About Us
Crowborough Tutors is an affiliation of a small group of friends who have been working as tutors since 1999. The two principal tutors are David Chamberlain and David Flynn, with Jasmine Chamberlain also providing support. We are all university graduates, have experience in industry and commerce, and have taught in universities both in the UK and overseas. Associated with us are a few others whose expertise is outside our own.
Tuition is mostly in our own homes, since we have young children of our own. For students up to GCSE this is in the late afternoon and early evening. A-level students may have more flexibility in their timetables and frequently come to us in the daytime, as do students being home-taught.
Most of our students come to us following personal recommendations from parents, teachers and even directly from students. We have students coming to us not just from Crowborough but also from Tunbridge Wells, Sevenoaks, East Grinstead, Uckfield and Haywards Heath. Some are from local primary and secondary schools, some from Kent grammar schools and some from private schools.
David Chamberlain’s main interest is in Mathematics, although he also covers science and ICT subjects to GCSE. He has a BSc (Hons) in Engineering from London University and spent most of his career designing and teaching business information systems courses at universities here and overseas.
David Flynn has a BSc (Hons) in Physics from Manchester University and an MPhil in Engineering & Management. He specialises in tutoring for the 11+ and Common Entrance examinations and in Physics and Chemistry for GCSE and A-level.
Jasmine Chamberlain has a BSc (Hons) in Computer Science from the University of Essex, an MSc from the London School of Economics and holds a TEFL (Teaching of English as a Foreign Language) qualification. She is bilingual in English and Mandarin (Putonghua), and fluent in the Cantonese and Hakka dialects. She specialises in English tuition to Key Stage 3, in the English Language elements of GCSE, and in Mandarin Chinese.
