I continue to teach because I love it and it comes naturally to me.
It's fun and I wake up excited at the prospect of engaging young people in a positive learning experience.


This is how I work with young people when I tutor.

1. I interview you and your child to determine what your needs are and the desired outcomes.

*We set up a free inquiry based mind mapping exercise.

2. I have a curriculum which is US and UK developed in study skills. I also have a courses in mind mapping, pathway mapping, goal mapping, skills auditing and career planning and more.

3. We will tailor a course specifically for your needs.

4. We agree on a hourly rate or a weekly, monthly rate and we begin.

I am always open to feedback from parents and students. I also learn a great deal from my tutoring and educating is a great passion of mine.

I look forward to assisting you to learn how to learn and you WILL get positive results. Brendan
