I started teaching at school. From a long line of teachers (parents and grandprents!), I've always been asked and been willing to help others with a fascination and deep satisfaction in finding ways to make difficult subjects more accessible to the myriad needs of different learners.

Whether working in mainstream, pupil referral units, MLD schools or with home educated pupils, I work hard to tailor my lessons to the individual needs of each student. After all, this is usually why one to one tuition is needed.

As a tutor, I see building a relationship of trust and camaraderie as essential to the work we do and a sense of humour is rarely far away from our sessions. That said, I ensure we maintain a focus on identifiable progress and keep an ongoing discussion with pupils and parents about where we are headed and how we are getting on.

Away from tutoring, I am also a stage and screen actor, father of a four year old (Pippin), dog lover, veg grower and keen outdoorsy sort of chap. I grew up in Argentina and Cumbria via stints in Hong Kong, Derbyshire and London, finally settling here in East Sussex.

Were you to work with me, you would be hiring a tutor who will ensure lessons are bespoke, enjoyable and who can help students achieve grades beyond their expectations. But, more importantly, hopefully a tutor who a student can look back on after their results and say they got the result, but they also had a good time. Many of my former parents and pupils I now count as good friends and it is a source of immense pride to me to hear of their endeavours and be a small part of their success.
