Hello. I am a full-time tutor working in Coventry and the surrounding towns. I am a fully qualified teacher with over 20 years experience in the classroom, with roughly 18 years experience as a tutor too. I tutor Maths and English and at present I am tutoring children in years 5,6,7,8 and 9 and I have just completed GCSEs with 8 year 11s, so I have some spaces left now.

Maths Tutoring
I highly recommend Paul. Our son has recently passed the 11+ exams for Solihull school, Princethorpe college and King henry's.
Paul tutors both our boys, he is very reliable, has a great style of teaching which the boys have really engaged with and has built a great teaching rapport with both boys.

My step daughter has been badly let down by her school and at the end of Y10 was awarded an ungraded for her Y10 exam in Mathematics. Paul responded immediately to my request for a private Maths tutor for Y11. He has been 100% reliable and with a very gentle approach he has really helped her improve throughout Y11 and has built up her confidence in the subject significantly. She now appreciates that it is OK to go wrong and move on to the next question - something that prior to Paul's intervention might have derailed her completely. I am so grateful for Paul's hard work and encouragement this year. Highly recommended! More...

Paul is tutoring my daughter in Maths and has brought her up two points. She says he explains all very thoroughly, does mock tests as they do at school, marks them reviews progress continuously and communicates progress to us each session.. 10/10!👍

Student M was at level 3 in Maths, when we began lessons in December. With hard work and guidance by me she achieved level 5 in her Maths GCSE in June, securing her place in the sixth form. Great result.

I would highly recommend Paul as a tutor, we are currently preparing our child for 11+ exam and i am delighted with Paul’s teaching technique and his approach. If you are looking for someone who is firm and fair and knows how to extract the best out of you then he is the right person. Great communication and service provided and very fairly priced considering he comes to your house. Thank you Paul. More...
What do you love most about your job?
I enjoy helping the children and students learn,especially when they see they can do it and the progress they have made. I find it especially gratifying assisting those who are unsure and believe Maths or English is only something 'clever people' can do-but it turns out they can do it too!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I enjoy working for myself and I like the flexibility it offers me. The business relies solely on me,my efforts and I am not told what to do by anyone else, so I have to do well and make sure the students learn if I am to get enough work- I have to do a good job and I do.
Why should our clients choose you?
I'm very good at my job.I have helped many,many students,near 200 now. I have helped lots of students pass their GCSEs, boosted their grades and helped them pass, when, if they relied on the school they would not pass.Others have pushed up their grades-some I think by two grades,some by one, others probably by more (it's hard to tell). I have helped younger ones pass SATS and private school exams and the 11+ exam (which is very difficult).
Tutoring is my job,I have no other,so I have to do it well to secure an income. I am reliable and committed to my work and I never let clients down. I'm good at teaching and showing the students what to do. I teach all years from year 3 to year 11, so I know how to help the students to progress and where we need to aim.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Yes. We do Facetime or use Zoom to do our lessons at the moment.Since last May, my year 11s, and younger ones in years 5,6,7 and 8 have been doing our lessons online. It seems to work quite well.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I drop off work through the letterbox or photograph it to send it for the client to print off. Contact only through text messages or Facetime or Zoom at the moment.
