Once again, this information has trickled in over a number of years, to
a succession of webmasters on this site, so there is no guarantee that it
is up to date (though if informed about
any errors, we will rectify them immediately). Any typos here are
likely to be the fault of the site administrators rather than the
tutors!
This information is provided in good faith; this website cannot vouch
for any of the tutors below, and no endorsement or recommendation is
implied by their being listed here. Prospective students are urged to
satisfy themselves of a tutor's credentials before choosing to study with
them - it may be worth asking on our discussion forum
as somebody there may have experience with one of the tutors listed.
If you are tutor and you wish to have your details listed
here, please contact us with a brief description of yourself and your experience, and attaching a CV if possible.
