About William

- What kind of experience do you have?

The majority of my experience centres upon exam preparation for 11+, 13+, GCSE and A Level, though I also home-­‐school students outside mainstream education and deliver academic assessments. I also train other tutors. I have more than 6000 hours of experience, working with a huge range of students, and even trainee teachers. As well as exam preparation I also enjoy engaging students with fun, hands-on science experiments and practicals that help to nurture genuine interest in the STEM subjects.

- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?

I have an up-to-date DBS (less than 12 months old)

- Do you belong to any professional organisations?

I am a member of the Tutor's Association

- How much do you charge?

My rates vary depending on location, level and time of day. My base rate of £70/hour is available during the school hours for term-time either at my house or online. Prices increase for outside school hours, the further I have to travel and a variety of other factors. Please contact me direct for a quote.

- Where do you teach?

I am happy for students to come to me or to travel to them or an agreed third party location (such as a library or coffee shop). The further I have to travel the higher the fee charged. For locations nearby London such as in Kent, Essex, Surry, Sussex, Buckinghamshire, Hertfordshire, Oxfordshire, Hampshire, Bedfordshire and Berkshire I tend to offer day visits or longer where I stay with the family (or in a nearby hotel/B&B) with day rates starting at £350. I am also happy to travel abroad with families with day rates starting at £400.

- When are you available?

Due to high demand my availability is currently restricted to a few slots in the week outside school hours. Inside school hours I have a lot more availability to offer. Also due to a high volume of long-term students I cannot offer any long term residentials at this time. Please contact me to find out if I have availability that could work for you.

- Which ages and levels do you teach?

Please refer to the subjects taught section for a breakdown of the levels and ages I generally teach. This is not an exhaustive list so please feel free to contact me as I am always open to broadening the range of qualifications I teach.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

see above

- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.

I ask students to sign up for a piece of software called Webex which allows for a shared screen and uploaded resources to be used. As my pc does not have a webcam we generally use a separate skype call to communicate. As online meeting platforms are notoriously prone to losing connections the skype call allows for the lesson to continue even if the Webex lesson disconnects.

- Do you have a personal message for students?

I am not like a teacher. I am not like a parent. My only goals are to help you get better at the things you struggle with or to help you flourish in the subjects you have a talent for. When we work together we go at your pace so you never get left behind and we speed up when you are finding it easy so you never get bored. You can always ask any question you like without fear of embarrassment or worrying the teacher will have a go at you for not paying attention. I am patient, encouraging and sometimes even make students laugh (Well, sometimes they are just taking the mickey out of me!). Even if I can't make the subject you need to learn fun I will at least make it easier.
