LoginTom - Finsbury Park tutor
Information About Tom:
Personal Description:
I started tutoring in 2009 and have been an associate lecturer in Earth Sciences with the Open University since 2014. I love all science and am passionate about supporting learners of all ages and abilities to achieve their best, while hopefully finding a bit of the magic in the subject along the way!
I'm also a student myself, in the process of writing up my PhD which is focused on the tectonic evolution of central Greece,
I'm based in North London, living in Finsbury Park, and I've lived here most of my life... 44 years old and counting!
Teaching Experience:
I have been a tutor of secondary school sciences/Geography (KS3 - A Level) since 2009.
I have taught science at secondary school and revision colleges teaching KS3, GCSE and A Level.
I am an associate lecturer in Earth Science and Evolutionary Biology with the Open University (Since 2014).
I have have had various fixed-term lectureships teaching geology and palaeontology at UCL & Birkbeck College (London).
Tutoring Approach:
My core approach:
Is friendly and student-centred, empowering students to succeed in their studies with support and guidance every step of the way.
Focuses on developing a real grasp of the key concepts central to the course of study, including homework support and ample practice to refine exam technique.
Provides a safe and supportive atmosphere where no question is too daft and the focus is constantly on the journey towards achieving the best possible results in exams and coursework.
I have a wide range of resources which can be used as informal between-session homeworks or simply provided for enrichment beyond those provided at school.
