/ Katie J.
Hi I'm Katie! I have recently finished my Bachelor's Degree of French and English literature at Cardiff University and I'm expected to achieve a First or a high 2:1. I am eager to help those who have missed out on their education during these unprecedented times. Due to the current climate, I will only be able to offer online lessons via Skype, Zoom etc. Hopefully, once these restrictions are eased I will be available for face-to-face tutoring. Last year, I moved abroad by myself to Toulouse and Paris which helped me to gain a great understanding of the French culture and language. I studied at a French university and also worked as a teaching assistant for French teenagers at a secondary school for 6 months. I was also babysitting two French girls aged 9-11 helping them with their English and French homework I've volunteered in a primary school for 3 months which was unfortunately cut short due to the pandemic. So I have plenty of experience working with all sorts of age groups! I am available every day but Saturday, but I can make exceptions if needs be. Please feel free to message me if you have any more questions or would like to book an appointment :)

My mission is to help students become more confident in their English skills and to provide them with the tools and strategies for success.
A little about me in the school setting
My roles have allowed me to build on a range of areas that I have been interested in for some time. My focus on ‘pedagogy’ has been developed towards ‘praxis’ – the idea that one reflects and acts uponp ractice to transform it. What I have learnt is that a narrow focus on the classroom isn’t enough. Instead,an effective system is one which develops productive and synergistic relationships between learners,families, and the community, and that a deep understanding of the context in which you work, the locality and the culture in which learners live is crucial. I believe we have started on exciting journey here proceeding and developing positively on recent Ofsted feedback – building on those to ensure that learning really is a community endeavour in the best possible sense. My ‘curriculum’ will not stop at the door of a classroom, or the school gate but will be a transforming powerhouse for all living in the community. This, in practical terms could be parenting support in the form of coaching and peer support; providing evening classes in basic skills, parental revision classes to help them best assist their child. It could be using the school buildings as a base of local CPD provision, for meetings, for collaboration among local departments.
Hello, and thank you so much for reading my tutoring profile. For busy parents, school leaders, and occasional journalists, this opening section offers a quick summary of my professional highlights, with more details below if you’d like to know more. It would be lovely to hear from you :)

II) MY STORY SO FAR
Now for the fuller version! :) My successful teaching career so far has saw me manage some of the most challenging of UK’s classrooms for the past 20 years’+. During this time, I have consistently been ranked an inspirational grade-one “outstanding” teacher in my present school, and have delivered KS3, GCSE and A Level English, History, and Maths in the secondary and sixth-form sectors, far surpassing students’ target grades and national pass rates. Moreover, due to these outstanding results and teaching innovation that led to my lessons cited in Ofsted reports for their commitment to Equality and Diversity, I have served as Head of Department; helping us to be awarded an internal grade 1 “outstanding” rating during my tenure.
Whilst in this position, I also became Lead Internal Verifier for NEAs across the department; Lead for UCAS Applications, managing the pathway for students into top universities including Oxford and Cambridge; Lead for Departmental Higher Education Provision, in which I crafted curricula for a variety of degree level courses; and Learning Mentor for the “Gifted and Talented” Programme, that saw me guide some of the UK’s most deprived learners to become the first in their families to go to university-work which is still very close to my heart.
Furthermore, I have extensive experience of driving up educational standards within schools and colleges. Thus, as an Advanced Teaching Practitioner-tasked with developing best teaching practice, I’ve led Action Research Projects yielding invaluable data on topics such as: whether computer games can be used productively in the classroom; can Miro whiteboards better engage kinaesthetic learners, and how to increase achievement rates of learners with Protected Characteristics. Thus, through such incisive research as well as mentoring colleagues, this role saw me play a decisive role in turning around failing cohorts in some of the UK’s most challenging classrooms, improving life-chances by engaging disenchanted students and improving poor behaviour.
