Nick B
Experienced tutor of geography and geology to 'A' Level.
I have spent over 30 years teaching in secondary schools in various parts of the UK (in both the state and independent sectors) teaching both geography and geology to university entrance level. At my previous school our geology department was awarded the best school in the U.K. by the 'Good Schools Guide' for its 'A' Level results! As an educator my approach initiates student-centred learning involving debate and discussion, avoiding being merely a dispassionate purveyor of facts. As a teacher, I prefer not lecture but encourage guided self-discovery with any student. My approach is more āthe g...

Michael R
Experienced online and distance learning tutor
I am an experienced tutor and have been working in Somerset for the last fifteen years. In the past I have tutored students who cannot access full-time education for different reasons (health, mobility, faith and behavioural, for example) and always try to tailor my tuition to the individual's needs.I have worked as an examiner for both A level (chemistry), GCSE (sciences) and SATS (maths) so this means I am able not only to tutor the subject but also improve examination technique. Mathematics and all three sciences can be covered at GCSE in any combination and I have gained a sound working knowledge...

Terry U
Learning to smile.
I can hear you now: "More school? After school? No, please.'Let me explain why I know where you're coming from.It doesn't matter how old you get. The moment something difficult finally clicks, is one of the the most freeing feelings you will experience. It doesn't change whether you're a child or an adult, life still wants to teach us hard things and sometimes in the hardest ways. I also remember attending school and feeling like nothing clicks, I mustn't be smart enough. Confidence low, school just isn't something I'm good at it. You look around the room and your friends are all answering questions,...

Peter T
Iāve only had a couple of lessons (A-level) with Peter so far, but he has already made a huge difference in my understanding of maths. From the very first lesson, he was incredibly accommodating and quickly identified the areas I struggle with, tailoring his approach to help me improve efficiently. He is kind, patient, and explains concepts in a way that makes them clickāsomething I had been struggling with for ages suddenly made sense within minutes of his explanation.
As someone with ADD, I often struggle to stay focused, but Peterās lively and engaging teaching style has made a real difference. His approach keeps me engaged, and I find myself zoning out far less (if at all!) compared to lessons at school.
Heās also incredibly patient, ensuring I fully understand a topic before moving on, which has really helped build my confidence.
Peter has also introduced a structured approach to revision by allocating different days for Pure and Statistics/ Mechanics, which is a method I hadnāt used before but has already been really helpful in organising my study and revision.
Peterās excellent resources, clear explanations, and engaging teaching style have made a real difference, and Iām hopeful that with his help me to tackle exam questions with ease and finesse. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a knowledgeable and supportive maths teacher!
