Oxford UniversityTutorial Based Teaching Method
My tuition style is based on the Oxford University Tutorial System which benefited me greatly allowing me to obtain a 1st and come 3rd in my year.
My method is designed to assist the student in "working out" answers to complex problems by themselves by breaking the problem into smaller, manageable sub problems and steps.
I've found this method drastically boosts the student's knowledge, confidence, problem solving abilities and hence test results while keeping the lesson fun and engaging (see testimonials below).

My Qualifications
Gaining an entry and later Science scholarship at Reeds School, Cobham I obtained 7A*'s and 10A's at GCSE, followed by 4 As in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry at A Level.
As the only student to get into Oxford University I obtained a 1st class Masters degree in 2003 in Engineering and Computing Science, coming 3rd in the year with my course being sponsored by a Government department.
Invited on another scholarship to Japan, I spent a year at a Japanese University learning Japanese and teaching English.
I am the founding director of Hine Systems Limited producing high tech software development offering solutions using software designed by myself which ranges from mission critical robotics control to websites viewed by millions of people a day.
Having tutored continually since my scholarship in Japan I am able to grasp a student's level extremely quickly and tailor my tuition around their needs while helping them exceed their personal exceptions.
Recommended Private Tuition Revision Books
I (and most students agree!) that most course textbooks are both over complex and contain a lot of surplus information not required by the syllabus.
I therefore recommend the following "CGP Revision Books", both while tutoring and for the students private revision which break down the syllabus of most exam boards into manageable chunks, only containing information required.
CGP Revision Books are available for most subjects at both G.C.S.E and A Level both online below and from most good bookshops. Please ensure the version of the book you buy is for your correct syllabus!

Past Exam Papers and Answers
As well as providing syllabus tuition, I am able to assist with both exam preparation as well as exam technique which can be used to boost results substantially with little effort.
Past Exam Papers complete with answers for most major exam boards (AQA, Edexcel and OCR) at both G.C.S.E and A level are available from the free from the exam board's website.