Furthermore, as well as my time as an examiner for a variety of GCSE/A Level exam boards, I have shown myself to be an inspirational mentor to both students and new entrants into the teaching profession. Therefore, as a teaching mentor to many new entrants on the PGCE programme, I am proud to have helped develop the next generation of the UK’s teaching talent through careful observation and support of their practice. Allied to this, I have been a mentor on the UK Government’s “Gifted and Talented” initiative. This saw me nurture the intellectual curiosity and resilience of students whose SATs results indicated great academic promise, with my guidance resulting in learners in areas of high social deprivation attaining prestigious university places at Durham and King’s College, amongst others.
Moreover, due to this long history of being a highly sought-after teacher and mentor, my educational views have been sought out if I would like to appear on national media and radio to discuss government school policy, whilst also being head-hunted to tutor the children of prominent public figures including Premiership footballers, PGA Junior golfers, England cricketers, Olympic athletes, construction tycoons, and even the family of a Nobel Prize winner, all of which has been extremely humbling.
In terms of my extracurricular activities, I am an accomplished entrepreneur. In being born into the bottom 2% of UK’s most deprived households, I have been proud to become an accomplished property developer, with my own significant UK portfolio of residential holdings and stocks, as well as being co-founder of a former nationally operating property brand. This has saw me acting as a business mentor for disadvantaged students on entrepreneurship, and how to begin their own property investment journey, which has been a real joy in guiding some of the UK’s brightest new generation of business leaders.
In my remaining spare time, I am currently engaged in the pre-reading for the start of my future PHD in International Relations, during which I will be studying the Grand Strategy of the USA and China, as they negotiate the twenty first century during a period of superpower decline. Furthermore, I enjoy travelling with my young family in Tuscany and my wife’s homeland of Mauritius, supporting my beloved Manchester United (a very interesting experience!), hiking in our home of the Malvern Hills, and playing the drums (although, not as much as I used to, with two small children!)
As my full and varied career has hopefully shown, I have a passion for using my specialisms of English, Maths, History, Biology, International Relations and Entrance Exams, taking great pride in providing the best academic and pastoral support I can, whilst hopefully being an inspirational role model for my students, as I help them forge their way in the world.
III) MY QUALIFICATIONS AND ACHIEVEMENTS
🎓 PhD (start pending) at University of Warwick - My research will analyze the decline of the US superpower and its implications for international security architecture, focusing on its great power relationship with China during this structural change. This work will lead to several International Relations articles and culminate in my first full-length book on the subject.
📜 MRes (Dist) in International Security from University of Warwick - I won academic plaudits for writing an “outstanding and genuinely original dissertation” that represented “an important contribution to existing literature in the field of International Relations.”
🏅 PGCE in Secondary Education - Ranked amongst the top trainee teachers in my year’s cohort, with outstanding feedback in academic assignments and during my placement in an area of high social deprivation.
🎓 BA (Hons) in English/History from University of Birmingham - Received special recognition for achieving academic excellence despite coming from the bottom 2% of UK families in terms of economic poverty, of which I am immensely proud.
🏆 A Levels (A in all subjects taken)* - Prize-winning student in my sixth form for most inspirational pupil and was in the top 2% of the UK for my academic results, including 100% in certain key modules.
🏢 Co-founder of a former nationally operating property brand specializing in HMO and BTL investment, consultancy, and management.
🏗️ A skilled property developer with a personal portfolio valued at circa £3.1 million, and experience as a consultant on residential and hotel renovations worth circa £16 million+.
🌟 Inspirational academic/business mentor to disadvantaged students, guiding them in the start of their entrepreneurial journey.
IV) MY EDUCATIONAL EXPERIENCE
In terms of my teaching and tutoring experience, as stated, I have 20 years’+ experience turning around some of the UK’s toughest classrooms, as well as challenging high achieving learners in the pursuit of academic excellence. This has seen me teach/tutor across the curriculum Key Stage-ranges (7-18 years), extending all the way to postgraduate level students. Whilst I have much experience in teaching learners lacking confidence and those with Special Educational Needs, my rigorous yet friendly approach is also well-suited to developing the most able pupils.
