Gavin Groves

I teach English Language, Literature and Creative Writing up to A Level. I have a degree in English Literature and Creative Writing.

I have written multiple novels and short stories and this passion is what set me on the road to completing my degree.

I have also been a chef for twenty years and this has given me much experience in communicating and teaching people from many cultures.

We all have our preferences in communication and learning and I believe that we must first understand how we want to be taught.

I would say that I am 30% listener and 70% doer, I find it easier to absorb and retain information through practice and correction, learning by doing followed by examination, analysis and understanding.

Maybe you are the same?
Maybe you like to take notes and go away and research?
Maybe you are a listener, or more of a doer, like me.

Maybe you are a bit shy, a bit scared, or even ashamed of the fact you want to learn a new skill. I have been all of these things and I want you to know, as your tutor, that all kinds of students are welcome.
