I am an experienced teacher originally from the UK. I have been tutoring for thirteen years and have experience of all the major exam boards for the British curriculum (AQA, OCR, Edexcel and WJEC) as well as entrance exams for the 11+ and 13+. I am also an examiner for AQA, OCR and CIE. I have a BSc degree in Physics from the University of Warwick, an MSc in Science Education from the University of Oxford and a PGCE in Science from the University of Leeds. I have five years' experience as a Head of Department in a large London secondary school and experience working at other international schools. I believe the most important aspect of tutoring is to stimulate interest in the subject - once this happens, the whole learning process becomes much easier! As an experienced school teacher, I have guided students through the UCAS process for ten years and would be happy to read and redraft personal statements. This may be of particular benefit for those applying to study Physics, Engineering and Medicine based courses