As Head of Department, I raised English and Maths pass rates with a 25% upwards leap in my opening two years, with most students achieving at least one grade above their targets, with Ofsted noting the rapid improvement. As regards my tutoring practice, my pass grades in subjects of English, Maths, History and Biology have been consistently outstanding, so that the vast majority of my tutees pass with strong academic grades, attaining entry to prestigious institutions across the globe. Thus, during the last three academic years, my tutees enjoyed superb results in my specialist subjects, with 94% reaching their target minimum grade, and 74% exceeding this mark, entering fantastic institutions including Concord College, Oxbridge, The Sorbonne, Malvern College and the University of Heidelburg, as well as world-class employers like Rolls Royce and Microsoft.
Therefore, over my career as a leading global tutor so far, I am proud to have delivered over 37,000+ lessons across 5 continents and 42 countries, from the UK to Ukraine, and beyond.
As stated previously, I also have considerable mentoring expertise, in having built my own UK property portfolio currently valued at £3.1 million from sourcing, to renovation, to letting, I have mentored many adult and teenage entrants into property investing, guiding their purchases and renovations to the overall value of £16 million, and counting. In addition to this, I have also been an informal mentor to UK gang-affiliates, tasked with persuading them to turn their lives around, and embrace the transformative potential of education, which has been among the most rewarding roles of my career thus far.
V) PARENT FEEDBACK
😊 “Jonathan is fantastic and my 15-year-old has had a big turnaround in his view of education. Now he can't wait for his lesson!”
👏 “I could not have wished for a better tutor for my son! I cannot praise Jon's enthusiasm for his subject, motivational skills, and professionalism enough.”
👍 “The biggest testimonial comes from my son, who now looks forward to and enjoys his weekly visit! Praise indeed from a teenager!”
🌟 “I have nothing but praise for Jonathan.”
🎉 “George is totally happy to see him, which is a miracle at 3pm on a Saturday!”
🏆 “Jon is a fantastic teacher—the best tutor I have ever had.”
💬 “AMAZINGLY helpful, nice, and very cooperative.”
🎓 “Thanks soooo much Jon, Ashleigh passed, she won't be doing retakes and is feeling incredibly relieved.”
🍀 “We feel lucky to have booked a place with him early on, as he seemed to be fully booked before December.”
📚 “Never passed an English test before in my whole life, then came to Jonathan with very little time for my first GCSE exam and managed to get an A for English Literature and a B for Creative Writing. 10/10.”
🤝 "Jon has a unique ability to get students on board in a short amount of time. He is quick to establish a rapport, building on trust and confidence, which makes an ideal platform for focused learning.”
💼 “He is heavily in demand, which speaks volumes in terms of his reputation, and is super knowledgeable and prepared for all elements of the syllabus.”
📈 “He went from a predicted 4/5 to an 8!!! We were extremely pleased and put this down to Jon's ability.”
💖 “I wish we had found him earlier! We highly recommend him!”
✨ “He is helpful and gifted at tutoring kids so they understand exactly what they need to change or improve on. We will be using Jon for all of our children.”
VI) SOME OF MY PROUDEST STUDENT MOMENTS
In having tutored thousands of students globally over the past 20 years, it is always hard to choose my favourite student moments. Nevertheless, here are a few, which just help to illustrate my global reach, experience, and expertise.
🏏 (Helping a Brilliant Cricketer Make the Grade): When I started tutoring this learner, confidence was low and time was short. We had to increase the GCSE English Language and Maths grades to a 6 minimum, for entry to a prestigious boarding school regarded as the cradle of many of England’s top cricketers for the national team. The time pressure was intense, as we only had 3 months to jump 3 grades. Nevertheless, with a robust study plan put in place and constant emotional support (in between the daily net sessions!), it was a wonderful moment when they received their acceptance results, with the student going on to represent the national team. Great job :)
⛳ (England’s Golf Captain Heads to the States): I began tutoring this student locally, and we bonded immediately, with each lesson always bringing much laughter due to their brilliantly dry sense of humour. With golf tournaments taking place internationally, this required much flexibility and leveraging of online learning tools to bring the required results. I was so pleased they achieved their sports scholarship at a top US university, before hopefully joining the PGA Tour. I still remain in touch when I can, and am privileged to be charting their amazing progress in the sport.
