My background

I am experienced teacher/tutor with a proven record in improving achievement in pupils in both personal and academic areas. I am a keen sportsman and particularly enjoy sailing, golf and music. I play the trombone in a local brass band. I have now closed my Education Centre in Guildford and live on South Coast.
I have been tutoring Maths and English for 6 - 16 year olds for the last 20 plus years and I really enjoy helping students to enjoy and be successful with these subjects. Whether they are struggling or want a greater understanding I can help. I have had considerable success helping GCSE students who were struggling particularly in the 3-6 range, but enjoy tutoring at all levels.
