Tutor Profile
Teaching Experience
I am a qualified teacher with twenty years' experience teaching in London and Maidenhead schools. I have have received and delivered plenty of CPD and training which I can bring to my lessons. I have experience with all forms of SEN e.g. dyslexia, dyscalculia, ASD, ADHD. I have tutored secondary and primary aged students.
Tutoring Approach
Although I can tutor students of all abilities I specialise in students making weak progress, at risk of failing GCSEs, or with SEN e.g. dyscalculia or dyslexia. I use modern methods informed by research in pedagogy (for example CPA approach). Combined with a patient and calm approach, students can explore and learn, and expect to make accelerated progress.
I can identify gaps in knowledge, skills and concepts and I then work towards closing those gaps. I match teaching to learning style by using practical activities and visual aids, setting tasks which cement learning, and ongoing assessment of learning.

I have had about 4 sessions with Pierre, and I can already see a difference in my maths knowledge. He has a unique way of teaching and his passion for maths really shines through. I think the most important thing for me is that ever since the first 4 sessions, I have been looking forward to my sessions and no longer worried about whether or not I will be able to learn. He has a unique way of being able to show you how to answer questions and understand the topic. Pierre is a fantastic tutor and I have no doubt that I will be able to pass my maths exam and pursue health and social care :)

Pierre is a great tutor. He has supported my son with his preparation for Maths GCSEs. He helped my son by being able to explain things in a way that he was able to understand, not over complicating things. He provided excellent assistance whenever he was struggling which has boosted his confidence going into the exams.

Pierre is really patient and helpful for my son. He explains everything clearly and goes back over things if he doesn't understand. He sends us homework and we go over any issues. He clearly knows how to teach someone with dyslexia and my son has been finding it really beneficial.

Pierre is an outstanding tutor and I can’t recommend him highly enough. My son went to him as a struggling biologist and left as a confident, knowledgeable student ready to take his exam by storm. Pierre is highly passionate, deeply expert and immensely patient. He has excellent knowledge of the GCSE syllabus ensuring the lessons are tailored to what is required. He is able to bring biology to life with practical examples and make lessons fun. An exceptional tutor who is highly recommended.
