I am a qualified teacher with 15 years’ experience in schools, teaching both whole class and individual learners. I have a maths degree and I am looking to tutor GCSE and A-level maths.

Every student has their own strengths, talents and learning styles. When I meet a student, the first thing I do is to assess their needs to establish what they know and what they need to learn. My fifteen years’ experience as a teacher have taught me that understanding the student and building a strong relationship based on mutual trust and respect is key to a student fulfilling their potential.

Over the years, I have developed a strong knowledge of pedagogy, of different learning styles and of methods to ensure complete understanding.

I set my students clear and achievable short term and long term targets and we work towards these together.

I believe that when learning maths, a student’s confidence in their ability is paramount. I work hard to build up this confidence through my positive approach and clear explanations. I have always been passionate about maths and I have a lot of enthusiasm for the subject. As a result, I am a good motivator and confidence builder. I am intuitive, patient and quick to understand the specific needs of the student.
