Personalised online or face-to-face tutoring in Maths and Science proven to boost grades and confidence.
I always do the first session as a "try-before-you-buy" so you can get an idea whether you want to work with me or not. We'll have a look at a couple of questions and you can see how I do things.. You'll learn how to read questions for perfect understanding and how to give perfect answers.
The tutor who listens
When parents contact me, they always tell me two things about their teen, they need:
"more confidence" and
"to get a grade sufficient to progress to the next stage."
So it's my job to help their teenager achieve those things.
PROBLEM: Too many students get onto a downward spiral, it's called a "vicious circle" ☹️ and it knocks the soul out of a youngster.
SOLUTION: You've heard the saying: "success breeds success." I get young people onto a "virtuous circle" 😃 of better learning and increased confidence. Once they experience success, they naturally want more, so motivation increases as well.
Welcome to Pershore Tutor
As you go through this site, you'll find three recurring themes.
1 - You learn stuff by doing stuff.
You can learn about maths and science by going to classes, reading books, doing self-study and checking out BBC bitesize and YouTube videos. These are all necessary and will help you. But you pass exams by having subject knowledge and doing past papers. You need to know the kind of questions asked and how to answer them perfectly.
2 - Build on your strengths and eliminate your weaknesses.
If you're already pretty good at solving linear equations (for example), we'll polish this up until you can do it in a heartbeat and be 100% confident that it's right. If you're unsure about the difference between covalent and ionic bonds, we'll deal with that until you'll wonder what you ever found tricky.
3 - Think your way though things.
You'll learn a very simple system for thinking ... and it's something that you just don't learn in school. The system is:
Think about what you're going to do
Do it neatly and completely
Think about what you did ... so next time you can do it even better and faster.
Tutoring is different from teaching
You are the boss. As your tutor, it's my job to give you all the help I possibly can.
If you did something in class that you just didn't get, you want it sorted straight away. We can drop my planned tutorial and follow your lead. No matter what you need help with, I'm here for you.
Tutoring works
Tutoring is much more than telling students information. Effective tutoring begins with the strong and caring relationship a tutor establishes with a learner to build trust, fuel motivation, and drive critical learning.
There have been literally hundreds of studies and every single one comes to the same conclusion: tutoring raises standards.
Maths Tutoring
You're probably in Y10 or 11 and want help boosting your grades. You might be in Y9 and realise that you need help preparing for the GCSE years. That's exactly what I'm here to do.
You learn maths by doing maths.
That's pretty obvious, really. We will go over past papers so you know exactly what to expect in the final exams. We'll find out what you already know and make sure you can use it to ace those questions. We'll find out where you're a bit shaky and get you what you need to succeed in those questions as well.

Science Tutoring
You're probably in Y10 or 11 and want help boosting your grades. You might be in Y9 and realise that you need help preparing for the GCSE years. That's exactly what I'm here to do.
You pass science exams by practising past science exams.
GCSE Combined Science and single science exams are challenging. There's a lot of stuff you need to know and you need to know exactly how to answer questions.
