About Gervase
I am an experienced tutor with a track record of helping students reach their goals, particularly improving exam results and being accepted to their school or university of choice. I believe in the importance of carefully prepared lessons, an individual approach tailored to the learning style of student and of making studying interesting, fun and relevant. Outside of tutoring I am founding a social enterprise and enjoy sports, theatre and music.
I started tutoring eight years ago and have over a hundred hours experience. I have tutored students of all levels, from those struggling with the fundamentals of the subject to those pushing to reach the top grades. I specialise in tutoring mathematics and history, subjects that I excelled in at school and university and have continued to use and enjoy throughout my life. My students have told me that my passion for the subjects is infectious!
I have taught at the following levels:
• A-Levels: I have helped students improve their grades including reaching A* grades. I focus on essay technique and deeper discussion of ideas for history and breaking down complex topics in Maths. I have also successfully supported students with university and Oxbridge applications.
• GCSE. I focus on source analysis skills and improving essay technique in history as well as the core skills of identifying causation and building an argument. For Maths I use a range of games and exercises and bring in real world examples to show the relevance of the subject.
• Up to13+ I use games and quizzes and a variety of digital tools like Kahoot to keep students engaged. I can also help with preparation for secondary school entrance and scholarship exams.

Recommendations

Gervase was one of my supervisors on a joint project working on energy retail market reforms. I was completely new to the energy sector and civil service when I started. I could always count on Gervase to explain things to me or provide guidance - whether on technical issues related to energy supply, or about how government and civil service works. His approach is that no question is stupid - he will always find the time to explain something thoroughly, and he never gets impatient. When he's reviewing work, he provides really helpful feedback, and gives guidance on how to improve while also providing encouragement.
As Gervase's line manager in his previous role, I have experienced Gervase's dedication, patience and ability to explain complex topics clearly and with ease. Gervase is self-motivated and keenly interested in the development of those around him.
