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 ā€˜the 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,...

Miles R
Qualified, friendly, experienced Economics A-Level tutor
I have a wealth of experience as a qualified teacher and have been teaching A-level economics for 30 years across comprehensive schools, sixth-form colleges and independent schools. I was Head of Business and Economics at a large college and have been an examiner for both AQA and Edexcel. Economics is a key to understanding the world around us, the world in which we live and build careers. Understanding Economics allows us to see and think differently, to be more independent and critical. My tutoring approach is to be as student centred as possible, the student should feel in control of their learning...

Making learning memorable
* Book your child in for SUMMER BOOSTER sessions TODAY*- I have had a HUGE increase this year in last minute requests for support, even for the day before the exam...- Many of these young people have been worrying about their GCSEs and A Levels behind closed doors and parents have realised too late that they need support.- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study. These...

Improve your exam techniques for sitting exams this summer.
I am passionate about offering bespoke one-to-one teaching from Key stage 2 to English language and literature to GCSE level and A level. In addition I also teach English as a foreign language. One to one teaching facilitates a more productive way for a student to progress and fulfil their potential and it is always my aim to build a strong rapport with the student which I feel contributes to a more enjoyable and productive learning experience. I have an encouraging approach to teaching and see learning as a cooperative exercise. I hold a BA (Hons) degree in English Literature from the University...
