His popularity as a teacher and immense managerial experience led to Stephen moving on quickly to become Head of Mathematics at St Margaret\u2019s School in Bushey and within a year, Director of Studies.\u00a0 With the introduction of the new GCSE and A Level curriculum, Stephen has ensured that he has kept up to date developing his GCSE and A level knowledge of not only Mathematics but also Physics, successfully tutoring pupils in Oxbridge entrance examinations in both subjects.<\/p>\n<p>A passionate educator, Stephen\u2019s greatest enjoyment is putting the \u2018wow\u2019 back into pupils\u2019 learning. Keen to develop students\u2019 conceptual understanding, Stephen is a practical mathematician and physicist, using resources to enhance explanations and focusing on investigative, open ended techniques, where applicable. Stephen is experienced in teaching students from Year 7 all the way to Year 13.\u00a0 His expertise includes teaching STEP, MAT, PAT, TMUA, ENGAA, NSAA and Thinking Skills Assessment (TSA), to potential Oxbridge candidates.<\/p>\n<p>Stephen is DBS checked.\u00a0 He is married to Michelle, a fellow Mathematics teacher and has 3 grown up children.\u00a0 References can be supplied on request.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Stephen Moore MA (Cantab), MEng, PGCE Having graduated from Trinity College, Cambridge with a Masters in Engineering, Stephen Moore started his working life with Ford Motor Company designing cars and qualifying as a Chartered Engineer in the process.\u00a0 Moving onto<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":82,"menu_order":2,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-346","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/illuminatetutors.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/346","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/illuminatetutors.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/illuminatetutors.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/illuminatetutors.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/illuminatetutors.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=346"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/illuminatetutors.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/346\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":602,"href":"https:\/\/illuminatetutors.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/346\/revisions\/602"}],"up":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/illuminatetutors.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/pages\/82"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/illuminatetutors.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=346"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
