Using my knowledge and experience of having taught all ages of the Primary Curriculum - from Nursery to Primary 7 - along with my passion for working with children, I strive to provide the very best level of teaching and learning for every individual I work with. I believe that building solid basic foundations in Literacy and Numeracy gives children the tools to access the wider curriculum with confidence. Tapping into and understanding the ways in which each individual child learns and progresses is key. Every child is an individual, therefore every lesson is tailored to the child, ensuring the right balance of success and challenge is met in each session, thus developing knowledge, skills and most importantly confidence for the child. Getting to know children and building a rapport with each individual is paramount, as is understanding the way in which the each child learns best - through active learning, written methods, talking, listening, reading, watching, doing. The initial tutorial session will be exploratory, consulting with parents to discuss the child’s requirements and areas needing more support and development. I use a variety of resources during tutorial sessions to aid and reinforce teaching points - for example, magnetic alphabetic letters and boards; flash cards; Dienes hundreds, tens and units cubes; Numicon; Seal Maths; Jolly Phonics; Oxford Reading Tree books; Read, Write, Inc resources; Schofield & Sims and CGP workbooks. Each tutorial session starts with a welcoming ‘check-in’ as to how the child is feeling that day and how their day has been, so that I can gauge the expectation for the session. I usually ask if there is anything in particular that the child wants to work on during the session - for example, there may be something that has been introduced in class at school that day/week that the child found confusing or difficult and wants specific help with or further explanation. I would then suggest a plan and learning intention / goal for our tutorial session that day. Teaching would then take the form of practical, written and oral work, ensuring understanding and comprehension as the lesson progresses. The pace of the lesson is very much tailored by my professional judgement and intuition as to how the child is responding and interpreting the work we are doing. A plenary at the end of the session to recap what we have worked on during that session and ensure understanding, is always extremely valuable. In consultation with parents, some request homework for their children, which I am happy to assign and mark. Weekly sessions are most successful, ensuring continuity and progression at a greater pace.
I'm a native speaker of the English language, and I have been teaching for 22 years. I teach English language (Grammar, Creative Writing, Comprehension, Spelling, Poetry), Reasoning (Verbal, Non-Verbal, Critical), Mathematics (Key Stages 1 & 2), and 11-plus exams preparation.
I tutor remotely in all the above subjects, Handwriting (Modern manuscript), and Yoruba language.
Sounds, scents, and sweets are my muses; I use music and trending topics to spice up my teaching sessions. I use the principles of neuroscience to ensure mastery in my learners.
My enthusiasm and joie d'vivre are infectious.
I have a track record of improved performance and confidence in my children and adult learners.
I've worked with tutoring kids and teenagers over the years, I help build their confidence in themselves as it seems to be the bigger problem. Once the confidence is built, they are open to learning more about the subject they're struggling in. I can help them improve their language, grammar and performance in the needed subject and help them tackle the issues they're facing.

At secondary school I already loved maths and to a lessor extent science as questions always had definitive solutions which were not dependant on a teacher’s opinion or beliefs. I initially found it exciting to be able to consistently find the correct answer then to tackle increasing more difficult problems. I found that there was a consistency to maths which meant once you understood the topic difficult problems could be solved in a similar way to simpler ones. I was lucky I grew up in a place and with a family who were of an engineering background so a STEM career for me made sense to them but I was aware of many of my peers whose parents and friends steered them away from STEM due to gender. My engineering career has taken me to offshore oilfields, onshore drilling pads and LNG plants all male dominated environments but they do not need to be. During my career in energy I have found myself complimented by my managers and mentors on my ability to make clear and concise presentations and explanations a skill which I transfer to my teaching. I have used this ability to support pupils with difficulty in maths and who have gone on to achieve better secondary certificates than was predicted when they left primary school. Maths is a subject where a toolbox of tools is taught which are them applied in problem solving to increase analytical ability. Each tool mastered can increase a student’s confidence in their ability to master the rest and then to solve increasingly complex problems. .

I've always been interested in Maths and Physics which has led me to gain a deep grasp of both subjects; achieving A 1s in Maths and Physics at both Nat5 and higher. I plan to go onto study Physics at university (ideally at oxford) and eventually become a theoretical physicist.
My name is John and i personally believe education is one of the most important things and want to make sure everyone has the best chances possible, over the last year or so i have helped tutor people in SQA N5 Maths, RMPS, Biology, English and i intend on providing these services next year and im looking to branch out to other people in need and support them to the end of the year to achieve what they are more than capeable of.
As a parent you know how important education is to your child's future. But that's not all. You want to see your child develop confidence and self-esteem. More than anything you want to see your child happy. At S., we understand the fundamental value of nurturing and developing every child’s potential to the utmost.
