Simon Jarvis, BA (Hons), PGCE

Teacher

I have been a teacher for over 20 years, teaching students from Primary, Secondary, and Further Education. I have experience in senior management and as a Head of Year. My subjects include Drama and Performing Arts, English, and Maths.

I joined Apricot in 2024 and enjoy working with students either in a 1:1 or group setting. I am a firm believer in giving students the best opportunity to succeed. Listening to how students prefer to learn is vital and I create a safe learning environment that is comfortable for them. Apricot students are a joy to teach online and this way of teaching ensures that I can make a difference in encouraging and preparing young people for the future.

If you do not wish to speak … fine, we can use a chat box.

If you need to go back over things or ask more detailed questions … I will do that too

Developing self-belief and confidence in your skills and knowledge is part of what I will do.

Outside of Apricot I lead a full and active life. I am an Actor, Writer, a Scout Leader, work on a local farm, and I continue training in First Aid.

I continue with my career as an actor, when the time and opportunity allow, and I love exploring and hiking whatever hills, dales, and mountains I can reach.

Never a dull moment in the Jarvis household.
