In the ever-changing landscape of education, the journey from mobile tuition to establishing a brick-and-mortar centre and finally transitioning to online tutoring represents an evolution that mirrors the adaptability and innovation across the world of work. In the early days of my tuition practice I would generally work with clients in their homes. It wasn't uncommon for me to travel overseas for extended stints living with clients as I prepared students for public exams. Eventually I decided to open my own brick-and-mortar centre in West Sheffield, bringing a touch of what I had experienced in the world of elite private tuition in London and overseas to my home city. This evolution cumulated in starting online tuition in full-time in 2019 and developing resources and text guides in conjunction with this move online.
Mobile Tuition: The Birth of Personalized Education
My own journey started with an exploration in the world of elite private tuition in London and France. The majoirity of my contrats were with individual families, focusing on making the adjustment from the one education system to another - usually European or American to British. I started out with a focus on Languages and English but added Maths GCSE to my portfolio of subjects over time. I always enjoyed this personalized approach to teaching which allowed for individualized attention, fostering positive working relationships with students and their families while addressing specific learning needs.
The Rise of a Tuition Centre: A Hub of Learning and Growth
Driven by the desire to expand impact, I transitioned to establishing a tuition center in West Sheffield. This move marked the birth of a learning hub, a physical space where students could converge, learn, and grow academically. The centre became a beacon for academic excellence, offering a diverse range of subjects and specialized programs - from GCSE and A-level programs in the academic year to hosting international students for international programs throughout the summer. It fostered a sense of community and collaboration among students while maintaining the personalized touch that defines private tuition.
Embracing the Digital Shift: Online Tuition for Global Reach
As technology continued to redefine education, I began to recognize the potential of online platforms. I started offering online classes in 2016 and by 2019 had gone full-time with online tuition. With the goal of reaching a wider audience and adapting to the changing educational landscape, the transition to online tuition was the next natural progression. This shift opened doors to students not just in Sheffield but across the globe. It allowed for flexibility in scheduling, innovative teaching methods, and the integration of cutting-edge educational tools. To date I have worked with students from across the UK, France, Russia, Germany, Spain, Italy, China, Taiwan and various countries in the Middle East.
