David Robins
I am David Robins, I am a tutor based in London. My professional and
academic background is in science and mathematics; having worked in industry
for some years, I have decided to try a career change, and go into the private
tuition business. I provide
one-to-one tuition for Key Stage 3 and Key Stage 4 Maths (up to GCSE level).
This is provided at the student’s home, so no travel on their part is required.
I cover west and south-west London, and north Surrey.
There are
significant benefits to private tuition. The student can receive individual
attention, meaning that their specific difficulties with the subject matter can
be addressed more effectively than in a normal classroom environment. The fact
that a particular student is experiencing problems with a certain topic may go
unnoticed in the classroom. Simply as a result of the fact that 25 or more
pupils are being taught together, even the best teaching can be of a "one
size fits all" nature.
A one-to-one tutor, on the other hand, is in a
position to listen to the individual student’s concerns, and to discern his or
her unique learning style, meaning that gaps in knowledge and understanding can
be filled. The home is also free from the distractions that are present in the
school environment, and the familiar setting and relaxed atmosphere are
conducive to effective learning.
I am
familiar with the specifications of the major examination boards, meaning that
tuition is tailored to what the pupils needs to know in order to succeed. I can
also provide materials such as worksheets and past exam papers, meaning that
students have the opportunity to practise the techniques that they need to
master.
Qualifications
I have a BSc (Honours) degree in
Genetics from Cardiff University.
My
mathematical qualifications are as follows:
Level 2
qualification in Pure Mathematics from the Open University (undergraduate
level) : Pass with Distinction
A-Level
Mathematics (Pure with Mechanics) : Grade A
GCSE Mathematics
: Grade A
I am fully DBS
checked, with an Enhanced certificate
I offer my services at a
competitive price, and am reliable and patient, with an approachable manner. I
am flexible in terms of my availability, and can take evening and weekend
appointments. I view this work as an opportunity to help others, rather than
simply as a job, meaning that I put pupils’ needs first, and operate in
accordance with their academic requirements.
