Tom A

I tutor Maths at GCSE and Key Stage 3, along with the UCAT test and personal statement support for University entrance exams. I achieved A* in A level maths, grade 9 in GCSE further maths and A* in GCSE further maths. My specialties lie in teaching children with additional learning needs such as autism, anxiety and dyslexia. My teaching style is quite laid back and student led, to help develop independence and study skills. In the 2020 admissions cycle, I applied for medicine and received offers of study from two Universities. Medicine is a highly competitive course with an admission rate around 30% and the aptitude test is an essential part of this application. I can support with UCAT tutoring, to ensure that the UCAT test doesn't cost you your place on a course. Personal statement writing is a transferable skill that many struggle to perfect. Regardless of your desired course, personal statement tutoring can support you to make the most of the limited writing space to set you ahead of the applicants. Outside of work, I have a dog and enjoy looking after her and taking her for daily walks. I find this relaxing and a good way to de-stress. I am a big fan of music across a multitude of genres includes punk, reggae, ska, rock, yodelling, metal and hip hop. I own 3 guitars, a keyboard, a drum machine and a pair of bongo drums. This is a great way for me to relax and explore my passion of music. One of the highlights in my month is the monthly jam night at my local pub where people can get together, have a laugh, and play some tunes together. It doesn't matter if you sound bad because it's all about having fun.
