That kind of progress and confidence boost is what drives me as a tutor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Industry Insight<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Alongside my academic work, I spent two years working with&nbsp;South Yorkshire Police&nbsp;as an&nbsp;Appropriate Adult, supporting service users in custody during arrest procedures, including interviews, rights readings, DNA testing and searches. This real-world experience adds a unique depth to the subjects I teach, particularly&nbsp;Criminology and Law.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Why Choose Me?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When you learn with me, you&#8217;re choosing a tutor with&nbsp;real-world experience,&nbsp;strong academic foundations, and a&nbsp;track record of student success. I offer clear, supportive, personalised tuition that empowers students to build confidence, improve academic skills, and achieve high grades, whether you&#8217;re working toward exams, coursework, or just trying to get your head around a tricky topic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">For More Information complete the form below.<\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wpforms-container wpforms-container-full wpforms-block wpforms-block-9230f199-6840-4b3f-a4a8-2cb0d2aab909 wpforms-render-modern\" id=\"wpforms-30\"><form id=\"wpforms-form-30\" class=\"wpforms-validate wpforms-form wpforms-ajax-form\" data-formid=\"30\" method=\"post\" enctype=\"multipart\/form-data\" action=\"\/site\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/60\" data-token=\"f2eb8eb41b5ff1b35ec2ab095f9abcf0\" data-token-time=\"1777938327\"><noscript class=\"wpforms-error-noscript\">Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.<\/noscript><div id=\"wpforms-error-noscript\" style=\"display: none;\">Please enable JavaScript in your browser to complete this form.<\/div><div class=\"wpforms-field-container\"><div id=\"wpforms-30-field_1-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-name\" data-field-id=\"1\"><fieldset><legend class=\"wpforms-field-label\">Name <span class=\"wpforms-required-label\" aria-hidden=\"true\">*<\/span><\/legend><div class=\"wpforms-field-row wpforms-field-medium\"><div class=\"wpforms-field-row-block wpforms-first wpforms-one-half\"><input type=\"text\" id=\"wpforms-30-field_1\" class=\"wpforms-field-name-first wpforms-field-required\" name=\"wpforms[fields][1][first]\" aria-errormessage=\"wpforms-30-field_1-error\" required><label for=\"wpforms-30-field_1\" class=\"wpforms-field-sublabel after\">First<\/label><\/div><div class=\"wpforms-field-row-block wpforms-one-half\"><input type=\"text\" id=\"wpforms-30-field_1-last\" class=\"wpforms-field-name-last wpforms-field-required\" name=\"wpforms[fields][1][last]\" aria-errormessage=\"wpforms-30-field_1-last-error\" required><label for=\"wpforms-30-field_1-last\" class=\"wpforms-field-sublabel after\">Last<\/label><\/div><\/div><\/fieldset><\/div><div id=\"wpforms-30-field_2-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-email\" data-field-id=\"2\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-30-field_2\">Email <span class=\"wpforms-required-label\" aria-hidden=\"true\">*<\/span><\/label><input type=\"email\" id=\"wpforms-30-field_2\" class=\"wpforms-field-medium wpforms-field-required\" name=\"wpforms[fields][2]\" spellcheck=\"false\" aria-errormessage=\"wpforms-30-field_2-error\" required><\/div>\t\t<div id=\"wpforms-30-field_4-container\"\n\t\t\tclass=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-text\"\n\t\t\tdata-field-type=\"text\"\n\t\t\tdata-field-id=\"4\"\n\t\t\t>\n\t\t\t<label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-30-field_4\" >about bit you..<\/label>\n\t\t\t<input type=\"text\" id=\"wpforms-30-field_4\" class=\"wpforms-field-medium\" name=\"wpforms[fields][4]\" >\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div id=\"wpforms-30-field_5-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-text\" data-field-id=\"5\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-30-field_5\">Contact Number <span class=\"wpforms-required-label\" aria-hidden=\"true\">*<\/span><\/label><input type=\"text\" id=\"wpforms-30-field_5\" class=\"wpforms-field-medium wpforms-field-required\" name=\"wpforms[fields][5]\" aria-errormessage=\"wpforms-30-field_5-error\" required><\/div><div id=\"wpforms-30-field_3-container\" class=\"wpforms-field wpforms-field-textarea\" data-field-id=\"3\"><label class=\"wpforms-field-label\" for=\"wpforms-30-field_3\">Tell me a little bit about you..<\/label><textarea id=\"wpforms-30-field_3\" class=\"wpforms-field-medium\" name=\"wpforms[fields][3]\" aria-errormessage=\"wpforms-30-field_3-error\" ><\/textarea><\/div><script>\n\t\t\t\t( function() {\n\t\t\t\t\tconst style = document.createElement( 'style' );\n\t\t\t\t\tstyle.appendChild( document.createTextNode( '#wpforms-30-field_4-container { position: absolute !important;
