- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
Tutorials online are conducted using Skype and Scribblar (an interactive white board used by both myself and my student). I use various resources including animations that I have carefully chosen to aid students' understanding and recall.
- Do you have a personal message for students?
All my students have commented that I quickly put them at ease and identify the stumbling blocks they have in Maths or Science. I then build their knowledge and correct misconceptions. I believe that students need to get a clear picture of what they are learning in their head, and use structured questions to lead students to the answers rather than simply telling them, so that they are much more likely to remember them.
I include problem solving, exam technique and confidence building exercises in all tutorials, and so students make very rapid progress. I firmly believe that all students can achieve and drive students to be their best, all in a friendly and supportive approach that makes learning enjoyable.

Austin is very reliable, and very professional. In just a few weeks we can already see the improvement in understanding our son has of chemistry. He now understands the subject better and enjoys it more. I would fully recommend Austin. (A Level Chemistry)
We employed Austin for my year 11 daughter, to enable her to gain confidence and obtain a better than predicted grade in her IGCSE Maths. Austin is an excellent tutor, always reliable, punctual, straight down to lessons and clearly explaining the topic to be dealt with. He's very thorough and has a patient, friendly attitude, which my daughter found comfortable and at ease with. Would definitely recommend Austin for you tutoring needs. (IGCSE Maths)
My son has found the on line tutoring provided by Austin easy to use and we feel it is an effective and efficient way to access support in preparation for examinations.
We are very pleased with the tutoring our son has received, Austin has taken the time to listen to what we feel our son's needs are and has developed a very positive tutor/student relationship with our son.
I would highly recommend Austin and online tutoring. (GCSE Chemistry and Physics)Austin is a calm and patient teacher, I might not of got the good grades in my maths and science GCSE's without him and I am very lucky to have him help me through my chemistry A Level! Anybody looking for that extra push to the finish line, I would highly recommend Austin! (GCSE Maths and Chemistry, A Level Chemistry)
Austin has been teaching maths to both my son and daughter. My son has completed his GCSE's last year and gained a very good grade. He is always pushing my daughter hard to achieve the best grade possible. He has helped her to move from a grade D to a strong C. He challenges her to think beyond just the answer. He also knows her strengths and weaknesses very well. He keeps us informed fully and is very well organised. Thank you very much. (GCSE Maths and Science)
Austin has been teaching my daughter and niece now for approximately 6 months. In that time they have moved from a D to a C and are on their way to achieving B's when they take their GCSE's later this year.Always pleasant and very approachable, Austin is very patient when teaching the girls and willing to go over and revisit subjects again. He checks for understanding and provides homework which they work through together.(GCSE Maths)
We are very happy with the maths tutoring that Austin was able to give our daughter, aged 16 yrs, at very short notice, to help support her with her Maths exam. Austin is punctual, friendly and my daughter felt comfortable with him. Thank you Austin for fitting us in at short notice and helping Charlotte to feel more confident with her Maths. (Functional Maths)
We were delighted with Austin's professional approach and friendly manner. We would definitely recommend him to anybody. (A Level Chemistry)
