A well organised mind is much more adept at problem solving because it grants students the ability to take a step back and see the bigger picture.

During my course of teaching I have helped many struggling students achieve their choice grades, I am firm, friendly and committed to my work. I have an innovative capacity to ensure that impressive results are achieved from my students. 

I hope to instill a genuine interest in the subjects! Once that interest is sparked it becomes much easier for students to motivate themselves, a skill which will help them extract as much joy as possible from all their future learning. I believe it is equally important to instill a sense of organisation into my students. Not just in the practical sense of effective note taking and filing but also in relation to a students ability to organize their own thoughts.

I help my students to do this by talking often and in depth with them about problem solving in general and how we can apply the same techniques across a huge range of subjects and questions.

I also like to engage my students in conversations that take us well beyond the sometimes restrictive syllabus.
