What students and parents say:
I met David for a trial lesson with my son and he was wonderful and my son was very responsive to him. We are looking forward to proceeding with weekly lessons.
Vesna
My son liked him very much, he is calm and kind. We've only had one meeting so far, but we have booked David for a series of tutoring sessions on study skills, and we are looking forward to it.
Emily
David and my 11-year-old son have really hit it off, and he has been fantastic at figuring out how to motivate and encourage him. In particular, David has been helping my son organise and express himself in writing for subjects as diverse as History, English, Geography and Science, and judging by his recent homework grades, he is showing marked improvement.

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.
