As primary school teacher, I teach all subjects in the primary curriculum, but for the purpose of tutoring I prefer to teach English, Maths, Science and ICT up to KS2.

Tell me about your qualifications.

Specialist Teachers' Certificate in English, awarded by the University of Cape Coast, Ghana
Advanced Diploma in Education from the Institute of Education, University of London.
MA in Education awarded by the Institute of Education, University of London.

I have taught in both primary and secondary schools in Ghana and Nigeria, and have taught in the UK for over twenty years.

How much do you charge?
I charge £25 per hour + £2.50 for travelling.

Where do you teach?
I prefer to travel to student/pupil's homes. I teach in and around East London- Hackney, Waltham Forest and Haringay.

When are you available?
I am available in the evenings on weekdays, and daytime on Saturdays. I may consider teaching during daytime on Sundays as well. During school holidays, I prefer to do all my teaching in the daytime.

Which ages and levels do you teach?
I teach both Key Stage 1 & 2. I can teach English as a second language to KS3 students and adults.

Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?
Key Stage 2 SATs, 11+ and Common Entrance Exams.

Yes, and is available for inspection.

Do you have a personal message for students?
I have worked in an Inner London school as a class teacher in key stage 2 for the past 20 years, and have had additional responsibilities as an Age Phase Leader in the Upper KS2 and as a Subject Leader. My commitment to my pupils has always been very apparent. My enthusiasm for teaching clearly impacts on pupils’ progress and enjoyment. My end of term assessments and target setting clearly demonstrate good pupil progress across the ability ranges. I assure my students that with hard work from both of us, there is no exam/test I can't help them pass.
