Cecil

I am a very active retired person and a widower. I enjoy high class furniture restoration, gardening, clock repair, rambling and mountain walking and am an active member of my local church.
I am Chair of Governors at a local J&I school.

Tutoring Experience

I have been actively involved in teaching Religious Education, Philosophy and English during a long and successful career in education, including 23 years as a headteacher. I have also worked for some years advising senior staff in schools and as a school improvement partner.

Tutoring Approach

I establish candidates' learning needs and explore the issues that have caused them to seek additional help. This facilitates setting an agenda of topics for study. I also use a variety of teaching/learning methods with the aim of enabling students to understand the topics and to confidently retrieve relevant information fro memory. I share in studying exam questions and provide 'model answers' at the end of the process. I also help to plan revision and advise re the most effective use of time for study in line with the most recent research.
