Experience

- 7+ / 8+

- 10+ (Public school deferred entry exams)

- 11+ (ISEB and public school entrance exams)

- 13+ (ISEB and public school entrance exams)

- GCSE/iGCSE (All exam boards: AQA, Edexcel, OCR & WJEC)

- A-Level(All exam boards: AQA, Edexcel, OCR & WJEC)

I have tutored a large number of children through ฐฎาบสำฦต. Many of my students are preparing for pre-test, 11+, and Common Entrance exams, and I am very familiar with these areas of study, both in English and maths. Many are also improving their English skills as it may be a second language.

I have worked with a large number of IGCSE, GCSE, and A-level students in both English Lit and Language. I am familiar with the different exam boards, and have a number of resources to help students with all aspects of these courses. I have worked with university-level students on essay structure and technique.

I have a real interest in supporting students with SEN or learning approaches that don't quite fit in to mainstream schooling. I have supported students from 7-18yrs with dyslexia and dyspraxia, both in subject support (English) and to help with general learning methods. I have supported students with working memory issues, again covering KS1 to A-levels. I have also worked with autistic students both one to one through tutoring, and also, before I started tutoring, I was a teaching assistant in an autism specialist school.

I have also worked within classroom settings for all primary school age groups. This includes working with students who are gifted and talented in order to ensure they reach their potential. It also involved helping with people who required extra input into literacy, numeracy and other subject groups.

I personally had to pass the 11+ entrance exam to get into my secondary school, so I understand how challenging the process can be; exam technique doesn't come naturally to everybody.

I have worked on writing creatively with children and adults.

Biography

I've been tutoring for the last nine years with ฐฎาบสำฦต, and this is now my fifth year as a professional tutor.

I grew up in Stratford Upon Avon, where a love of theatre is transmitted in the local water, and attended Alcester Grammar School, where I got four As at A-level in English Literature, Psychology, Theatre Studies, and English Language.

I have always had a keen interest in literature, and this continued after I graduated in 2007 and immediately went to drama school. I studied Acting for Stage, Screen and Radio at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama, and acted for five years before focusing on tutoring.

Approach to Tutoring

I try and get to know the strengths and weaknesses of a student first. Then we will work together on how to improve the weaknesses and consolidate the strengths. This includes:

Working on essay structures - simple formats that allow a point to be made clearly and effectively. I try and encourage classic prose - a simple and clear way of expressing opinions.

Working on creative writing - often building confidence that their story is worth telling, and the tools with which to do so.

For 11+, pre-test and Common Entrance students, I have a whole program of work that involves making sure comprehension, grammar and creative writing skills are improving. I use a wide variety of text books, past papers and learning support aids that will help students of all abilities improve their skills.

When not tutoring

I am a dad of two - a four year old daughter and an 18 month old son. Between nappies, swings, a badly behaved lurcher, an endlessly patient partner, and a big family of a thousand nieces and nephews, my life is fairly busy. Having said that, I really enjoy reading, listening to audiobooks, playing the piano and guitar (my daughter's favourite is a fairly bluesy version of 'She'll be Coming round the Mountain'), and getting to grips with the garden.

Currently, I am trying to write as much as possible. I also have a keen interest in photography, and enjoy doing landscape and portrait work.

What clients say about Cameron:

โ€œBoth my children got into the school of their choice (Habs Boys and City of London) with Cameronโ€™s help. From the very beginning, Cameron had a good sense of the (very different) personalities of each of my children and adapted his teaching style to maximise their learning. He was incredibly patient and effective. Cameron made a difficult process enjoyable for the kids and so much easier for my husband and I. He also showed great sensitivity towards anything that might be affecting the children outside the bounds of just academics. It was really a great experience to work with him.โ€
