Personal Message: Hello! I enjoy teaching all students levels of Maths, English, Reading, Writing and Art. My extensive work experience includes England, America and Taiwan in the educational sector.
Which subject(s) do you teach?: Maths, English, Art (drawing, painting, ceramics, photograpy, sculpture) and theatre acting.
Tell me about your qualifications.: I have a Bachelors (Hons) degree in Fine Art (practical and theory) from Leeds University
My BTEC diploma in Further education teaching is from Calderdale College, Halifax
What kind of experience do you have?: My educational background is in art and theatre (10+ years) and my professional background is in education and business (8 years). I also teach English to children and foreign students/adults in college and university from South East Asia who are looking to improve their conversation and writing skills.

I work as a teaching assitant with years 3,4 and 5 children with comprehension, reading and maths. I teach in an after school arts club and I have also worked as a teaching assitant with Nursery and year 2 children. I have also taught a year 11 art class in a reputable north London school and spent 2 months assisting in year 7 and above classes. I have 8 years experience acting in theatre productions ranging from musicals to Shakespeare (small to lead roles).
How much do you charge?: I charge £15 per half hour and £25 per hour per person (travel expenses included in these prices). I only do group lessons in art and theatre acting. The same prices apply.
Where do you teach?: I teach at home or at students' homes. I live in Turnpike Lane (just below Wood Green). The area it's in is called Haringey and I'm willing to travel 1 hour away by tube.
When are you available?: I'm available in the day time after 4pm and in the evenings. During school holidays I'm very flexible in teaching during the day.
Which ages and levels do you teach?: I teach from year 2 all the way through to university level. I also teach mature students.
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?: G.C.S.E, A-Level, Foundation Art and BA Degree.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?: Yes.
Tell me about some of your current students.: One of my maths students who I am currently teaching is an 8 year old boy (year 4) in a Hampstead school. He has moved from America so there are educational differences in the England curriculum.

One of my art students is in their mid-30's and is starting to learn to draw and appreciate art from the most basic level. They go to portrait and life drawing classes.

I teach a dyslexic 12 year old boy that needs help to improve his English, reading and writing skills. My youngest student is 6 and is preparing for a 7+ entrance exam into a central London prep school.
Do you have a personal message for students?: I graduated in 2003 so whatever level you are at I have an extensive collection of books and materials to expand your interests. I teach all my students with patience and understanding so I'll make sure you 'get it' in the end : )

My Articles

Life drawing and Ceramics

I recommend reading books about Leonardo da Vinci to further your knowledge about life drawing and composition to do with the human form. Picasso also experimented in a lot of ceramics and this is something which surprised me as Picasso is more famous for his painting.

My Testimonials

Mr. Oliver Becket has been tutoring my 9 year old son for 5 months and has proved to be an invaluable support. Our son is transitioning from the American school system to the British school system, and the new system follows a markedly different, and more advanced, curriculum.
- Sylvie Lockhart

Oliver has helped our son not only to master key concepts but also to remain confident and not to become discouraged by the challenge. I recommend him without reservation to any parent whose child requires additional support in mathematics.
