Brendan

I'm an art enthusiast, involved in theatre, poetry and capoeira (Brazilian art from comprising music, dance, street theatre and martial arts). I am also passionate about learning and inspiring people to pursue their interests.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught philosophy and English literature at A level and GCSE, as well as movement and body conditioning for acrobatics to adult learners and capoeira for children. I also regularly lead teams of volunteers on urban nature reserves and teach them how to use tools and perform woodland tasks.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is to tailor my lessons to the needs and interests of the student while bringing in the syllabus at key points so that learning can grow organically. I will also drill for exams, and try to always gently push a learner at the limit of their ability. Finally some time left alone with the material for review later.
