👋 Hi, I’m Andrew — a QTS‑qualified teacher, life coach and specialist tutor with 20 years’ experience and over 10,000 hours of 1:1 tuition. I work with young people who need a calm, patient, neurodivergent‑friendly approach that builds trust first and academic progress second.

I’ve taught in mainstream schools, PRUs, specialist SEND settings and with students who’ve been out of education entirely. I understand anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, masking, executive‑function challenges and the emotional load that comes with being “different” in the school system.

I’ve taught in mainstream schools, PRUs, specialist SEND settings and with students who’ve been out of education entirely. I understand anxiety, overwhelm, burnout, masking, executive‑function challenges and the emotional load that comes with being “different” in the school system.

My style is relaxed, encouraging and down‑to‑earth. I don’t do pressure or perfectionism—I help students understand what’s really being asked, break work into manageable chunks, and build the confidence to try, fail, and improve.

I adapt lessons to each student—using visuals, practical examples, scaffolding and clear, step‑by‑step explanations. For vision‑impaired or SEND learners, I’m comfortable creating tactile and accessible resources.

My biggest strength is my ability to build a rapport with both the students and their parents. I've worked with hundreds of families and almost always have a positive experience throughout the tutoring relationship.
