About Adam
- What kind of experience do you have?
The first six years were teaching at a primary school in Watford, Hertfordshire and for the last year I have been tutoring. My tutees' ages range from 6 to over 60. As a primary school teacher I taught from years 2 to 6 but mainly with children in the upper school, therefore I know what it takes to get children successfully through their SATs exams. My success rate is high. Feedback from my clients has been very positive (please see my testimonials).
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Yes - I have a 'Subject access' letter from the Police National Computer (PNC) records, which states: 'There is no information held about you on the PNC'. A copy of this letter has been uploaded. (See profile to download)
- Tell me about some of your current students.
Currently I tutor nine pupils, ages range from 6 to 11 years old. One of them began at level 4B in maths and within six months took the Level 6 maths paper where he has achieved a Level 6. Another pupil, who recently received his SATs results, went from a 3B in maths to a 4B. Other pupils have grown in confidence in their subjects and have overcome their fears rapidly; this has stemmed, in large part, from allowing the pupils to always see and be proud of their progress no matter how small these may be at times. It also comes from assessing pupils accurately so work is pitched appropriately, neither being too demanding nor too easy.
Spanish students again need learning individually tailored to their needs so at the beginning I will always ascertain what the student wants to achieve from our sessions. Is it a qualification you have undertaken, travel Spanish needed or just something you've always wanted to do - a tick on the 'Bucket list'?

I am an experienced primary teacher who tutors in KS1/ 2 Maths & English, as well as teaching Spanish to all levels. My philosophy is all about reaching one's potential in an enjoyable, engaging way and quickly instilling confidence.
- Which subject(s) do you teach?
I teach KS1 & 2 Maths and English.
I teach all levels of Spanish, from having fun and holiday Spanish, up to GCSE and 'A' Levels.
- Tell me about your qualifications.
I obtained a 2.1 in Spanish language from my university in 1997 (this included a year abroad in Costa Rica where I researched my thesis as well as passed 'advanced' Spanish courses at San Jose University).
In 2008 I achieved 'Qualified teacher Status' (QTS) from Hertfordshire University.
- How much do you charge?
I charge £40 per hour for my lessons on an individual basis. A reduction of £5 for siblings.
I also can teach groups of children, for every extra child I would reduce the individual price by £5 again.
If you want me to travel outside of Tring I would add between £5-£10 extra for travel costs, depending on the distances covered.
- Where do you teach?
I teach at home, online, as well as travel to the homes of my tutees in Tring, Berkhamsted, Chesham, Hemel Hempstead (Hertfordshire) Wendover & Aston Clinton. I am able to travel to your home although I would have to add relevant travel expenses, depending on how distant the location.

Also I am available on Saturday morning from 9am until 2pm.
Homeschooling - If extra work is needed during school holidays or during school hours, I am happy to arrange that too.

KS1 & 2 Maths and English - I teach from Year 2 to Year 6 (ages 6 to 11).
Spanish - all ages, from beginners up to more advanced (primary Spanish up to A level).

- Do you have a personal message for students?
I know what it's like to be a learner; one who is struggling and also one that is thriving and achieving. These experiences have taught me an enormous amount, shaping my approach to the way I tutor. Effective learning is about teamwork, overcoming barriers, being encouraged, being proud of your achievements, working hard, having your needs tailored to whilst feeling relaxed and happy in the process. With these in place, everything is possible and I hope to be able to prove that to you.

Adam tutors both my children, age 9 and 11. My son has recently done his SATS and due to the excellent tuition he receives from Adam each week he passed with flying colours....level 6 in Maths and level 5 in English!!! Adam sets him challenging yet appropriate work, along with homework and gave him the confidence to believe he could pass at this high level in both subjects. We would highly recommend him to parents looking for an outstanding tutor.
Only had 1 session so far, but very pleased! My son, who usually avoids homework, was very enthusiastic, and insisted on completing his homework from Adam within 5 minutes of him leaving! Very motivational, calm and patient. My son has improved already after only 1 hour and is actually looking forward to the next lesson.
We are extremely happy with the progress that Ronnie has made since commencing lessons with Adam. Adam is patient and encouraging, so that Ronnie has gained confidence in his own ability, as well as the vast improvement of his understanding of numeracy and literacy. It is clear that Adam prepares his lessons to suit Ronnie's individual needs, building upon the weaker areas and consolidating his learning. Ronnie looks forward to his lessons, and has found a new enjoyment in learning. Highly recommended.
Adam started with us a couple of weeks ago and we are very impressed. He is extremely professional. prepares work for the children to do during their tuition and sets them realistic homework. Both my children have said they really like Adam and my little girl is actually starting to enjoy maths for the first time ever!! I would highly recommend him as a tutor.
We are delighted with our son's progress and improved confidence since your help and involvement. He feels fully at ease with the style and manner in which teaching is delivered and his concentration for maths is already much better. Thank you for your continued attention to see his grade improve further over the coming months.
