Teaching style and philosophy

I am a published writer and teacher from London. I have been working as a pastoral care teacher, university lecturer and private tutor for over five years, with students ranging from the age of 8 to 38. I have tutored over forty students and every single one has passed their exam or gotten
into their institution of choice. I am from a family of teachers, and spreading my enthusiasm for learning is central to my approach. I believe that while it is vital to know how to take tests and learn exam techniques, it is equally important to develop a genuine interest in the world around you and the subjects you study. I always hope to pass on some of my passion and help my students develop confidence and articulacy as well as writing skills. I am patient, clear and fun and I’m able to constantly adapt to each individual student’s needs.
