Business, Welsh, and Politics lessons in Wrexham, UK.
A Costs Lawyer and PGCE Tutor with 20 years experience in all aspects of academia who teaches Law, Politics and English in Cardiff at GCSE, AS AS Undergraduate, Post Graduate level and English ESL to Chinese children online.
After graduating I secured a position with Eversheds for 8 years as a Costs Lawyer and bespoke tutor. The emphasis was on managing a team with responsibility for recovery of costs on behalf of large external clients, predominantly insurers and government departments as well as financial organisations.
From November 2007, I embarked upon my own private practice with a dual purpose of providing legal advice to clients along side structures and bespoke tutoring. This was followed by a decision to work on a consultancy basis, continuing as a costs lawyer focusing on claimant work and concentrating on my tutoring skills, enabling flexibility to work around family commitments.
I currently have a broad range of private professional clients whom I teach face to face and online whilst also maintaining a traditional student base. I specialise in Law, Politics and English and online tuition to Chinese students aged between 4 and 14.
I am married with two boys. I love the outdoors. I was a member of the Welsh Surf Lifesaving Association for over a decade and am a dedicated surfer. Full driving licence. Fluent in Welsh and English. Interested in all aspects of global politics, human rights and the environment.

I am friendly, approachable and enjoy making learning meaningful for pupils. My lessons begin with starting activities to recap the previous learning, identify any misconceptions. Moving onto the main part of the lesson I plan activities promoting fluency in the skill then application to a real-life situation or worded exam-style question. Games and quizzes can be fun and useful in testing rapid recall.
I have been teaching for fifteen years and have taught learners of all abilities, backgrounds and socio-economic circumstances, planning for progression and offering timely feedback. I endeavour to make learning as enjoyable as possible and do my utmost to "make learning stick". I am compassionate and go the extra mile for learners.

I've had a few years of teaching experience. The first time I taught was in 2018 when I taught water sports and safety. Then, during the COVID Pandemic, I tutored students who were struggling with school. After completing university, I travelled all the way to Kyrgyzstan in Central Asia to teach English as a foreign language.
My specialties are English, Welsh, history and art.
Having attended a Welsh medium secondary school from 2019 to 2021 and achieving A* grades in Welsh, my fluency in Welsh has developed and progressed over the years.
I have experience in tutoring to students from academic years 3-11 (ages 7-16). The feedback I have received from parents touch upon how their children’s vocabulary has dramatically improved and how they look forward to my lessons, which are immersed in engaging activities for language development.
The lessons are fully and thoroughly planned with thought of suitable goals and aims, including grammatical, oral, written and comprehensive skills in all tasks. Furthermore, I arrange assessments and homework activities to ensure the student is meeting their goals accordingly and implementing a practice.
I intend on continuing with teaching and encourage you to arrange a lesson with me!
I am a recent English literature graduate with a passion for the arts and a keen interest in pursuing a career within the arts, heritage, and cultural sectors. Having achieved a high 2:1 (with disrupted teaching due to the pandemic) I have extensive skills with regard to essay writing. I finished my A levels with A*AAA and thus understand the demands of the WJEC A Level specifications for English, Geography, Religious Studies, and The Welsh Baccalaureate.
Tutoring would allow me to use the numerous skills I have gained from my degree. I have learned how to truly engage with a media source, and pay particular attention to writing styles and techniques. This has taught me to have a great eye for detail and skills in time management, independent working and high-quality research skills, and an ability to implement an array of sources. I have also learned how to apply these attributes to my own work to produce high-quality fiction and nonfiction writing.
My personal skills include skills I have learned from my active engagement in Scouting throughout the past two decades. I have developed effective active listening and communication skills. I am a native Welsh speaker and am confident in producing materials and tutoring in the Welsh language. Alongside this, I have a passion for ensuring that the narratives of those who occupy a more marginal position in society are heard. Having studied English literature, I am keenly aware of the importance of having a voice.
I have 5 years experiences of placement work, voluntary work and paid work in primary schools. I have also got previous tutoring experiences with students up to GCSE level.
