I'm available at any time during the weekends, and on all weekday evenings from 5.30 to 11pm.

I teach students of all ages, though primarily at GCSE level and above.

I prepare my students for all exams from Key Stage 3, up to and including Masters Degree level subjects.

Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?

Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
Online tutoring will be done via Skype. It is important that the monies paid, are deposited to my Paypal account prior to the lesson commencing. A contract will also need to be signed by the student, or their parent/guardian.

Do you belong to any professional organisations?
No

Tell me about some of your current students.
My students at the moment consist of a mixture of undergraduate and A-Level students. They have passed their exams satisfactorily, and I look forward to seeing them again in September. I've also had a good deal of experience working with students with learning difficulties and distressed circumstances, and I like to think I've made a positive impact in their moving forward. I recently completed a research project in collaboration with a student of mine relating to how the Russian oligarchy impact the Russian economy, and its place in the global market.

Do you have a personal message for students?
I am sure that you will find me very friendly and personable, but above all, focused, firm, and intent on helping you achieve your objectives. I look forward to hearing from you!
