Information About Mark:
Personal Description:
I am married with two older sons (27 & 23) and two cats. My hobbies are travelling, umpiring hockey, fishing and hill-walking. I have a positive attitude towards life, a good sense of humour and I'd like to think I'm easy to get on with.
EXTRA INFORMATION ABOUT FEES
Please also note that once you have paid the website fee to access my contact details UK Tutors require me to pass on part of the first tutoring payment (£18) to them. For this reason in the very first tutoring session the charge will be £53 for the first hour and then the 'normal' £35 per hour after that (or £58 & £40).
AVAILIBILITY
As of 01/11/23 I will have the following session times available;
Monday 4:15-8:00pm
Tuesday 5:15-8:00pm
Wednesday 4:15pm-8:00pm
Thursday 4:15pm-8:00pm
Saturday & Sunday 9am-12pm.
I normally book out sessions in 1 hour or 1.5 hour slots although 2 hours is possible.
(School holidays by negotiation but normally mornings 9am - 12pm).
My wife also tutor GCSE maths and can be booked via my profile if a female tutor is preferred. She may be available for daytime sessions prior to 4:30pm.
Teaching Experience:
I am a very experienced teacher; I started teaching A level physics in 1983. As well as a class teacher, I have been Head of Physics (6 years), Head of Science (6 years), Assistant Head (2 years), Deputy Head (4 years) and Headteacher (7 years) all in medium to large high schools. Recently I have stepped back into 'semi-retirement' and returned to full time teaching (mainly physics) which I love. I am NOT a Welsh speaker although I understand a lot of the written Cymraeg and have taught and tutored many Welsh speaking students.
I am a very experienced tutor and I pride myself on doing a good job.
Tutoring Approach:
I find that two completely different types of tutoring are required, depending on the student's needs.
Firstly students who genuinely want to improve their understanding but are struggling. Here I like to go right back to basics, leading them forward at their own pace until I find where their understanding gets hazy. I use plenty of practical examples to help improve understanding followed by a more detailed look at exam board requirements.
Secondly, I have been around long enough to know there is a game to be played when it comes to passing exams! In these cases I like to carefully go through exam questions and exam board mark schemes to help students to see what is required in order to access the marks they need.
All tutoring jobs are different and a combination of these two approaches is often needed. For this reason I do a detailed assessment in the first session to find out what outcome the student is looking for.
