I am currently a member of senior management for a global professional services firm (one of the big 4 global accountancy firms). I have previously had employment with three of the big 4 global accountancy firms and a FTSE 50 retailer [within Group Financial Reporting]. Other positions I have held include being an examiner for a leading UK exam board and a governor at a primary school.
I am hard working, committed, punctual, patient, calm, friendly, organised and manage my time well. I have a passion for learning and encouraging others to succeed. My success in tuition has been as a result of my ability in instilling this into others.
The qualifications relevant to the subjects I teach are:
- GCSE: Maths (A*), Double Science (A*)
- A Level: Accounting (A), Maths (A), Business Studies (A). Note - at the time I sat the exams, A was the highest grade available. The A* grade at A Level was introduced later. I achieved a higher mark in A Level Business Studies than an A Level Principal Examiner who attempted the same exams.
- BSc (Hons) Accounting & Finance (First Class) at the University of Warwick.
- Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ACA) qualification
In addition to the subjects listed, I also provide tuition for accounting and careers-related advice (including practise for online tests, interviews and assessment centres).

Tutoring Approach:
My teaching approach includes teaching topics in accordance with the relevant specification and focusing on identifying topics that the tutee needs to improve upon.
I am able to develop excellent relationships with tutees to create an environment where they are encouraged to ask as many questions as possible. The fundamental aim is to enable tutees to enjoy the subject, which optimises the probability of success. I attempt to achieve this by making the lessons interesting, relevant & interactive, and by encouraging and praising the performance of the tutee to enhance motivation and confidence.
I am thorough in my assessment of the grade that a tutee is likely to attain. I have extensive question banks which I utilise throughout the course of lessons and homeworks. I have the ability to impart my knowledge of what the examiners are seeking from a candidate and what type of answers are required. Therefore, I am able to offer valuable insights and analysis into how a tutee can achieve the optimal grades based upon my interaction with examiners and my consistent academic success. |
