I am a qualified Maths teacher with degrees in both Aerospace Engineering and Teaching.

I am becoming very popular with ONLINE students; I have invested in all the specialist equipment necessary to deliver tuition online; all the student needs is a computer which can run Zoom. I of course also offer traditional face to face tuition.

Tutees tend to fall into the following 3 categories:
- needing advanced help to reach full potential and achieve grade 7/8/9,
- predicted a borderline pass or fail at school and needing help to secure a pass,
- failed at first attempt and needing assistance with retake.

I have a proven track record with all of the above, and have a huge stock of examining body approved resources and worksheets specific to individual topics in the syllabus.

How does online tuition work?:

I would send over a Zoom link which would be our permanent link for our weekly sessions.

Prior to, and sometimes during the session I will email over exam paper and worksheet resources for us to work through together; it is up to the student whether they print these off or work directly from the screen.

My camera is trained directly onto my desk surface; the student will see my exercise book and exactly what I am writing.

If the student has an upcoming assessment and knows the topics which will be covered, or has homework, or wants me to teach the same topics as they are being taught at school then I am more than willing. Otherwise I will assess what topics to cover from the past papers we go through.

Tutoring Experience

Tutoring Approach

My usual approach for preparing a student to score as highly as possible in GCSE exams is to work together in attempting past paper after past paper. Doing this not only gets the student very familiar and experienced with what to expect in the exam, but also flags up areas of weakness. These areas are then worked on specifically until full competence is shown. This means a typical lesson is made up of half general past paper, and half specific topic.
