About Simon

- What kind of experience do you have?

I have been tutoring since January 2008 and have worked with over 150 students in that time. The majority of these students have been GCSE and AS and A2 students. I have also worked in a school as both a maths teacher and a one-to-one tutor.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

Yes. This is an enhanced disclosure, the same as any teacher would have. I am happy to provide this for inspection upon request.

- Where and with whom did you train?

University of Warwick (1996-2000)
Cranfield University (2003-2004)

- Tell me about some of your current students.

I teach students from comprehensive, private and grammar schools. I also have experience in lesson planning as three of my students did not attend formal maths lessons (for differing reasons) so I had to design schemes of work for them. Favourite students... I really don't have any! But I always admire the ones who really try hard despite not really enjoying the subject or the ones who are really inquisitive about the subject.

About the lesson

  • All Levels

All languages in which the lesson is available :

English

Experienced, successful maths tutor, having had considerable success in helping pupils to pass the 11+ and attain the grades they want and need to access FE and HE.

- Which subject(s) do you teach?

Mathematics and Statistics. From 11+ preparation through to A-level, including 13+, GCSE, AS level, Further Maths, AEA and STEP. I have also worked with trainee teachers who are taking the QTS Skills Tests and I have helped trainee teachers access their course by helping them prepare for their equivalency tests.

- Tell me about your qualifications.

I have a Maths degree from the University of Warwick (2:1 MMath Hons obtained in 2000). This is a four year course - essentially a BSc with an extra year added on at the end which allows students more scope to investigate a broader range of subjects or develop a deeper understanding of certain topics.
I also hold a master's level qualification in Manufacturing from Cranfield University and a Preparing to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector qualification.

- How much do you charge?

£25 per hour with a £5 travelling fee if I travel outside of Stratford upon Avon.
Discounts for pre-paid blocks of lessons, and small group tuition are available.

- Where do you teach?

At my home or at the student's home. I generally only accept older students (Yr 11 and older) in my home. I teach in and around Stratford upon Avon mainly. But I also travel around South Warwickshire including Alcester, Welford on Avon, Bidford on Avon, Temple Grafton, Ardens Grafton, Broom, Barton, Langley, Bearley, Ettington, Clifford Chambers, Wootton Wawen, Henley in Arden, Alderminster, Wellesbourne and Snitterfield. I am willing to travel up to 10 miles outside of Stratford.

- When are you available?

I am available weekdays during the day as well as the evening, though my weekday evening availability is generally very limited, especially coming up to busy exam periods.

*** AVAILABILITY 11/05/2012 ***
Daytime availability is now starting to drop as study leave starts. Please do not hesitate if you are looking for some help.
Weekday evening and weekend slots will become available as A-level exams finish over the next few weeks. WATCH THIS SPACE!
I will be available throughout the half term week, w/c June 4th, which falls just prior to the GCSE exams. I am currently taking bookings for this week.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

Preparation for 11+ up to adult learners and all levels in between. With regard to A-level modules, I can help with Core 1, 2, 3 and 4; Mechanics 1 and 2; Statistics 1 and 2; Decision 1 and 2. I am also able to help with Further Maths (FP1, FP2, FP3 and FP4), AEA and STEP papers.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

GCSE (linear and modular routes), Additional Maths, AS, A2, AEA, STEP. 11+ and 13+ entrance exams. This includes all the main exam boards. A-level modules include C1, C2, C3, C4, M1, M2, S1, S2, D1, D2, FP1, FP2, FP3 and FP4.

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.

Please contact me for details. I use Skype and Blackboard Collaborate and can give you a free demonstration.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

Tutoring is not like normal maths lessons. I expect you to work hard - you won't just sit back and listen to me for an hour. The more you do the more you will get out of our time together and the more you will enjoy them. Don't be afraid of making mistakes - it's all part of the learning process and don't worry if you don't understand something straight away. It often takes time for our brains to make sense of new ideas, concepts and knowledge. I will try to explain things differently if you don't understand it first time and I am always very patient.
