Following the widespread school closures brought on by the Coronavirus pandemic, I have set up a very affordable tutoring service for those of you who are still looking for educational assistance, especially with regards to exam prep et al.
Due to these exceptional circumstances, I am offering services at a price not normally found in the tutoring industry.
I am a former student at Buxton Community School and am now reading Philosophy and Theology at the University of St Andrews. I have informal experience tutoring locally and I am a registered tutor with MyTutor.
I offer a free consulting session in which we discuss what I offer as a tutor, my aims and my strategies in order to help you make an informed decision on whether you’d like to proceed with my tutoring service. I tutor GCSE English literature, history, and religious studies, and A Level English Literature and Philosophy.
If this does at all interest you, please do not hesitate to touch base with me on my page.
