Learning should be fun. All too often it can become a chore. I bring a relaxed and lighthearted attitude to my lessons along with a real concern that the learning we share should be thoroughly understood so we can progress to the next step. I have wide experience of work and life and can usually bring that experience to show where what we're learning gets used. I have taught classes in High Schools, I have taught individuals and I have taught in Further Education Colleges to just about every kind of students, pupils, learners - whatever title you like to give them and I feel I have a good rapport with young people with many saying afterwards how much they enjoyed our time together. AS for the format of lessons, I like to keep this flexible. While planning will be done, I will follow up interesting avenues if they arise from the student's own ideas as this can be very motivating at the time.
