John has a degree in Maths & Computing, works at a major international company, and has been supporting Year 4 pupils as a volunteer at a local Primary School for several years.  He is also a chaperone for a local Youth Orchestra.

John experienced the benefits of tutoring first hand when he was around 8 or 9, as he lacked confidence in Maths.  His parents arranged a tutor for him for a short while.  “I’ll never forget the difference it made.  It got me past the things that I was struggling with and gave me confidence in Maths which has carried me through ever since – amazing to think I ended up getting a Maths degree!”

Now John enjoys helping others to break through their barriers and unlock their potential.

He sees stress and anxiety as the primary obstacles to fostering such an attitude and advocates for creating a stress-free learning environment by building the student’s academic confidence. Teodor experienced a significant drop in his academic confidence during the COVID-19 lockdowns in his final years of secondary school, which he now recognises profoundly impacted his performance.

After graduating with a 2:1 History degree from Manchester Metropolitan University, Patrick continues to pursue his passion in the field and is currently undertaking a Masters Degree in ‘Public History & Heritage. Although Patrick’s specialist knowledge lies in American history and conflict, his interests and skills can readily be applied to the current GCSE and A-Level courses in English Literature, Language and History respectively. 

Previous A-Level qualifications in English Literature and Film Studies have stressed to him the importance of analytical essay writing, particularly those skills needed in student exams, assessments and coursework. Regarding this, a specialism of Patrick’s lies in improving a student’s overall writing ability, a necessity for expressing their subject knowledge. 

He has over a year’s experience teaching all secondary years (7-11) and Sixth Form/College years in group sessions and one-to-one formats. A consistent target Patrick strives for with all his students during tutoring is to nurture their love for a subject beyond the syllabus demands. He wishes to see his students succeed and improve and enjoy English and History!

Paul started in a photographic career working primarily in an editorial environment, although spending time with University College London developing innovative techniques in the field of orthopaedic medical photography.  In the early 1990’s he developed and founded a workshop, in pinhole photography, for an Educational Trust in Liverpool.  This early work with primary children led to him retrain as a teacher, taking up his first post in a large primary school of 400+ children in south Manchester.  His career developed with his experience and he took on senior leadership roles in a large Cheshire school before embarking on headship in a small, village school.  As the ‘head learner’ he has encouraged teachers, children (and their parents) to develop a growth mindset and not to worry too much about getting things wrong sometimes – that is how we learn and we simply have to get ‘back in the boat’ and try again.  Working in a small school has always meant a teaching commitment which has allowed him to maintain a connection with children and their learning, something which has been important.  Paul left headship in December 2020, after thirteen years, to explore other areas of education and use his experience to support children in their learning further

I am a Year 4 teacher at Ringway Primary School in Manchester. Born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, I thoroughly enjoyed school and experienced success at school due to the amazing and unforgettable teachers I had supporting me. Now, my greatest passion in life is teaching, I love to help students grow, and become more confident at what they are doing, and I take great pride in watching them achieve their potential. I enjoy breaking down the barriers to learning for any child. Ultimately, knowing that the children I teach make great progress and achieve their goals is my biggest achievement.
