Would you like a tutor who will talk to you on a level, treat you with respect, and help build your confidence and subject knowledge in a friendly, light-hearted way? I have many years experience working with young people from 4 to 18 years of age, and even adults. I concentrate on tutoring on a one-to-one basis as I like to build up a rapport with my students. That way I can confidently face their learning difficulties in a supportive and positive environment. I have worked in many areas of employment including scientific research, pathology, residential care, retail and education. Therefore I can relate my teaching to the requirements of the workplace and industry. I use my training and experience in mindfulness, and my daily meditation practise to bring calm, relieve anxiety, add perspective and focus to goal setting and achievable targets.
I am available from 9am to 6pm Monday to Thursday and 9am to 1pm on Fridays. Other times are available by mutual agreement
I offer Maths, Science and English tuition from Y1 to Y12 and Biology to Y12 and beyond. I also support adults and undergraduates with Maths and English skills, presentations and report writing following a discussion of needs, and undergraduates studying biomedical sciences or environmental science. Lessons are offered at my address after school, or at mutually agreed venue during school hours, on an hourly basis. I offer a free 20 minute no obligation, informal discussion, if requested
