University.
I have more than 8 years experience of teaching pupils 1:1 in Maths and Physics.
I have a patient and enthusiastic style.

I focus on developing pupils' confidence and understanding, modifying the content of each tutorial and my teaching style to suit each student's individual needs, their abilities and progress in the subject.
Covering many examples, practice questions and past papers together, I ensure students consider and understand the examiners requirements and expectations. Using many other revision and exam techniques, I assist candidates to achieve their full potential and improve grades accordingly. To date all of my pupils have passed the exam I was assisting them with, although this cannot be guaranteed for every pupil of course. Many of my tutees achieve the higher 7-9 grades.

For home visits outside of Harrogate town, 40p/mile each way travel charge applies.

I'm semi-retired and have lived in Harrogate for over 15 years. Recent DBS check available.

Teaching Experience:
More than 8 years of tutoring experience, previous teaching in school placement, summer school and church Sunday school settings. Post Graduate Certificate in Science Education (PGCE), the national school teachers qualification, from York University.
Testimonial:
"John is an extremely calm, encouraging and thorough tutor and I have no hesitation in recommending his services. Our daughter's anticipated grade was increased by the school after his tutorials began. She sat her Maths GCSE in a much better frame of mind, and achieved her potential thanks to the sessions with John. " Laura.

Tutoring Approach:
I focus on teaching and improving:
Revision, Study and Exam Techniques and Skills, enhancing the pupil's recall and understanding of core concepts in Maths and Physics. I also teach pupils how to consider and tailor their responses to the examiner's requirements and expectations.

Enhancing motivation and interest in the subject by:
-relating new concepts to children's existing knowledge, interests and experiences;
-thorough revision of each topic;
-covering many practice examples;
-gradually introducing exam type questions;
-analysing the student's answers to exam questions together;
-explaining / inviting candidates to consider what the examiner is looking for.

With adequate practice on past papers, and by developing the student's motivation, desire and reasons to succeed, every candidate can be enabled to achieve their true potential in the exam.
My approach builds self-confidence in the student's own abilities.
These have all been proven to improve grades and self-confidence in exam results.

Personal Description:
I am a mother of 2 teenagers and recently started up private tuition as my only income as I really enjoy the work and find it very rewarding.

Teaching Experience:
I have a lot of experience in teaching modern languages to all ages of children and adults. I have taught in UK high schools and primary schools, I have worked for Le Club Francais (an after school French club), I have taught adults in evening classes and most recently I have taught individuals and small groups of children offering them fun French lessons and GCSE tuition. I also teach some of my students via Skype.

Tutoring Approach:
I like to make my lessons fun but practical and cater for the needs of individual students in my lessons. I am happy to listen to what my students need to focus on and will deliver lessons accordingly.

My prices are based on Harrogate or online sessions. If you are further away then the price would be higher.

Personal Description:
I studied Classics at King's College, Cambridge, graduating in 2009. I then trained as a teacher at Queens' College, Cambridge, graduating with a PGCE in 2010. I have been a private tutor since 2009, and have now clocked up thousands of hours' tutoring experience in Latin and Ancient Greek. I tutor both languages to degree-level standard in London, Cambridge and online. I love Classics, and my main aim is to make my lessons fun and inspirational.

Teaching Experience:
I have been tutoring Latin and Ancient Greek intensively for the past 7 years, with thousands of hours' teaching experience to date. I have taught towards all major public exams in both languages, such as Common Entrance, GCSE, AS, A2, SAT, Pre-U and even BA (i.e. University exams). I am familiar with the entrance processes for a number of independent and grammar schools, and have had a lot of experience teaching towards scholarship papers. I have tutored many students applying to Cambridge and Oxford, and can provide in-depth advice and support with choosing the right course and college, as well as getting to the necessary level for the language tests. I have also taught the languages to those who have decided to learn them purely for fun! In addition to my face-to-face teaching, I have taught extensively online (about 50% of my teaching is conducted on Skype), and have built up an array of handy techniques to get the most from the online format. I was Head of Latin at a school in Bury St Edmunds for two years (September 2011 to July 2013). Since October 2010, I have been supervising Cambridge undergraduates in Latin and Ancient Greek (colleges so far have included Pembroke, Downing, Homerton, Queens', King's, Murray Edwards, Newnham, Caius, Peterhouse, St John's, Emmanuel and Trinity). I also own and run a private tuition agency, Titanium Tutors, which I set up in 2011, managing a team of 8 staff members and over 1000 inspirational tutors.

Tutoring Approach:
My teaching style is structured and thorough. I start every lesson with a five minute recap of the key content of the previous session, checking how much the tutee remembers. A typical lesson will then consist of a translation, in which I ask the tutee to note down each unknown word as it is encountered and to devise a memory trick which will help them to recall the word in a five minute test at the end of the lesson. Together with the tutee, I will then pick a grammar point which stood out in the translation exercise as requiring the most immediate attention. We will spend five to ten minutes working on that, with the tutee's understanding tested with some reinforcement exercises. At the end of the lesson we will recap all the new vocabulary and grammar which was covered, and I will typically set a manageable 20 - 30 minute homework for the next session based on what was covered in the lesson. Every lesson is of course different, and tailored to the tutee's requirements, but I find this approach works in the vast majority of cases. I consider grammar to be crucially important, but treat it as a means to an end and always emphasise the ways in which it can be usefully applied to translation rather than learned in isolation. I believe that any tutee can excel in Latin and Greek with a little guidance and a decent amount of independent work. Above all, I strive to make my lessons fun and enjoyable. I love my subject and want all of my tutees to love it too.

Personal Description:
Online and in person tuition available!

