Personal Message
I have lots of experience working with students of all ages. I am a qualified paediatric occupational therapist and lecturer and have worked in nursery schools, special schools and universities.
Which subject(s) do you teach?
I am a sociologist by profession but my main subject for tutoring is English at all levels, social sciences and basic maths.
Tell me about your qualifications.
I have a Diploma in Occupational Therapy (specialising in paediatrics), a BA (Hons) in Health Sciences, MA in Sociological Research in Health Care and a doctorate (PhD) in Sociology from Warwick University. I am currently an Honorary Research Fellow and Covenor of the Research and Policy Centre for the Study of Wellbeing in Communities at the University of Winchester, in Hampshire.
What kind of experience do you have?
I have taught at universities, including the Open University, and from 2001 to 2009 I was a Senior Lecturer at the University of Winchester, where I am still an Honorary Research Fellow. I have taught sociology, health and social care and community development at degree level, and I also spent a lot of time with first-year students working on their study skills, including essay-writing, time-management, and adjusting to the style of university education. I have worked with many adults returning to learning as well as with teenagers. I have home-educated my own daughter at primary-school level, and I have a son currently studying at Cambridge University.
How much do you charge?
Charges vary between £15 to £45 per hour, depending on the age of the individual being tutored (whether a young child, older child or teenager, or adult) and the specific demands of the subject. Prices (effective from June 2011) include lesson planning, resources and individual pupil tracking. I can offer up to a 20% discount for a block-booking of five weeks or more.
Where do you teach?
I teach from home. I live near Broadwindsor in West Dorset, approximately 6 miles north of Bridport and about 4 miles from Beaminster. I may be able to travel to students' homes if necessary. Please contact me to discuss.
When are you available?
I am available for tutoring pre-school or home-educated children, or working with adults, during the day or evening. Please phone to discuss.
For sessions with children attending school or college, I am available between 4pm and 7pm during weekdays, and 9am to 12noon on Saturdays.
Which ages and levels do you teach?
I am available to teach children of all ages and abilities, including children with special educational needs or gifted and talented children. I am also available to work with adults.
Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
I can prepare students for their 11+ exams, GCSEs, A levels, University entrance and degree-level study.
Do you have an up-to-date CRB (Criminal Records Bureau) disclosure certificate?
Yes. I have an Enhanced CRB Disclosure certificate.
Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I am available to tutor online, working with students by email and supported by telephone (land-line only) as required.
Do you belong to any professional organisations?
I am a long-term member of UCU and the British Sociological Association.
Do you have a personal message for students?
Every student is different and has a unique set of needs and wishes. Please phone to discuss your situation so that together we can explore what help you require and how I may be able to support your learning.
