Tutoring method
My methods combine over 10 years of teaching experience. They are personalised to each learner and informed by evidence-based research.
Desired outcomes are always discussed before sessions are planned. Sessions are unique to each learner and specific to identified outcomes.
I use a wide variety of teaching techniques that enable rapid progress. Typically, activities include a mix of verbal, written and online tasks. Strategies include concise explanations, skilful questioning, retrieval practice and application to unfamiliar scenarios.
Personalised and actionable feedback is used to accelerate student progress. Alongside highlighting strengths and weaknesses, it communicates exactly what needs to be done next.
I aim to foster effective study habits each session, helping students to understand how they learn and which techniques maximise productivity. I work to ensure that students leave each session empowered to continue consolidating and building on their learning.
Sessions can be online or in person at the learner’s home, if local
Local areas include: Gosforth, Longbenton, Benton, Killingworth, Jesmond, Heaton and Fenham.
Reviews
"Excellent tuition that made a real difference to my exam performance. Complex topics were explained clearly, and the focus on exam technique helped me understand exactly what examiners were looking for. I felt much more prepared going into my A-Level exams."

"Before starting tuition, I found Biology overwhelming and struggled to know what to focus on when revising. The sessions helped me break topics down into manageable sections and showed me how to answer exam questions effectively.
