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 our 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 education and 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 8am to 7pm Monday to Thursday and 8am to 12 noon 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 or a mutually agreed venue, on an hourly basis. I offer a free 20 minute no obligation, informal discussion, if requested

"Denise went above and beyond to help me study for my Numeracy Test which I had already failed once. She was patient as she taught me ways to improve on my maths skills."
