Karl

Teacher of Religious Studies, Philosophy & Ethics | RS examiner | Head of Department | Educational Psychologist | GCSE, A-level and 13+.

With extensive classroom, online and in-person expertise, I deliver tailored instruction for individuals, small groups and home-schooled students.

Examiner experience: Having worked as an examiner for both AQA and OCR boards, I teach students how to structure exam questions and maximise grades.

Psychological/Emotional support: My experience as a qualified Psychologist enables me to support neurodiverse and SEN students, tailoring every session to their specific learning needs, and assist students in managing exam anxiety.

Elite Credentials: Rated ‘Outstanding’ by Ofsted and awarded Advanced Skills Teacher status.

Teaching Experience

Proven results: As Head of Religious Studies for 25 years, I have extensive experience preparing students for GCSE RS, A-level Philosophy & Ethics and 13+ Theology.

Specialist support: I specialise in OCR Philosophy, Ethics, and Developments in Christian Thought at A-level. At GCSE level, I specialise in the AQA, OCR, Edexcel, Eduqas and IGCSE specifications.

Tutoring Approach

Lesson Planning: I provide structured, high-impact sessions that provide a clear sense of both achievements and targets for students and ensure parents/carers are kept fully informed about student progress. I quickly inspire in students the desire to achieve their full potential in Religious Studies examinations.

Great tutor highly recommended. My daughter had benefit from just a few sessions. Thank you Mr Karl for your support!

Karl is outstanding. Our son's confidence, exam technique, and understanding grew exponentially and this was all down to Karl and his wonderful tuition. Not only did he improve in RS, but other subjects as well, owing to the applicability of the techniques taught by Karl in other subjects. Even if my others sons are doing well in RS, I will still book in sessions with Karl when their exams approach to give them the absolute best preparation.

Truly an outstanding tutor. Delivering lessons in an engaging manner and taking the student along with him. My child is buzzing after each session with Karl and I am overjoyed that we found him through First Tutors!

Amazing tutor, helped my daughter pass her RE GCSE. My daughter wishes she had teachers like Karl at her school.
