Tutoring Information

I am a PGCE and BSc Hons in Environment Studies and Business Administration from Nottingham Trent University 1999 and 2000.

I have been a private tutor from 2007 to 2012 when the Educational Maintenance Allowance was paid to students - and have many students who gained improved grades in the Case Study and Controlled Assessment Specification Days, particularly in Business Studies.

I believe that now A Levels are linear and two years of study is required prior to examination its more important than ever to structure learning and benefit from a One to One or 2-3 shared students for at least one hour per week.

I have also worked in one of Europe's largest Companies and have a wide experience of Business in the local area.

Teaching Experience: I have taught in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire Local Education Authority Schools.

Tutoring Approach: I am very structured and wish students to have a thorough knowledge of the theory (which becomes the subject language and short form of Communication -and without which good grades are impossible) of their subject. To this end I am prepared to make lessons -tutor time - interesting with top company information in the case of Business Studies - and also work through the recommended text books.

For BTECs and Tech levels (some vocational subjects are moving to Tech levels with the possibility of Applied Business Studies being included) evidenced work is part of the Specification and yet theory is still an essential part of the syllabus and specification.

For other Vocational Studies – Key Skills are very important and these can be included in Tutoring sessions either together with a particular subject or specifically Key Skills.

Younger Students (Junior Over8s and to Qualifications commencing Year 9-10) – I have successfully tutored students in English and Maths to ensure those skills are practiced so the student can have the reading and writing competences necessary for further study.


Qualifications: Nottingham Trent University (2000) -Secondary - Business Studies and ICT (PGCE)
