Michael R
Experienced online and distance learning tutor

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...

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 ‘the g...
