About
I am an experienced PE Teacher for over 20 years and have been tutoring for 15. I am motivated in ensuring the students I work with are successful and and adaptive to the support they may need. I also have experience in working with students with Special educational needs as well.
My pragmatic approach focuses on exam practice and ensuring the young people I work with have a clear understanding of the requirements of the qualification they are studying. I am confident in delivering all GCSE and A level specifications and have success in supporting students in all.
I also have extensive experience at supporting students in their BTEC Sport qualifications as well as supporting those at degree level.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Shane B.'s First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

Shane is lovely and very knowledgeable. My daughter is doing her GCSEs this year and the exam questions can be quite overwhelming, specially with them being the new spec and even the teachers don’t really know what to expect yet. Shane has been going through old papers, talking through the questions together with my daughter. Helping her with the extra facts she might have missed out in her answers or explaining things that might come across unclear. My daughter is really enjoying the sessions, and felt they really helped her with her mocks. She is dyslexic which makes exam times stressful but With Shane’s help she felt she had some great tools in ow to break down questions, understanding exactly what they asked about and how to gain as many points as possible with her answers.

Shane is very well organised. He spent time going through what my son had done to identify gaps in his learning and has adapted his teaching to my sons abilities. We are happy with the service Shane is providing us.

Shane has and still is a very committed teacher to my son. His teaching skills are outstanding. He is very patient and understanding. He has a very honest approach to both student and parents. I could not recommended Shane more highly for anyone looking for help with c and b recs. As a parent my money has and is being well spent with Shane and I would highly recommend him .

I couldn't recommended Shane enough to any student / parent who is looking for a tutor to boast confidence and get you on track. Shane is very flexible and accommodating. Nothing is too much and that has shown through the massive progress my son has made in his studies. A big thank you Shane!

Shane has been tutoring my son for two weeks now and it is obvious the big improvement my son is making already. Shane's professional yet friendly attitude makes it easier for my son to connect with him.
