What students and parents say:
David has been my tutor from second year of my Childhood Studies degree, with David’s help I was able to get a first class degree! David was always prompt and professional and would go out of his way to help me get my work in on time and to the highest standard. I cannot remember the amount of times he read over my dissertation. I actually learnt the skill of critical writing through David’s feedback as he would always advise me to write clearly and taught me how to use citations correctly!! David is still my Tutor he is currently supporting me through my Masters in special educational needs, he has also supported two of my sisters through their PGCE’s. David also supported me to write personal statements for my application for postgraduate study. David had such a vast knowledge in a wide range of topics ranging from SEN, legislation surrounding education, teaching methods and research. I have already recommended David to my own family and will be referring him to other family members stating university in September! Fantastic tutor in so many areas. Take a chance you will not regret it!

David was fantastic in helping me to get over the final hurdle of my dissertation. He was eager to help and quick to respond, providing clear feedback and guidance when I needed it. Would definitely recommend him to others in a similar situation.

School Consultancy
It is commonly known (and widely evidenced) that disadvantaged pupils encounter additional challenges and barriers, and often do not perform as well as other pupils. With the added pressure on school administration, teachers and reduced funding, many children are losing out on fulfilling their potential.

Utilising existing pupil premium funding (Gov.com Pupil Premium Review, 2022), I provide proactive and effective engagement of disadvantaged students through the Cycles of Engagement model.
The Cycles of Engagement model is constructed from data and findings from:
My doctoral research documenting success stories from pupil premium (Key Stage 2) children, experiencing adversity, who achieved better than expected.
Two years tutoring GCSE English Language and Literature to 157 pupil premium pupils (Key Stage 3 and 4). Many of these pupils were SEN, disengaged from their studies, and had disruptive behaviour.
Theoretical underpinnings from psychology, interest/motivation theory, sociology and philosophy.
This research and practice has led me to devise a teaching mechanism designed to generate the greatest academic progress in school for pupils facing deprivation and adversity.
The Cycles of Engagement model combines sequences of the highest positive effect interventions, as identified by the EEF, into a dynamic system that generates momentum away from barriers and challenges of disadvantage, propelling pupils towards desired outcomes of metacognition and self-regulation, internal locus of control, growth mindset and resilience.
Schools should aim to intervene with maximum positive effect. The Cycles of Engagement model provides a template, alongside detailed explanations of the best pedagogical practices, as demonstrated by research and practice, to maximise academic progress. As an intervention this model is designed to expand your school’s effect on improving the life chances of the least advantaged pupils.
