Sam L
Approachable GCSE Functional Skills Tutor
Hello, I'm Sam. I have been a tutor for five years now, during which time I have chiefly supported students studying GCSE English Language and Maths (Foundation and Higher) for both AQA and Edexcel exam boards. One of the advantages of one-to-one tutoring is that it allows for a more personalised approach to teaching that best suits the student. Working closely with my students, I monitor the areas they are struggling in in order to form appropriate lesson plans, scaffolded tasks and teaching strategies for overcoming difficulties. At the end of lessons, I am always happy to provide homework/extra...

Simon H
Simon massively helped me with an application for the army! Needing to get my maths up to scratch, Simon went though questions I would face and explained them to me in a way that I’d remember them when going to interview! Brilliant lesson with a patient and articulate man!
Thanks very much!

Bevan H
I can’t recommend Bevan enough. I failed maths at school and was told I didn’t have the ability to pass at level 2 and so have spent my life trying to avoid it. I then began a professional qualification for which I required maths and was so anxious at the thought of having to pick this subject up again after so long. For me, embarking on maths tuition was a big deal and I worried about feeling and looking stupid and how on earth anyone could teach me something I’ve had such a mental block with for years. Then along came Bevan.
Bevan is incredibly patient and understanding. I found him to be an exceptional teacher, taking time to find out how I learn best and adapting his teaching to suit me. He made the subject accessible by using methods that could understand. I have now passed maths functional skills at level 2 and am over the moon. I can’t thank Bevan enough.
