Hi, I’m Tony, a qualified teacher in England (PGCE
with QTS) and the founder of TutorAnt, which I started back in November 2014.
My passion for teaching began during my A levels, when
I joined a volunteer group running evening classes for school staff and their
families. I taught GCSE Biology, and quickly realised that the lessons often
went beyond the science -I was also helping with reading, writing, and building
confidence. I loved the challenge of finding ways to make learning click for
each person.
After completing my BSc in Chemistry and Biochemistry,
I carried on tutoring chemistry at university level for four years before
stepping into teaching roles here in England. Since then, I’ve worked as a
cover supervisor, support trainer, and teacher, delivering GCSE Maths, Science,
and English revision courses in secondary schools across Yorkshire and County
Durham.
I’ve taught learners from all sorts of backgrounds,
and my CELTA qualification means I can also support students who are learning
English as an additional language. Over the years, I’ve worked with people from
all over the world, from beginners to advanced learners, and every single one
has taught me something in return.
Teaching isn’t just my job -it’s what I love doing. If
we work together, my aim is simple: to help you feel confident, capable, and
ready to succeed. I look forward to helping you learn.
Teaching Philosophy
I believe good teaching is about finding the right
balance between kindness and challenge. Students need to know they’re supported
and understood, but they also need to learn to take responsibility for their
work. If we only focus on helping them, they can become dependent. If we only
push them, they can lose confidence.
My goal is to help students build both confidence and
character. I want them to understand that effort matters just as much as
results, and that learning isn’t just about passing exams - it’s about learning
how to think, question, and grow.
Whether I’m teaching science or English, I aim to make
lessons encouraging, honest, and practical, showing students that effort and
curiosity are key. Every learner deserves to feel capable and valued - my role
is to help them believe that, and to guide them in becoming confident,
responsible, and kind individuals who can make a difference.
