Welcome to Inkerman Tutors

Founder & Latin Tutor

Hello, and thanks for visiting our site. Here’s a little about us, and what makes Inkerman Tutors different.

When my young family and I moved to Chichester in 2008, I tried to loacate a nearby agency where I could register as a tutor, but there wasn’t one. Online tutoring platforms were taking off and local businesses were closing down. Since then, the tutoring websites have proliferated, making it easier than ever to find a tutor. But finding someone online and finding the right person for your child are two very different things.

When it comes to education and exams, parents need to know that the person they choose is knowledgeable, reliable and experienced, as well as patient, kind and inspiring. A good tutor does more than explain a subject: they understand the journey a student is on, build their confidence and help them find a way forward.

As a Latin teacher working in two local schools, one prep and one secondary, I had excellent professional contacts and a clear sense of what makes a good tutor. In 2016, I set up Inkerman Tutors to offer parents something more personal: carefully considered introductions to tutors I know and trust.

What makes us different is the personal touch. We meet prospective tutors face to face and take the time to get to know them. Our tutors are qualified, experienced professionals, and we pride ourselves on matching each student with someone who will connect with them, understand their needs and help them make progress.

We believe that a successful tutoring relationship depends on more than subject knowledge alone. It takes good communication, an understanding of the individual student and the ability to inspire confidence. Our parent testimonials and students’ exam results reflect the value of getting that relationship right.

Over the years, I’ve built up a network of excellent colleagues and contacts within the teaching profession, and our tutors’ own professional networks have helped us grow. With online tutoring offering greater flexibility and convenience, we can now make carefully chosen introductions to families well beyond Chichester, while retaining the personal approach on which Inkerman Tutors was founded.

I’m proud of the tutors we work with, and confident in what they can offer. Our aim is simple: to help your child grow in confidence, develop a genuine enjoyment of learning and achieve their potential.

Our Tutors

Keir

I have 20 years experience of teaching Physics A-level and Triple Science GCSE in a successful school rated Outstanding by Ofsted. For the last decade, I have been Head of Physics where I developed a deep insight into exam requirements. I help students visualise problems properly, grasp the underlying principles then apply them logically: a process that makes Physics far more intuitive. I have helped many students reach their goal of studying at Russell group universities and enter careers in Science, Engineering and Aviation. My personal interests are philosophy of consciousness, garden design and photography.

I’ve been teaching Science in both state and private sector at all levels, specialising in Biology. I enjoy the company of teenagers and can help remove their fear of Science. I have direct experience of many different GCSE syllabuses and Science combinations. I like to think I can encourage the weakest while also stretching the most able.
