Design and technology prepares pupils to participate in tomorrow's rapidly changing technologies. They learn to think and intervene creatively to improve quality of life. The subject calls for pupils to become autonomous and creative problem-solvers, as individuals and members of a team. They must look for needs, wants and opportunities and respond to them by developing a range of ideas and making products and systems. They combine practical skills with an understanding of aesthetics, social and environmental issues, function and industrial practices. As they do so, they reflect on and evaluate present and past design and technology, its uses and effects. Through design and technology, all pupils can become discriminating and informed users of products, and become innovators. Book a free chat

Design Technology & STEM Tutor: Student GCSE grades

An email from a student who sat his A level DT exam in the summer of 2022:

“Dear Jeremy,

I’m writing to thank you for your help in getting me an A* in (A Level) Design! You were a massive help and the theory exams would have been tough without you. 

The rest were A’s so I’m going to Cardiff! 

Once again, a big thanks to you.”

Ralph C (UK)

And…

“5 stars for this teacher!

Honestly, he was a lifesaver and guided my child with patience and gave her many exam tips that her class teacher failed to do so.

Mr. Jeremy took the time to review all fundamental concepts and did loads of practice papers with her. From constant C’s to a final result of an A for IGSCE.

Well done to both student and teacher.

Thank you Mr. Jeremy. We are glad we found you!”

About me

I аm а quаlified (QTS: Qualified Teacher Status) and experienced (10+ years) teacher of Design and Technology and STEM. As an undergraduate student I completed my Batchelor’s in Graphic Design (Level 6). I later completed a conversion degree in Design & Technology and then a Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) at the Master’s level (Level 7).

NB: The Postgraduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) sits at Level 7 of the Framework for Higher Education Qualifications, while the Professional Certificate in Education (ProfGCE) sits at Level 6. Parents should ensure that the level of tutor’s teaching qualification is clear and transparent to them.

I teach the British Curriculum, as it is one of the most well-known and highly-regarded curricula in the world of international education. Schools from Dubai to Shanghai choose the British Curriculum because they see it as the best choice for providing their students with a first-class education. Parents from around the world seek out British schools, and British tutors, to prepare their children for success at British universities and beyond.

As an independent private tutor, I have successfully taught and supported students from Romania, Cyprus, Turkey, Dubai, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Malaysia, Singapore, the UAE and Nepal for the past 4 years.

As well as design skills I teach: Project Management, Computer Aided Design (Fusion 360), Computer Aided Manufacturing (FDM and Stereolithography) and introductory Robotics.

Is your child:

• Home-schooled or not coping at regular school?

• An Arkwright Scholar?

• Gifted and Talented?

• Doing retakes?

• Neurodiverse?

• Or have an EHC plan or Special Educational Needs statement for:

  • ADHD
  • Dyslexia
  • Dyscalculia
  • or something else?

Or maybe you are just looking for extra structure and support?

If your child needs, or wants, extra support then I can definitely help them. As well as prep’ing for exams and jump-starting coursework I can help prepare your son or daughter for 13+ or 16+ scholarships at independent colleges or schools. I also teach students Fusion 360 CAD software and how to use a 3D printer (I have an Ender 3 v2).

Design Technology & STEM Tutor: STEM Students using 3D Printer and CAD / CAM skills to design & make an Antweight Robot

I was Second in Charge at a high performing Design Technology Department at an outstanding boys grammar school in Sutton (Sutton is an Outer London borough in London, England, UK) and I also developed and ran our DT department’s STEM clubs. Basically I love to teach students how to design and make cool stuff whether that’s with traditional tools & materials or with modern CAD/CAM software and 3D printers.

In order to keep up to date and relevant, I also invest in my own Life Long Learning:

  • VEX IQ Robotics – An international robot building, driving and programming competition for teams of elementary and middle school students

  • F1 in Schools – An international STEM (science, technology, engineering, mathematics) competition for school children, in which groups of students have to design and manufacture a miniature car out of the official F1 Model Block using CAD/CAM tools

  • Fusion 360 Fundamentals – 4 day course

  • Solar Bluetooth MP3 Player for the NEA

  • Marker Rendering

  • Sketching for Development

Pre-Covid I used to run the FabLab: a space where students could come design, create, build, experiment and learn at their own pace (students also used it to catch up on coursework etc!).  I taught, in the old-fashioned sense of the word, in the FabLab: I also facilitated, opened doors and pointed students in the right direction. I like students to be enthusiastic, engaged and  independent enough to see opportunities and to grab them and, as a “starter for 10”, I’ve run 3 projects via the FabLab: VEX IQ Robotics, F1 in Schools and Antweight Robots – please take a look around this site, or, if you have a project of your own you want to pursue, please contact me and let me teach you how!