A little bit about me: I have my own tutoring business which I am currently running during my maternity leave. I am a University of Surrey MSci Biochemistry (Master of Science) graduate. Have completed half of my PGCE in secondary science teaching and currently on maternity leave. I have 10 years experience in teaching having taught over 100 students in the last 4 years. I am young and energetic whilst being knowledgable in most curriculums from pre-school all the way up to A- level.
*** PLEASE NOTE: I offer a consultation either in the student's home, online or over the phone. ***

Teaching Experience:
As a secondary school science teacher with over 10 years of tutoring experience and my own tutoring business, I tailor my lessons to everyone of students specifically. I approach teaching with a relaxed attitude where the student can really make the most out of every session without feeling bored or uncomfortable. I keep the sessions as interactive as possible and my teaching styles can be changed to suit every learning style!

Tutoring Approach:
I tailor every single lesson to every single individual I teach. My forte is teaching students without stressing, boring or tiring them. Most of my students repeat the comment "I can`t believe it is the end of the session, it went by so quickly!"; which is due to the fact that I make my lessons as engaging and fun as possible whilst not compromising on time or amount of content. Not many tutors are able to build a good relationship with their students by showing them they care about the individual rather than just each session. I LOVE teaching which is why I have not left the industry since I started. I can provide references from other parents/students proving to you how happy they have been with my service. I will not guarantee your child will achieve an A* in any given subject as that is also up to the student but I can guarantee that I will teach them as much as they can learn and make the lessons we have as fun, engaging and informative as possible.



Please Note: A surcharge will incur if I need to travel to you depending on distance. I have a fully enhanced DBS check (former CRB).

Personal Description:
Hello! I'm Kiren, a passionate and dedicated math tutor with a deep love for numbers and a strong commitment to helping students succeed. With a background in mathematics, gained through my Bachelors in engineering, I bring both expertise and enthusiasm to every tutoring session.

Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with students of all ages and skill levels, from primary school through to college. My approach to teaching maths is centered on making the subject accessible and enjoyable. I believe that everyone has the potential to excel in math with the right guidance and support.

Teaching Experience:
I have had the pleasure of tutoring students across a wide range of educational levels, from primary school through to A-level. My journey as a maths tutor began with helping primary school students build a strong foundation in basic arithmetic and problem-solving skills. I quickly discovered a passion for teaching and a knack for explaining complex concepts in a way that young learners could easily grasp. Seeing my students' confidence grow as they mastered new skills was incredibly rewarding and fueled my desire to reach even more students.

In addition to working with younger students, I have also tutored A level school students, guiding them through the intricacies of Algebra, Geometry, and Trigonometry. My approach is always tailored to the individual needs of each student, whether they are preparing for critical exams or simply looking to improve their understanding of the material. My experience with A-level students has been particularly enriching, as I have been able to help them tackle advanced topics and prepare for university-level coursework.

Beyond traditional tutoring, I spent a year teaching apprentices, which was a unique and fulfilling experience. Working with apprentices allowed me to connect mathematical theory with practical, real-world applications, demonstrating how essential maths skills are in various trades and professions. This experience honed my ability to make math relevant and engaging, showing students the value of what they are learning beyond the classroom.

During my time at university, I also provided peer support to fellow students. This involved helping my classmates with challenging coursework, facilitating study groups, and offering one-on-one assistance. These informal teaching opportunities helped me develop a deeper understanding of the material and refined my ability to communicate complex ideas clearly and effectively. It was during this period that I realised how much I enjoyed teaching and mentoring others, solidifying my commitment to becoming a dedicated math tutor.

Throughout my diverse teaching experiences, I have cultivated a versatile teaching style that adapts to the needs of each student. Whether working with young children, high school students, apprentices, or university peers, my goal remains the same: to inspire a love for maths and to empower my students to achieve their full potential

Tutoring Approach:
My approach to teaching is centered around the belief that every student has the potential to excel in maths when given the right tools and support. I strive to create a learning environment that is both encouraging and engaging, where students feel comfortable exploring new concepts and expressing their difficulties. Patience and understanding are at the core of my teaching philosophy, as I recognise that each student learns at their own pace and in their own unique way.

One of the key elements of my approach is personalisation. I tailor my lessons to meet the specific needs and goals of each student, taking into account their strengths, weaknesses, and learning styles. By customising my teaching methods, I can provide targeted support that helps students overcome their challenges and build confidence in their abilities. Whether a student needs help with basic arithmetic, advanced algebra, or anything in between, I am committed to providing the guidance and resources they need to succeed.

Interactive and practical learning is another cornerstone of my teaching style. I incorporate a variety of teaching aids and techniques to make math more relatable and interesting. This includes using real-world examples, visual aids, and hands-on activities to demonstrate how mathematical concepts apply to everyday life and various professions. By making math relevant and tangible, I aim to spark curiosity and enthusiasm in my students, helping them see the value and importance of what they are learning.

I also believe in the power of positive reinforcement and encouragement. Building a student's confidence is crucial to their success, and I make it a point to celebrate their progress, no matter how small. By fostering a positive and supportive atmosphere, I help students develop a growth mindset, where they view challenges as opportunities for growth rather than obstacles. This mindset not only improves their performance in math but also equips them with the resilience and problem-solving skills that will benefit them in all areas of life.

Ultimately, my goal as a math tutor is not only to improve my students' grades but also to instill a lasting appreciation for the subject. I want my students to leave our sessions with a deeper understanding of maths and a newfound confidence in their abilities. Through a combination of personalised instruction, interactive learning, and positive reinforcement, I am dedicated to helping each student achieve their full potential and develop a lifelong love for learning.