📚 (Creating an Amazing Bermudan Scholar): What began as a quick essay editing session quickly developed into a full academic partnership lasting over 5 years, during which we achieved 96% and 97% in iGCSE English Language and Literature respectively, despite sitting the exams a year early. This vast improvement led to the school offering a £28,000 scholarship to study the International Baccalaureate, and entry into the school’s elite university preparation programme. Superb work, and extremely pleasing to see such inspiring progress.
🌍 (Tutoring Sudanese Refugees Trapped in a Warzone): In one of my toughest, but most rewarding tutoring assignments, I was sought out by a family of Sudanese refugees, who’d been caught up by a recent coup. With the US embargoing the country, this meant we didn’t have access to top US tech brands like Microsoft, etc., which definitely made things tricky! Nevertheless, we ensured minimal disruption to their education throughout a very difficult political period. Now they are happily preparing to enter a European university, which was a life-changing result for them.
VII) TUTORING APPROACH
Besides enjoying superb results, my pupils benefit from a relaxed yet challenging atmosphere, with high commitment being expected of them. This is demonstrated in both their personal and academic growth, which is among the most rewarding aspects of tutoring for me. I’m very friendly with a great sense of humor (so I’ve been told!), and I use this to make the learning as enjoyable as I can, while strengthening self-esteem and exciting the minds of my students. Through this, it is more than tutoring to me; I see our time together as equipping them with the vital skills they need to excel in later life.
In terms of lesson delivery, I always strive to be on the cutting edge of education, using the latest educational technology, teaching resources, and methods. Therefore, my approach to tutoring currently makes use of the techniques of “blended learning” and utilizes the following:
🎥 Industry-standard video conferencing and modern presentation tools like Miro—used by global brands like Coca-Cola and Nike to power collaborative learning.
🌐 Powerful virtual learning environments, resourced by well-known educational companies such as Twinkl and Century Tech, to help every one of my learners maximize their potential.
🤖 Judicious use of AI-powered apps and programs to explore key educational concepts, mark schemes, and model answers.
📚 Fully personalized lessons, tailored to topics, skills, and levels being explored by the learner at school.
✍️ Interlocking homework provided, to consolidate key concepts and themes explored within each lesson.
🎮 Innovative approach to learning, from using computer games as inspirational stimuli for creative writing (which have been used as national exemplars by UK exam boards) to debating contemporary issues affecting all young people for speaking and listening tasks, such as: “How Will AI Change Humanity?”
😄 A friendly and engaging approach to learning, seeking to make it fun yet intellectually rigorous at all times.
With 20+ years of experience in the UK’s most challenging classrooms, I have constantly honed my approach to teaching and tutoring, creatively using ed-tech to ensure no learner is left behind as we cover the curriculum in an accessible and enjoyable way.
Needless to say, I am a passionate advocate of the transformational value of education, which is a joy, never a chore. Having been fortunate enough to build a property brand and investment portfolio, I now tutor primarily for the sheer enjoyment of helping develop the next generation of learners. Education enabled me to escape a childhood of abject poverty, and with this in mind, I always do my best to ensure I give each and every one of my students the best start in life I can.
If you’re looking to work with one of the leading tutors in the industry with a proven track record of academic and commercial success, then I’m happy to help.
