Four key reasons
01
An examiner's perspective
As an experienced examiner one can quickly see with pinpoint precision which skills a student needs to focus on to raise their final grade.
02
Successful track record
PGCE qualified with 21 years teaching experience and 14 years tutoring experience delivering excellent exam results. My portfolio of teaching methods are used with equal success in tutoring.
03
Tailored tutoring advice
My tutoring focuses on the learner's specific needs and with a clear focus on how s/he can access high marks given the exam board's mark scheme approach for Business and Economic exams. This is because the five main boards for Economics and Business don't mark scripts in the same way.
04
Diagnostic-led approach
The first tutoring session includes a diagnostic assessment of student needs. This paves the way for implementing a clear action plan for raising student attainment.
