I have been teaching for 40 years and have been highly successful at gaining high grades for my students. I have been an AQA examiner and have attended numerous training courses on examination technique. I am able to tutor English and Verbal Reasoning for the Kent 11+ test, as well as Spanish to A level and French up to GCSE. Please note that I do not offer Maths or non verbal for the 11+ as I feel that this is best taught by a Maths specialist. I can also offer English at KS2 and ESL.
I have been a Head of Department and have taught in both maintained and independent schools during my 40 years of teaching. I was highly respected by both parents and students who appreciated my kind, yet firm and organised, approach. I am happy to provide references from local parents whose children I have tutored recently.
My tutoring technique varies according to the student and the level, as each student is an individual. However, as with a class of 30, lessons need to be varied and interesting and, most importantly of all, fun! I like to work closely with you as parents to ensure that you are happy with your child's progress, and will always give my time willingly at the end of a lesson to discuss ways of getting the best out of your son or daughter.
Please don't hesitate to contact me to discuss current availability and any queries you might have and I will endeavour to reply within a few hours. I generally have plenty of availability during the day but limited after-school slots.