Thank you ever so much for reading :)

Science Clinic Private Tutors was founded in 2010. Our vision was to help struggling children understand the concepts of the major subjects which are sought after by many colleges & universities. Our tutoring was mainly in the main subjects (Maths, all 3 Sciences & English Language) to exam students only. Because of the huge demand of tutoring in all year groups, we now teach students across the board from Primary (KS1 & KS2) through to GCSE, A-level and University. We were luck to have had colleagues we share the same vision with join us. Now we can teach all subjects from Primary through to GCSE, College /A-levels and Science & Maths at University level. All our teachers / tutors are graduates and qualified teachers with Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) who understand the National Curriculum. Some of them are examiners at GCSE and A-level, which means they know the exam techniques students need to answer the exam questions properly and get better grades. Within the team, we have professionals with very high qualifications ie Masters Degrees (MSc / MA) and PhDs in various subjects. We can, therefore, be confident to say we are professionals who are dedicated to what we do with proven records in the UK’s most entrance and national exams. We are a tutoring organisation that is defined by its professionalism. Our aim is to provide a personal service. This makes us very different from most tutoring companies that just offer a platform for tutors and students to meet. We speak to clients so that we can match them with the most appropriate tutor for their needs. When this happens, the results can be remarkable & confidence grows. We personally know all our tutors and all have had DBS checks and their qualifications checked before we take them on. We are also a member of The Tutors’ Association (TTA) which was formed in 2013 to provide standards to the tutoring industry.

I am currently a Medical student at Keele and a graduate from the University of Salford, achieving a 1st in my degree in Human Biology and Infectious Disease. Achieving the highest mark within my university. I was responsible for a programme known as GEMMS which is for supporting students in their medicine/dentistry applications, assisting them in interview technique and for the entrance exams.
I have mentored and tutored for 5+ years, helping students to achieve grade 9 in maths. I currently tutor Mathematics, physics, biology and chemistry for A-levels and below.
I am a fun person who particular loves his sports. Seeing the improvement and progress a child can make in a short amount of time is always the best feeling and I strive to help you achieve your goals and beyond. Sometimes having that 1 to 1 session can make all the difference in clearing up any worries about a topic.
I begin my classes by asking the student what they want to learn or discuss during the session. If they have a doubt in a concept, I will ask them to explain the same concept to me in their own words and correct them wherever necessary. I will provide some good methods to study or approach that topic. I will conclude the lesson by asking them if there is anything they would like to discuss in our next session so that I could prepare some questions in advance. I will also regularly be assessing your improvement through the use of practice papers to get an idea of where the student is at and how they can further improve. I strive to get the best out of my students.
For nearly 10 years, I have been working both as a private tutor and a schoolteacher, teaching predominantly Spanish and English to students of all ages and abilities in person and online. Following a lifelong love of languages, I studied Spanish and English Literature at GCSE, achieving A* and A respectively, and at A-level, achieving B and A* respectively. In 2015, I advanced my studies at the University of Reading, where, in 2019, I obtained my BA in Spanish and English Literature. In my year abroad, I studied in Mexico (University of the Americas Puebla) and Cuba (University of Havana). Since graduating, I’ve taught thousands of hours of Spanish and English online to hundreds of students, reaching the top of the Spanish tutor ranks on another platform and receiving dozens of positive, predominantly five-star reviews from satisfied clients across the continent. Knowing from personal experience how challenging learning a foreign language or mastering the art of essay writing can be, I aim to facilitate the process for my students by personalising my lessons to their individual needs. Personable, passionate and productive, my mission is to help my students not only achieve but exceed their goals.
Experienced English teacher/tutor with experience teaching all ages and stages from BGE, N5, H and Adv H. Over 13 years mainstream teaching experience. Moreover I am an SQA marker with expertise of marking all three papers of N5 and Higher English.
I am currently Early Years Lead in a 2-form entry primary school having left my previous role of Head of EYFS & KS1 at Whitehill Community Academy, Halifax, where I had worked for 19 years. I also completed a one-term secondment as Interim Head Teacher at All Saints’ CE (VA) Primary School in the Autumn Term 2016.
I have completed my NPQH training and qualified in July 2015.
