Alistair's profile picture

Information About Alistair:


Personal Description:

After completing my PGCE (which included teaching practice in St. Davids) I went on to become a Deputy Headteacher of a primary school in Llangollen. I decided to leave Denbighshire and return to Pembrokeshire, where I set up my own tuition company in 2012. I am currently studying myself and as a result am very flexible and can tutor seven days a week, daytime (when not supply teaching) or early evening. It's possible for me to travel or tutor from home depending on what is best for all concerned.
I live near Haverfordwest and Milford Haven, but am prepared to travel throughout Pembrokeshire and potentially further.
For the student to get the most out of the tutoring, it would be very important for me to find out what their aims are so that I could produce an effective plan. Please contact me with any queries so that I can make an assessment of the student's requirements. I would be happy to conduct an initial meeting/tutorial at half price. Please note that I can teach at home, travel to students' homes or via Zoom.



Teaching Experience:

As a former Deputy Headteacher of a primary school in north Wales, I have twelve years experience of teaching both KS1 and KS2. I have spent much of this time working with children with Special Educational Needs (SEN). These children have ranged in ability from those struggling with basic literacy and numeracy skills, to those with gifted abilities.
Since starting my tuition company, I now have 13 further years of experience of one to one teaching, ranging from KS1 to all years of secondary education and adults.
I would be able to teach English, Maths, Combined Science, History, Geography, Religious Studies, Study Skills, Entrance Exam Skills and Second Language Welsh up to GCSE level. My undergraduate degree of Humanities covered English, Welsh Studies, Drama, Religious Studies and History to degree level.
As a teacher who taught KS1 and KS2, it was always important to maintain strong links with the local secondary school. I also kept improving my subject knowledge up to GCSE level to help the older and more gifted children that I taught.
Above all, I would like to help support and improve students in a stimulating, enjoyable and successful manner.



Tutoring Approach:

I am able to tutor a range of subjects from KS1 to GCSE in a fun, structured and interactive way. I am also able to tutor adults, and A level and degree students depending on their subjects and standard. As a vital part of my teaching, I can set work for students, helping them with planning and then emailing back constructive feedback based on their scanned or emailed essays, stories, maths questions, assignments etc. this feedback is also shared either in person or via Zoom. Please contact me for more details.

Please note: I can also teach 40 minutes sessions for £26.00.
