I hope from my picture you can see my sessions are very different from the traditional classroom.

I am a qualified Maths teacher with a Bachelor's in Engineering and Mathematics. But however many qualifications I have the lesson is fundamentally about you and your way of learning and not me.

Tutoring Experience

I have a Post Graduate Certificate in Education, 4 years of working in schools and another 3 years of working one-to-one with learners. I've worked with all ages and abilities and know the common sticking points that people have in Maths. I have helped many learners who were completely failing go on to get good grades

Tutoring Approach

Studies have shown that playing and exploring as a form of learning is much more effective than repetition and memorising alone. Through years of working with students, I've found this to be true. The more the student is engaged and involved in the lesson the more they learn. My goal is to make maths and our session work for you! My job is to understand your way of doing things and offer fun sessions around that.

I cater to all abilities but also I have extensive experience working with pupils that have Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, and Processing speed issues as well as those with mental health support needs. What I have noticed is what works well for those with learning issues works very well for those without.

A big part of what I do is the way I use technology and software ( called bitpaper that is not on tutorful) to enhance the learning experience. A small example is the colour I use! Everything is done in various consistent colours so you can easily see the progression of what we are doing.

Another feature that I offer (that is not available through tutorful alone) is all of our completed lessons are accessible at any time with one click through any device (mobile, tablet, laptop, smart TV) FOREVER! So if you need to revise you can use our previous lessons to do so.

I also offer homework as a way of supporting/cementing any learning that has taken place in the lesson and also so I can see where you might be slipping up or what we need to focus on.

The feedback I get regarding my lessons is they are fun, that my students look forward to them, and often aren’t aware of how much they have learned until they are pleasantly surprised by their test results. You can check out my reviews but just to blow my own trumpet last year every one of my students got the grade they were seeking. Yaay

If you have any questions please feel free to book a free lesson with me and I can demonstrate what I do :-)