My personal visions and values strongly align with your vision statement, I am also passionate about ensuring that all children have full access to an inclusive education and range of experiences, regardless of their background. This means I am fully committed to delivering a curriculum and range of learning opportunities, both academic and pastoral, which will enrich and prepare all children for their life ahead. I am a keen advocate for music in the school.
Current Leadership Experience
I have extensive experience in Early Years and Key Stage 1, although much of my role has also covered KS2. I also have experience through an interim role I completed as Deputy Head in an Independent School for pupils aged 7-15 years with severe Autism.
My main responsibilities include:
· Being the Senior Mentor for all ECT staff.
· Promoting effective relationships between staff, pupils and parents.
· Managing behavioural issues through the implementation of successful strategies such as the Restorative Justice system.
· Writing, developing and implementing our new creative, thematic curriculum (writing Programmes of Study which are cross-referenced to the National Curriculum and supporting Knowledge Organisers).
· Timetabling; Teaching & Learning monitoring (including introducing the new Deep-dive monitoring process); Staff and student placement and Induction.
· Being line manager for the lunchtime team.
· Writing policies for numerous subject and areas of school life.
In our most recent Ofsted Inspection (January 2020) our school was judged as ‘Good’, with many of the areas I am directly responsible for being highly praised. These included ‘Delivering a Broad, Balanced Curriculum’ and our Early Years Provision.
The areas which were highlighted for improvement were areas I had already identified and had started work on with the subject teams, but were not at full implementation stage at the time of inspection. This included our phonics and reading programme, which were not fully aligned at the time of inspection, but had already been identified during a deep dive in reading only a few weeks prior to the inspection. Following the inspection, I wrote a RAP for reading and Phonics, which had been actioned within just a few weeks.
I introduced a new tracking and assessment programme, DCPro in September 2018, which has helped to reduce workload both for the Tracking and Assessment Manager and for class teachers.
I have also had the opportunity to lead parent workshops on Mathematics and Assessment/ SATs preparation. I have been involved in the school’s Performance Management programme, using BlueSky.
I am the Senior Mentor for all Early Career Teachers and teacher-training students in the school, I ensure that the performance of ECT staff is monitored and reviewed through lesson observation with regular feedback given. I work in close partnership with Huddersfield University, Leeds Beckett, Trinity TSA and Teamworks.
I have also delivered ITT in Music to Huddersfield University students. I organise and often lead weekly assemblies for both Key Stages and regularly lead Achievement Assembly, which I always thoroughly enjoy. In the assembly organisation, I introduced ‘The Big Question’ linked to the assembly themes and to British Values and I ensure that all religious festivals and SMSC significant dates are covered in the assembly programme. In 2019, I also introduced Picture News to our assembly resources. During lockdown, I developed and recorded ‘Newsround’ assemblies, covering all aspects of World Religion, SMSC and current affairs. The assemblies have been so popular that I have continued recording them for use as a class-based assembly.
Previous Leadership Experience
In my role as Interim Head Teacher at All Saints in 2016 I met weekly with the Chair of Governors and I sat on all governing body committees, reviewing and writing policies and producing Head Teacher Reports. My responsibilities and achievements included:
· Ensuring that the school website was compliant and regularly up-dated. I led on staff training and staff meetings, carried out performance management appraisals for the staff team, scheduled lesson observations, work scrutinies and worked alongside the school business manager and the LA to develop the school budget.
· Successfully leading the school through its re-accreditation of the Basic Skills Quality Mark.
· Developing and leading on the school’s church ethos through Collective Worship and led on a highly successful Harvest Festival, Macmillan Coffee Morning and a series of events in church to celebrate Christmas, including Nativity performances, Carol Services and a musical concert.
· I am a firm believer in building and maintaining positive relationships with parents and the community and made it a priority to be a visible presence to parents by being on gate duty every morning and home-time to greet the children and parents.
· Working closely with the LA (including the Safeguarding team and the Health & Safety team), attending training and Calderdale Primary Head meetings, plus cluster meetings of the 12 schools within the Elland Cluster.
