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 ‘the g...

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...

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,...

My tutoring approach is to be as student centred as possible, the student should feel in control of their learning...
