Tell me about some of your current students.
I have 7 students at the moment for whom I teach Maths, Physics, English and Science. I teach Numeracy, Science and Literacy to the two youngest students who are at KS1 and KS2 levels. Most of my other students are at GCSE level for whom I teach Maths and Physics. I enjoy teaching and I give them weekly homework set for each day (they would dedicate about 20 – 30 minutes a day for the homework). This is done in order to aid them in areas where they struggle. Each homework sheet is exclusively made for each student depending on their individual level.

Also, I am a teacher at the Sunday school at the Parish of Our Most Holy Redeemer, Clerkenwell. The age range of the students varies from 4 year olds up to 16 year olds. I enjoy teaching them about religion and find the activities and teaching interesting.

Do you have a personal message for students?
You may find some subjects very interesting and easy. You may find some subjects boring and difficult. Perhaps you may also find that you are interested in a subject but try as you may, you can't understand it! We all are different individuals and our tastes may differ. So it is not an unusual thing if you get low marks for one subject and very high marks for the other. Never get discouraged. If YOU decide that you want a good grade in a subject, nobody can stop you.

If you feel that you neither understand nor interested in a particular subject but you are doing it just because it is compulsory, you must understand that there is probably a very good reason why it is compulsory. If you learn under protest, it is going to burn a lot of your energy. On the other hand, if you decide to give it a go even when you don't like the subject, you will be creating positive energy for yourself. You may discover how surprisingly easy you will find that particular subject once you give it a chance!

So here I am to help you if you are struggling in Maths, Physics, English or Science. If you are willing to learn I will try my best to help you achieve your goal. Good luck all of you with your studies!