· I completed Whole-School Safeguarding Training and additional training for Designated Safeguarding Lead, which I have renewed for my role as Deputy DSL at Whitehill. I worked hard during my term as Head to develop an active role with the governing body and with the Senior Management Team and staff team, children and parents and also with the church. I worked hard to improve safeguarding and health and safety throughout the school.
Following my successful secondment at All Saints in January 2017, I returned to my post as Deputy Head Teacher at Whitehill. My role changed to Vice Principal in January 2018, following the retirement of our Executive Principal, changing again to Head of EYFS & KS1 in 2021. The school expanded in 2015 to give the potential for three-form entry throughout. We currently have 705 pupils on roll.
I played a key role in the expansion of the school, organising class register placements (to ensure an equal range of abilities and needs across each new class. I also played a key role, working closely with EYFS lead, in the planning and development of our new Early Years facilities, including designs of rooms, purchasing furniture, classroom resources and outdoor provision.
I was also involved in the recruitment of additional staff following the expansion, including short-listing and interviewing teachers and TAs / SEN Supports. I worked in close partnership with Wainstalls Primary School, which is part of I-Trust MAT, sharing many of my policies, schemes of work, curriculum documents and templates for Teaching & Learning / Deep-dive monitoring, many of which they have adapted to suit the needs of their individual school and adopted.
Continuing Professional Development
To ensure that my knowledge of curriculum and strategies are up to date, I have attended online National College training in the new EYFS Framework, the new Ofsted Framework, Deep-dives, Early Years practice, Baseline Assessments in Foundation Stage, Team Teach, Annual Safeguarding (plus DSL training), Safer Recruitment Training, PREVENT, White Rose Maths / Power Maths and The Write Stuff, plus RWI Phonics training and Epi-pen training.
Classroom Teaching Experience
I have substantial experience in primary education, having taught in every year group from Y1 through to Y6, plus cover in both Nursery and Reception. I have a high track record for results in the school at both key stages. In my role as subject leader, I have taken responsibility for Maths, Music and R.E. I play a key role in the school’s celebrations, included leading our Harvest Festivals alongside clergy from the local churches (Illingworth Methodist Church and St. John’s, Bradshaw) and holding our annual Christmas Carol service and Lessons, for almost 1000 children, teachers, parents and friends at Halifax Minster or Mount Zion Church. I have also musically directed and produced the Y6 end-of-year musicals, including ‘Joseph’ and ‘Oliver’, I also direct and accompany the school choir, who have participated in numerous concerts and for our elderly residents in the school’s catchment area as part of our Community Cohesion. As a very keen musician, I believe passionately that it should play a key part in school life. In 2019, I introduced The Rocksteady Music School to Whitehill and we currently have 10 rock bands involving children from Y1 to Y6.
As a classroom practitioner I always strived to set high standards in classroom organisation, discipline, planning and teaching. I continued with this same commitment to me leadership role. I work hard to ensure that everything runs as smoothly and efficiently as possible to gain results and hit deadlines. I have worked closely with the Pastoral team to ensure that the needs of vulnerable children are met, helping our school to achieve Investors in People Gold Award and Inclusion Quality Mark. In 2007 I had the opportunity to visit one of our Comenius Link schools in Denmark to look at how the school systems work, and I also visited the Kandy schools group in Sri Lanka in 2011.
Out-of-School
In an out-of-school context, I also bring sixteen years of leadership experience through my past work for Calderdale Youth Service. I am a strong believer in work-life balance and have a number of interests. I am also a member of my local Amateur Operatic Society, along with being a regular Musical Director / pianist for a 12-piece singing group called ‘Encore’. I have also been Musical Director for local amateur pantomimes and was also MD for a 100th Anniversary production of ‘Oh, What a Lovely War!’ in 2018. I am also pianist for Bradford Accordion Band. In 1998, I also qualified with the IDTA as a dance teacher in Ballroom, Latin and Modern. I was also church organist for eleven years in a small village church in Bradford and have recently played for services at my local village church (including playing for our late Queen’s memorial service, the pop-up Nativity service and the St Valentine’s family service). All of my ‘hobbies’ are very flexible to allow full commitment to my work in school.
