Private Maths and English Tuition in Hove

I am a friendly, approachable and down to earth person who loves to teach. I am genuinely interested in people and I believe this comes across when I teach and tutor.

Some of my interests are: football, skiing, cricket, travel, music, reading, history, politics, philosophy, film, learning about pretty much anything, psychology

Tutoring Experience

I've taught, tutored and coached in 7 different countries that I've lived in now. I've tutored privately in mostly English and Maths.

English wise this includes language, literature and English as a Foreign Language.

Tutoring Approach

My biggest passion is making people believe in themselves. I strongly believe that most people can do most things - all they need is someone to provide the knowledge, encouragement and support. And I pride myself in providing exactly this to all my tutees and students.

I’ve been privately tutoring for 20 years in a variety of subjects and countries; teaching and tutoring in Kenya, Canada, Australia, Hungary, Japan, France and England.

Mostly this has been in English and Maths, but especially any subjects where comprehension and writing skills are at the fore.

I enjoy helping students of all ages and I’ve taught all the way from 4 years old to adults. I work hard to build a good rapport with all my students as this is vital for maximising their learning.

Furthermore, before I begin, I make sure both parties are clear on what the goals are from my tutoring, and that both are happy with how we will proceed.

I also ensure I work hard to understand the learning styles and unique personalities of each of my students, so that I can tailor my teaching to suit their precise individual needs.
