Tutor Profile: I'm a highly qualified, 'hands-on' tutor specialising in Geography, History, Politics, English and Spanish with ten years extensive experience both at home and abroad (USA, Mexico, Central America). I’m also a published academic writer (I write notes for exam specifications), freelance writer (politics and sociology of religion) and novelist.
I have a first degree from the University of Southampton and an MSc from the University of London. Having been in academia for longer than I care to remember I have a first-hand knowledge of the exam system and the way in which it works - I mark exams papers for OCR and write course notes for AQA.
Exam technique is a valuable skill which I impart to all my students: what to write and - perhaps more importantly - what not write and how to structure a top-grade answer. I focus on writing skills (and that includes use of effective English, spelling, grammar and the punctuation) and revision techniques.
I also have many years experience of supporting students with dyslexia, dyspraxia and ADHD (all of whom have gone on to university).
Teachers and tutors are not one and the same thing; a teacher has to focus on classroom control, a tutor is more of a coach whose role it is to get the best out of an individual or small group based on a shared enthusiasm for the subject and a desire not to accept second best.
Each lesson/programme is designed with the student's specific needs in mind - whether examinations, business or pleasure: it's your lesson after all! We use my experience to get the best out of you and, perhaps most importantly, improve your self-confidence. Remember, much as I'd love to, I can't sit the exam for you!
My lessons are dynamic, engaging and never - yes, never - dull and boring; I just can't teach that way. Remember! This is not school and I am not your teacher; the learning experience is at its most effective and efficient when both tutor and student are engaged in the subject and, dare I say it, even enjoying it!
