About Gideon
I'm a journalist and editor with degrees from Durham University (BA History) and City University London (MA International Journalism). I've worked as Editorial Director at Media Matters, editor of the Canadian Investment Review, and have written for numerous well-regarded publications, including Monocle, Post City's newspapers, iPolitics, the MacKenzie Institute, Ensemble, Compass News, Benefits Canada, and QP Briefing. I've managed editorial teams, met tight deadlines, and produced content that actually gets read by industry professionals. This real-world background means I teach writing and research skills that matter beyond school. I use games-based learning approaches that make lessons engaging while maintaining high expectations. I work with middle and high school students who want to improve their writing, research, and analytical thinking. Whether you're struggling with essays, preparing for exams, or planning a journalism or communications career, I provide practical skills and honest feedback that produces results.

I deliver results-focused tutoring that builds strong academic foundations through disciplined, structured learning. My approach emphasizes mastery of fundamentals, personal accountability and developing the work ethic students need for long-term success.
I use proven, traditional methods: clear instruction, guided practice, and rigorous assessment. Students learn core concepts thoroughly before advancing, ensuring solid knowledge building. I'm a firm believer in games-based education, using educational competitions and strategic thinking exercises that make learning engaging while maintaining academic rigor. I emphasize proper study habits, time management, and taking responsibility for progress.

Direct instruction of new material (15 minutes)
Supervised practice with game-based activities (20 minutes)

What Sets Me Apart:
I maintain high expectations while providing patient support through structured, purposeful activities. Students discover that effort leads to achievement through consistent practice, strategic thinking, and dedication. I communicate regularly with parents about progress and areas needing attention.
Target Students:
I work with middle school through college students who need structured guidance to reach their potential. This includes students preparing for standardized tests, those struggling with specific subjects, and motivated learners seeking academic excellence. I help instill discipline and study skills necessary for educational success and future achievement.
Parents appreciate my focus on character development alongside academic growth.
