About

I can also offer tutoring online.

For over 40 years I have provided tuition in Maths, Physics, Computing, Engineering and IT. I teach from KS1 though KS 5 (A Levels, HNC & HND and aspects of Degree as well). I also teach in main syllabuses set by various boards (e.g. IB, AQA, EDEXCEL, OCR and OCR MEI). My teaching styles are modern and exciting.

I was a fulltime lecturer at Oaklands College (Herts) for over 10 years. I have taught many subjects ranging from GCSE Maths to A2 level Further Maths. I have taught subjects such as Physics, Electronics, Computer Science, IT and Engineering upto A2 and HNC level. As a lecturer I was the lead in providing mathematics and software engineering courses which require teaching core syllabuses upto and including HND level.

My interest in teaching full-time extended to teaching Privately to help those who have either difficulty in understanding or wishing to apply to top universities such as Oxford and Cambridge. Many of my private students benefited by obtaining excellent grades such as A and Bs.

I have taught children from 10-15 years of age privately. I have experience in teaching adults and one of my students was 87 years old! All of my students have found me very pleasant and easy to communicate. I teach in a simple to understand and easy to follow approach. I make the lessons exciting and tailored for students needs. My experience has taught me to focus on building confidence, be positive and above all enjoy what you learn. Once the student–teacher relationship is established, I work hard to ensure the student progresses. I enjoy tutoring and seeing my students get grades above what they expected.
