About Me
I live in Dorset but before that I lived and taught in London. I feel that experiencing life in such contrasting environments-rural Dorset and the great city has been very rewarding. I had a first class academic education at Oxford University but have always loved art, especially painting, and have exhibited my own work widely. Also, as a father of four, I can appreciate at first hand what students go through as they navigate the educational and exam systems.
Tutor Experience
Since September 2003, I have been Head of History at Leweston School, Sherborne, Dorset . I have taught GCSE and A-level History as well as lower school classes from, year 7 to 9. My priority has always been to engender enthusiasm and as far as possible, to bring the subject alive while adapting my approach to the particular needs of individual students.
I love the subject I teach and I find I learn a great deal from teaching and from the sometimes challenging and inquisitve responses of students.
I have also taught History of Art and relish the cross-curricular and enriching possibilities of teaching both subjects in tand
I have also worked at these tutorial colleges :
Davies, Laing and Dick College - London
Duff Miller College - London
My understanding of how to get the best possible grades for students has also been enhanced by my work as an examiner.
