Following a Theology degree from Oxford University then a distinction in my P.G.C.E. teaching qualification, I spent several years teaching at Horris Hill - a full-boarding boys' prep. school - as head of an academic department, a resident deputy housemaster and latterly Head of Middle School.

 

In my final three years over 90% of my pupils gained A or B grades in Common Entrance Religious Studies, across mixed ability groups. In addition, I taught English and Latin, as well as helping successfully to prepare pupils for 13+ scholarship general papers and interviews.

 

Since September 2010 I have been putting my prep. school experience to good use by working as an academic tutor and adviser, continuing to prepare pupils for entrance and scholarship exams to major public schools (including Winchester, Eton, Radley and Harrow). I have also worked as a G.C.S.E. examiner and, at the other end of the spectrum, have helped with Oxbridge interview preparation.

In addition, I have for several years run an interactive Common Entrance and scholarship Religious Studies revision website (www.ce-rs.com). It receives several hundred visitors every month, and an ever-increasing number of prep. schools around the country use my resources (available from my website) as part of their day-to-day R.S. teaching.

I have held resident tutor posts with families in the U.K. and abroad; furthermore, I have experience of teaching via Skype (although I would only recommend such "distance learning" if you cannot find any local Common Entrance tutors). I have an enhanced C.R.B. disclosure, and I am happy to provide contact details for referees on request.

My interests include choral singing (having been a choral scholar at Lichfield Cathedral during my gap year) and music recording/digital editing.

Please click here to read more about the subjects that I teach, and feel free to contact me - even if only to pick my brain for advice. I am always happy to receive speculative enquiries, whether or not these eventually lead anywhere.
