About Me
I tutor Business Studies and Accounting to BSc undergraduate and Professional level. I also tutor (at both GCSE, A-level and IB)
Geography, Politics, Business, Accounting and Economics. I also tutor GCSE sciences. I am a good tutor because I am enthusiastic and very patient. I have also served as an assessor for an accounting professional body.
I am a Chartered Accountant with a first degree in Geography (which was my best subject in school). I got my Chartered Institutre of Public Finance professional qualification in Nov 2003 (CPFA) and my Associate Chareterd Accountant (ACA) in Nov 1989. I have always loved teaching imparting knowledge and I also tutor Politics and Economics having worked in the public sector for over 13 years.

I have been a tutor for over 8 years and I am also a youth mentor. I work with a variety of students from secondary school (GCSE) to postgraduates. The subjects I teach are A level Geography, Politics, Economics, Accounting and Business Studies. I am also very familiar with the Edexcel, OCR and AQA syllabuses for these subjects
In my day job as an accountant I also have experience with teaching people for whom English is not their first language and those that do not have much experience with accounting and finance. I have a lot of experience in teaching University students who have challenges with Financial and management accounting, ACCA professional students and finance related courses as well as MBA students. I have been fortunate to see a lot of my past students graduate from top universities and florish in thier chosen careers
