I'm busy planning how to advertise and hope I'll be able to get going very soon. Thank you for all your helpful advice and for the material you provided me with. I still feel quite nervous about starting but also quite excited about the possibilities tutoring offers. Your book has turned my life around. I'm now doing something worthwhile. You provided me with some great tips on getting started and I purchased a copy of your book. I'm pleased to say that the business is going well. I have six pupils at present and all are making good progress. The parents are also very happy with the services I'm providing. I am combining this work with supply teaching during the day and working in the local library two days a week to ensure a regular income. I would like to thank you again. Starting tuition is the best thing I could have done after recovering from my illness and your advice and book have been invaluable.

Author Information

About the Author: Graham Woodward. Graham was born in 1947, peculiarly called the 'bulge' year - presumably named because everyone involved in the war celebrated the victory on coming home in the traditional way of the times. Graham was brought up and educated in a time when education meant something, in the 'good' old days of polio, impetigo, televisions with nine inch screens, and enough malt and cod liver oil stuck to your balaclava to last until playtime. Fortunately his liberty bodice and knitted tank top prevented him from falling victim to diphtheria and TB. Enough of the humour; as anyone under the age of 50 reading this will wonder what on earth is being discussed. After leaving school he joined his father's engineering company as an apprentice, quickly progressing to draughtsman and eventually to works manager. He was one of the youngest people ever to be given full membership of the BIM (British Institute of Management) at 22 years of age and subsequently sat on the London Chamber of Commerce Examining Board representing the BIM executive committee. He joined a televised sports publicity company as their northern area manager and completely turned the branch around; designing and implementing many new concepts. In 1985 he became managing director of his own company, servicing many lucrative contracts at major nationwide sports venues and events. Following a long and varied career in management from the age of 20, Graham began to get involved in career advice, training and recruitment. He managed an executive recruitment company specialising in business and technical appointments. This led to him lecturing in further education colleges, teaching BTEC and City and Guilds in engineering, mathematics and science. He has written and marked final exam papers for both these institutions. Graham has frequently featured in national magazine articles and the education columns of newspapers. Also an accomplished graphologist, Graham has given lectures and practical demonstrations to professional business groups on this subject. In addition to analysing the handwriting of a number of celebrities, he is seconded to several companies who use his skills to have the CV's of prospective candidates analysed. He has worked in many secondary schools, supporting statemented and special needs children and also liaising with their parents. In 1992 he began to tutor children individually in their own homes. This quickly became a lucrative occupation leading to the formation of his own company. Graham is in great demand, not only to tutor children privately, but also to train people from all walks of life who wish to embark on a new and rewarding career.
