Experience
Oct 04 to date: Science/Maths Expert and Tutor
I started my teaching career whilst lecturing during my Masters Degree in 2004 and took on a role as an online Tutor to help fund my study. Since then as a personal part-time tutor, I have rapidly built up a base of customers of all ages and abilities through personal recommendation and accreditation with. A great motivator in my passion towards teaching was the six weeks I spent teaching English to 6-11 year olds as a volunteer at a school in Thailand in 2003 and more recently during a career break in 2012, travelling in Asia, I was involved in training teachers and setting up a school curriculum in Nepal. I have recently been covering as a Science teacher at a secondary school and also experting, writing and delivering Science and Maths courses at various schools throughout the UK.
