Thomas M.

Having been tutoring since 2014, Tom has built up extensive experience of working with students with a range of abilities and academic backgrounds. Tom prides himself with the ability to create an effective and friendly learning environment, which he believes allows students to excel and push themselves outside of their comfort zone. He has helped support students who have performed outstandingly in their exams, with tutees heading to leading universities including Oxford, Imperial and UCL. He is invested in the success of his tutees, with regular appraisals and tracking software to help support students in their exam preparation. He also offers additional support with university and job applications ensuring that students have a well-rounded application, through personal statement and extra-curricular guidance. As a fully qualified teacher and multiple years’ experience, Tom is comfortable working with your child to ensure they exceed their potential.

I have a flexible approach to tutoring and adapt to the tutees' needs and areas of struggle. I believe a good understanding of the fundamentals is critical for a tutee to succeed, not only with their current stage of education but also in the future. I try and build a comfortable atmosphere for the student so they don't feel intimidated or scared about asking questions. I also try and push them with their understanding, often asking questions beyond the stated question so that they fully understand what is happening in the situation. Finally, I have a long term view for my students and always build in regular revision into my sessions and homework to ensure that they remain at a strong level throughout the different topics.