I have been teaching in a secondary school in Altrincham for 10 years and prior to this have taught in Surrey and North London. I also have experience of examining for the major examination boards at both GCSE and A Level.

Hello, my name is James, a Montessori qualified educator, offering rich, creative, imaginative lessons drawing on years of experience as a teacher and consultant in order to bring the curriculum to life, each lesson tailored to the specific needs and interests of the child.
After co-founding my own Montessori childcare setting in Bristol, which I ran as the lead teacher for 3 and a half years, (2017 - 2020) I went on to offer webinars for parents and educators as a consultant with Montessori Centre International (2020-2021), the training college I completed my diploma with. I have continued working as an independent consultant in the period since, with specific focus on embedding the UN's Sustainable Development Goals into the curriculum in new and exciting ways, primariily for children aged 7+ through project based learning.
Drawing on Montessori Pedagogy and Philosophy I know through my own lived experience the entire curriculum can be successfully taught to the child by observing their interests and creating lessons that directly inspire their heart and imagination, increasing curiosiry and engagement in the classroom. E.g. if I observe a child of four with a fascination for dinosaurs I can use this as a jumping off point to teach Literacy, Storytelling, Phonics, Mathematics, Handwriting, Geography, Geology, Anatomy, Animal Kingdoms, Plant Kingdoms, Chemistry, History, and infinitum! All through a play based learning approach. For a child of seven with a love of babies we can teach World Cultures, Life Cycles, Human Geography, Physical Geography, History, Economics (tourism industry), English Language, and infinitum! This is the perfect age to provoike inquiry based learning and critical thinking, the child fascinating with 'How' and 'Why' questions. This deep thinking level curiosity ought to be encouraged at every opportunity. Teaching need not be as boring as sitting down and saying, "now we're doing this," we insire the imagination through movement, storytelling, big questions, provocative statements, laughter, humour, the joy of learning and exploration. The child will move seemlessly through the curriculum, ticking the boxes of all the Key Stages and more; because in Montessori we teach the universe, the cosmic education, as I navigate through Maria Montessori's 'Great Lessons' from the Big Bang, to The Story of Numbers (#MakingMathsExcitingAgain).
Your children will have a lot of fun with Montessori James, as I am also a trained professional clown, so we will have fun with humour and playfulness.

My name is Rebecca, I am educated to PhD level in Linguistics and I have over ten years experience of tutoring/teaching various subjects and levels at different institutions from tutoring privately, to tutoring at community centres and at universities.
I primarily tutor English at Nat 5/GCSE and Highers/A Levels though I have plenty of experience teaching English as a foreign/second language to all ages and levels both casually and professionally as well as academic English. I am also able to assist in the research methodology component of Nat 5/Higher Psychology.
I currently lecture research methodology and English at an international college. I am also an examiner for Cambridge for the English general comprehension paper and the English Language paper.
I have had a passion for language and assisting people with their learning since a very early age. I write poetry and, as as a lover of science fiction and fantasy, I engage in world building and write fantasy novels.
My lessons are tailored to the needs of the inidividual. My approach is patient, compassionate and scholarly. I enjoy sharing wisdom with my students and cultivating a passion for learning for the sake of learning.
I am also flexible, if extra time is needed or a change in location or day or time of session is required, I can accomodate.
Please be advised that I am disabled, part of my disability is limited mobility. I therefore prefer online or to meet students in very nearby neutral locations. I am based in Cambuslang where there are plenty of coffee shops/cafes.
Currently working as a full time English teacher at a private school. My job isn't limited to teaching. My biggest priority, more than anything, is inspiring my students to realise their own potential. In my lessons, you'll learn not only how to pass your exams, you'll also learn how to develop a positive mindset that will help you find success as you go out into the world.
