About Gillian
I have been working in education for 15 years, and for 6 years as a full-time tutor. I’ve completed over 6000 hours of tuition. I love teaching physics because it allows us to understand all the best ideas from the most interesting people throughout history; to understand the world around us, and perhaps learn to change it.

I love learning (and teaching)!
Sharing my understanding of science and the way the physical world works is a joy.
I begin by gathering information to find out what the student knows, and where their sticking points are. I will talk to the student, and examine with them any information we have available, such as recent exam results or teacher reports.
Then we will make a decision on what to tackle first, with the emphasis on topics that they are currently working on in class, or topics that will help them to access the rest of the curriculum.
Images and analogies help students to link new learning to their own real-world experiences, so that the knowledge is meaningful.
I also make an effort to help students to see how this knowledge is useful in the real world, to help them to see that the knowledge has meaning.

Gill has been tutoring my children for nearly 6 years if not more. She is patient and very understanding and shows a variety of ways with dealing with mathematical problems. My children throughly enjoy their sessions with Gill and they have shown a greater understanding of Maths and English which is evident in their exam results. She really makes learning Maths and English very enjoyable. Each lesson is catered differently to all three of my children, as she knows what methods work best with what child. Something which is very rare for teachers/tutors to identify and implement in their teaching, but to Gill it's second nature.
I wish I had someone like Gill when I was struggling with Maths in secondary school.
She is truly hands down the best tutor my children have had.
Gillian Harthwaite is an amazing tutor! Our daughter ,who is autistic, had been out of school for some months and online learning seemed the best option. However she had also expressed a dislike of zoom . So what to do?! Well, Gillian was incredibly understanding as she has experience working with nurodivergent students.
So she gave options..face to face online, online with camera off, doing the work via chat, or sending the work over to be done.
She consistently went above and beyond to make learning accessible and enjoyable, and it has been a joy to watch our daughter's confidence soar once more.
Gillian is professional, reliable, understanding and very approachable. She responds promptly to any questions we have regarding the curriculum etc. And she keeps us updated on our daughter's progress.
She has prepared our daughter well for her upcoming GCSEs in Maths and English.
I would highly recommend Gillian to anyone seeking a tutor for their child.
I genuinely cannot fault her at all. A*!GIll started working with my dyslexic son in the autumn before my son’s GCSEs. My son was really struggling with English both language and literature and I was really concerned that he was going to fail his English language GCSE as in the end of year exams he got a borderline pass/fail grade - scrapped a 4, having also fallen asleep in the exam because he said he was bored! Things were not looking good... However, Gill managed to motivate my son to try and overcome some of his difficulties with English - he not only passed his English Lang GCSE he got a solid grade 7 (an A in old money) and huge thanks go to Gill- she is a star!!!
I met Gill at university where we took classes together. Gill is one of the most intelligent people I know - she has a great analytical mind and is able to tackle intellectual subjects with ease. What's more important though, is that she is also a gifted teacher; Gill is patient and empathetic, and able to come up with creative solutions. I would wholeheartedly recommend her as a tutor - she will do her very best to help you achieve your best.
Gill has tutored my son 1:1 in English & Maths for 12months. After the 1st lesson he was more positive about learning & his confidence has steadily grown.
Gill has tailored lessons for his curriculum syllabuses, individual needs, learning style & interests; making the sessions enjoyable & impacting significantly on school progress. He is now achieving more than predicted in both areas.
Gill is friendly, professional & has a fantastic ability to tune into students’ needs & enthuse them with her passion for learning.
An outstanding tutor that I would fully recommend.I've known Gillian for over ten years when we met at the Uni of Birmingham. Gillian is one of the smartest, brilliant and loveliest people I know. She is a brilliant tutor and I would absolutely recommend her to anyone!
