About Chris
I have taught English and maths around the world, preparing adults, teenagers and young people for interviews and exams (both school and national).
My students have experienced great success in their applications, obtaining places at top independent UK schools, sixth form colleges and universities.
I also prepared professionals for (successful) interviews with organisations like the Hong Kong civil service, Microsoft and even created and ran a weekly workshop for interview skills at the British Council in Hong Kong.
Qualified teacher of secondary maths (PGDE) and teacher of English (CELTA+YL)

I am systematic and methodical. Patient and persistent.
I give clear and direct feedback that helps learners understand better what they should be doing and how to get better. Students like the fact I give clear feedback on the task (never about the person).
I believe in setting goals, assessing and working towards them.
I believe planning is essential but we should be flexible with them.

Perfect! Wonderful maths tutor
I had a really difficult time with my QTS Numeracy revision. I was overcome with panic and anxiety. As well as being a wonderful maths tutor, Chris shared with me great techniques and advice for ‘emptying my glass’, clearing my head, and focusing on the question and what it was asking. I passed first time and with confidence, thanks to Chris.

Chris was my private tutor for about a year. Back then, I was preparing for a public recruitment exam aiming to get a major promotion in my career. The exam includes writing English essays. I failed once and I realised that my major shortcoming was my deficiency in English writing.
That’s when I approached Chris, my old English teacher at the British Council, for help. Chris is very helpful and passionate about his work. He attended very well to my study needs and built a bespoke course around them.
Although I knew that my English writing was the problem I had no idea how I could improve myself. Thankfully, Chris helped me to assess my writing and analyse my strengths and areas that needed improvement. Then he set out structured lessons and course work to help me gradually improve the areas that needed work. In a course of one year, I was able to achieve significant improvement in my writing.Chris tutored my 15 year old son (S4) who was struggling with English close reading. As well as doing close reading exercises and encouraging my son to read more, Chris helped him to understand the marking scheme and how to approach the exam.
