Age Range & Subjects
Age Range
I teach ages 8 to 18. Every age provides its challenges and rewards.
My structured approach to exams helps my students to reach their potential. This involves ensuring that essential notes are in place, the whole syllabus has been covered, there are no gaps in understanding, and exam technique has been perfected.
Some children require a short targeted boost whilst others need support throughout their entire academic career. In many cases I have taught all of the children within a family, making lasting friendships. In fact, recently I helped an ex-student write a CV for their first job application, whilst another has invited me to their wedding!
