Sharpway Tutoring

Where the learner really matters

Primary Maths, Primary English & ESL tuition

Feeling frustrated about the progress of your child?

• Are they struggling to read?

• Do they panic with numbers or forget ‘how to do’ something?

• Is spelling or x tables a constant worry?

• Do you feel they are overlooked at school?

I can’t promise a miracle cure but when you book me you and your child will have my undivided attention.

Here to help

Dear Parent,

I loved my time teaching in Primary classrooms (well 90% of it!) but one of my biggest frustrations was not being able to give quality time to all the children who needed it.

Some children demanded more of your time than others – those with behavioural issues, some with particular learning difficulties and those who needed constant challenge.

Despite my skill as a teacher and the presence of Learning Assistants, there were always the ‘middle ground’ children who didn’t get the attention they deserved or make the progress I felt they should.

Now it’s PAY BACK time. I’m thrilled to be able to offer 1:1 learning just for your child

Neil

About Me

A good teacher is like a candle – it consumes itself to light the way for others” – Japanese proverb

• When I started teaching it was ‘just a job.’ I thought little of the impact I could have on the lives of others. Now, over thirty two years later, bringing the best out of people and a passion to see them learn are what motivate me the most.

• Born and raised in Cardiff, a graduate of Portsmouth University with a Degree in Geography, I completed my PGCE at the University of Chichester before starting my teaching career in the same city. After that I taught in Montego Bay, Jamaica and in a few different schools back in the Chichester area before working and developing my craft in two excellent schools in W. Sussex & Hampshire – one state, one private.

• In addition, I have a TEFL Certificate, have recently completed the CELTA course in Cardiff and am a member of IATEFL. Since the summer of 2017 I have been tutoring 1:1 both Primary and ESOL students.

• This face to face interaction has provoked me to start Sharpway Tutoring, a great platform to grow this most rewarding profession.
