tutoring - what I offer and why use a tutor?

 I live in Ealing and offer in person tutoring in the local area. I have a number of tutees across the world and have found that Computer Science tutoring, in particular, works really well over Zoom or Google Meet. 

Physics and Computer Science teachers are difficult to recruit, and in many schools, the teachers are non-specialists. Many of my students have found the material challenging to engage with, and all they need is the confidence to explore and enjoy these amazing subjects. Nurturing this confidence is something I truly enjoy, and once my students develop a love for the subject, they can really excel. Other students benefit from one-to-one sessions that play to their strengths and focus on weaker areas. This personalized approach makes a huge difference.
