- Do you have a personal message for students?
Having recently been awarded a degree, revision and examinations are still very much a recent memory. Therefore, I believe I am suitably qualified in understanding the stress and anxiety exams and revision can cause. Even in adulthood, the experience of sitting an exam is daunting and stressful to say the least. Through my tuition, I will equip students with the necessary techniques to get through their examinations with as little stress and anxiety as possible, and help them achieve the grades they deserve. My personal message for students is that if you are studying a subject that genuinely engages you, then you are half way there. I will help you translate your interest in the subject into what examiners really want to see.

Simon tutored my son in Politics and he achieved an A* at A2. Simon helped a lot with exam technique and gave him the confidence to improve from a B in the mock exam. He was reliable and came well prepared for the lessons.
