About Andrew
Dear parent or learner, If you're reading this maybe you've already decided that you are so concerned about how you or your son/daughter is going to do in English exams that you need to do something. Now.
I became a teacher because I know that for lots of different reasons, some students who should do well in English don't always manage to. They might have had to go overseas, or move to a different area or had a lot of time off school due to illness. Or they might just have a teacher that never seems to have enough time to help them. Whatever the reason, I really can help.
I have twenty years' experience teaching secondary, post-16 and adult learners but I've also had a lot of success tutoring primary students privately.
I am a qualified teacher with a PGCE in English and Media from North London University and I've also been a Head of Department so I know all about the new exams and the best ways to help your child succeed.
I started being a private tutor as a favour to friends who, like you, were worried about their children's future. My friends were so impressed that they recommended me to their friends soon I was having to turn people away. However now I only teach part time, I've got more time to teach one-to-one but I still always try to treat my students with the care and attention that I give to the children of my closest friends.
Recently an old friend who wanted to send their son to a private school asked me if I could help him prepare for the entrance exam. It wasn't something I'd done before but I gave it a go and sure enough my friend's son is now at a private school in Croydon.
I also specialise in teaching English young people and adults whose first language isn't English. I've helped Primary teachers who qualified overseas but couldn't get jobs here because they needed at least a B for GCSE English to get the qualification they needed.

I have worked as a senior manager in two colleges where Andrew taught and managed English. He has always shown real integrity, enthusiasm and a passion for helping young people from all different backgrounds and at all different levels of proficiency to achieve good English qualification and enjoy themselves whilst doing so. He is creative, thoughtful and has an open and unassuming manner which puts his students at ease.
Andrew taught at Tower Hamlets College from March 2004 until the end of August 2009. He worked with young people and with adult classes, teaching English to GCSE and A level, and a range of Humanities subjects. He showed himself to be an imaginative teacher, adapting his approaches well to meet the different needs of young people and adult learners. In addition to working at post-16 level, he has extensive experience of working in schools and in other setting with children under 16.
Andrew has great enthusiasm for English in all its form, and has developed a variety of approaches to support those who love reading, and to inspire reluctant readers and writers. His wide knowledge across the areas of Politics, Geography and World Development qualify him to tutor and support a range of subjects.View more recommendations
