About Robert
I am an experienced teacher (10 years) & professional actor. I have tutored students from all walks of life, and am a very engaging and dynamic tutor, which translates extremely well online. He has experience preparing 11+ 13+ students for a list of top schools. I am known for being a ‘grade-changing’ tutor, consistently improving results for pupils, their first-choice schools, and on a number of occasions, scholarship offer. As a philosophy graduate, I see critical thinking as crucial to problem solving, and have had multiple successes teaching English, History, Politics, R.S. and Geography at High levels.
Alongside this I am also a professional actor with extensive work on stage, including the West End, Edinburgh and internationally, as well as TV and film and commercials. I have worked the past few years at the National Film and TV School as an actor and educator, helping students produce short films.

I believe that tutoring is first about personal connection. Any learning can only be achieved given a certain level of trust, which must be established in order to create a solid platform from which further learning can then flourish. Younger students are most open to absorbing information and should have the chance to take academic information and guidance from a range of people. This enhances the educational experiences and broadens the horizons of a student.
Having successfully passed grammar school entrance exams, three university degrees and auditions for multiple prestigious drama schools in the world I know that, with the right teachers, subjects can really come alive. I have also seen how more clinical approaches to tutoring further separate students from the learning process. Having been a student myself, I have seen the many positives and potential pitfalls one-to-one tuition can bring. These experiences galvanize me and help me in my own tutoring. I relish taking what I have learnt, and the exciting methods by which I have learnt it, and passing that on to other students.
Regardless of the level taught, it is impossible to make real progress unless the student first has engagement and interest in the subject. I see my task as tutor as a process of invigorating the material for those studying.
Please get in touch if you would like to arrange a tutoring session, as my availability is very flexible and also dependent on location.

I've known Robert and his family since the beginning of secondary school. 25 years later I am myself a professional tutor, following in Robert's footsteps. He has been a full time tutor for around 15 years, and is a highly valued member of all of the most prestigious tutoring agencies. He has a fantastic ability to connect with children of all learning styles and a deep enjoyment of the minutiae of his subjects. I have sought his advice on tutoring on multiple occasions and trust his expertise implicitly.

To Whom It May Concern:
I am very pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Robert Jones. Robert tutored our two eldest sons, now 11 and 9 years old in the year leading up to their 10+ entrance exams and interviews. Both of our sons were offered places to their preferred secondary school at the first attempt and I strongly recommend Robert as a tutor who can get the best out of children and give them the tools to successfully negotiate entrance exams.
Robert has great qualities that are needed to tutor children - clearly very patient, gives constructive feedback and homework and inspires confidence in the kids (and parents!) that they can succeed When we decided to enter our children for 10+ entrance exams, it was by no means certain they would pass, however Robert quickly identified the children’s academic strengths but, more importantly, their weak spots and is able to successfully address any issues - a skill I definitely would look for in a tutor. He was always on-time, well prepared for the tutoring session and very personable which meant the kids were always keen and up for each lesson.
I would thoroughly recommend Robert as a tutor. You may reach me via E-mail at malloryjem@aol.com or by phone at 07834 589 674. I will be happy to provide additional information or answer any questions, if needed.

· Your ability to quickly assess each of their strengths as well as areas to further work on, taking into consideration their personalities and individual learning style
· Your way of making the lessons enjoyable and engaging for the boys. It is not easy to have them work during the holidays but the way you mix the different subjects, have little 'games' in between and the jokes you share have all been helpful
· The interview practice and tips have been valuable and I know both boys have applied some of these during their actual interviews
· Your flexibility on timing and willingness to come out to Kuala Lumpur to tutor them – I truly appreciate this!
Thanks so much for your help. I would not hesitate to recommend you as tutor to others!"
Mrs. Nor RazaliI highly recommend Robert an an excellent tutor of of English and English Literature subjects. He has deep knowledge on those subjects and helped my son a lot with both style and substance. He is infectiously enthusiastic and his lessons most enjoyable. His imagination renders it possible for the education to be at the same time oblique and focused. He had a conversational style of tutoring, which made learning very easy for my son, who felt that he learned a lot whilst enjoying the process.
I recommend Robert without reservation. I am sure he would bring his innate intelligence and creativity to any job he undertook. If you have any further questions regarding his approach and expertise, please do not hesitate to contact me."View more recommendations
