I have experience teaching English, Maths and admissions interview prep for ages 9-18. I enjoy the challenge of matching my lesson objectives to the student: whether they need their confidence restored or their abilities tested beyond the syllabus.

Teaching experience
I have over 500 hours of tutoring experience with a variety of tutoring agencies , as well as a freelance tutor.
I have taken students aged 9-18 through 11+, 13+, GCSE, 16+, A-Level and Oxbridge entrance exams and interviews. I teach English (language and literature) at all of these levels and Maths up to GCSE. Outside of the syllabus, I have taken book clubs in texts like Watership Down, Animal Farm and Holes as well as classes on poetry and creative writing/essay competitions.
My most rewarding lessons are those in which the student feels like they are leading the learning and discovering ideas for themselves. It is a unique privilege to be tutoring 1-2-1: so much more is more achievable than in the classroom, and it invariably produces work which the student believes in. For English, that means essays become more cogent, persuasive and enjoyable to write for the student.

TESTIMONIAL
This is a reference from a private student when Daniel joined TeachTutti
Dan took my daughter beyond the school syllabus and helped to enter competitions like the Queens Commonwealth Essay and IF Oxford Poetry competitions. It's left her enjoying English more than ever and pushing herself to achieve more.

TESTIMONIAL
This is a reference from a private student when Daniel joined TeachTutti
Dan was a great tutor for my son. My son's confidence was shaken six months before his GCSEs after a late diagnosis of dyslexia. His grades dropped and school reports said he was not focussing in lessons. In the months leading up to his exam, Dan restored his confidence and improved his marks from a 56 to a 9! Even better, my son has since decided to keep English as an A-Level (inspired by some books Dan recommended for the Summer break). The story could have been very different without Dan's help and we would recommend him for exam help and inspiration outside the syllabus!
