Tutor Biography I have been tutoring for the past 9 years in GTI and have 35 years experience. I find it very rewarding to share my knowledge and skill with others who want to improve their skill or learn a new one. QQI Level 5 is structured to give one the knowledge, help and encouragement that is needed to progress further. This course is very much hands-on and practice is encouraged outside of class.
