A bit about Tim C

Tim has taught Maths and English in England, Africa and Australia. Most of his time has been spent teaching Maths up to A-level, and English up to GCSE. He has several hundred hours of tutoring experience, both online and face-to-face. I love the rapport that develops when I am teaching. I have taught many subjects but I always prefer the subjects that relate to my teaching qualification, (as a Secondary School Maths Teacher, with English as my second subject). I normally start with a short chat a a 'warm-up', (and I don't mean jumping up and down!). Many of my students are preparing for exams in a few months, so I normally set the agenda according to their requests. This may mean working through past exam papers, or revising important theory. If the student is learning new theory, I slow down, and I am very thorough. My mission is to give lessons of the highest quality lessons and to make them enjoyable. I used to tutor alongside my busy life as a Maths Teacher in schools. I enjoyed the tutoring so much, I now spend more time tutoring than teaching in schools! I am thorough but friendly My exam students just love the good results they get. Younger students enjoy the fun they have whilst learning. My greatest success recently was helping an A level student get into Medical School. They had mock exam results of D,D,D, and around 4 months later got into medical school with A,A and A. I also coached and mentored this student with study skills. I am a UK-qualified Secondary School Maths Teacher, with a 'second subject' specialisation in English. My original degree was in Engineering Science from the University of Exeter. I taught classes of 50 in Zimbabwe when I was 18. I loved it! I love playing and watching most sports. I love cooking, and I am a qualified chef. I have taught all the major UK boards. I have taught Edexcel and Cambridge IGCSEs, and helped around 6 students prepare for the American University Entrance Exam.
