Desmond

Professionally, I am a qualified engineer, who has been tutoring since I left university over 10 years ago

Tutoring Experience

I have taught over 3000 hours ranging from 7+ exams all the way throughout to A-level. In 2017, all my GSCE students got either an A* or an A, whereas my 11+/13 students managed to get into their school of choice, with two achieving academic scholarships to Dulwich College and Whitgift.

I have also tutored children who have entered Eton, Harrow, Winchester, St Pauls, Kings College Wimbledon, Wimbledon High, Putney High, LEH, St Pauls Girls, Tonbridge, Sevenoaks and Wellington

Tutoring Approach

Each lesson to tailored to the ability of the child. I will provide them with a guided understanding of the syllabus and provide examples that they are able to put into practise. It is important for the child to feel confidence in what they do as I believe that this will allow them to achieve their goals. I will provide exam technique via timed papers to ensure that they are well versed in the different types of questions. Most importantly, I believe it is important for the lessons to be interesting and fun as I feel this is where a child feels at ease with learning.
