David - Chorley tutor






Information About David:


Personal Description:

I am married with 2 daughters and have spent most of my working life in education.



Teaching Experience:

I spent almost 20 years teaching maths and science in 2 Lancashire high schools, Garstang and Broughton. I have also worked part time for Lancashire Education Medical Service teaching children in hospital or at home if they are not well enough to return to school. I have also 20 years experience of marking GCSE, iGCSE and was a teamleader for Key Stage 3 science from 1999 to 2008. In 2009 and 2010 I marked KS2 science. I am also a senior examiner for the AQA GCSE higher level chemistry paper and this helps me improve a student's exam technique.



Tutoring Approach:

I tutor students in both maths and science in the evening and at weekends. I also have one student who does not attend school and I am contracted to teach her 4 hours per week. I am confident teaching all abilities and have a very good pass rate.
Tutoring on a one to one basis I can quickly identify the areas where the student needs help and by concentrating on those areas the student soon becomes more confident and I always emphasise the importance of understanding the concepts. Some students have moved up 2 sets in maths and last year a student who obtained a C grade in her mock exam obtained an A grade in her Maths GCSE.
Many students have the ability but lack motivation so I try to captivate their interest and help them with their studies.
