I am a 22-year-old currently working as a Teaching Assistant at Highgate Junior School, an independent school known for its high academic standards. I excelled in my academic pursuits, achieving 10 GCSEs with all As and A*s, including Maths, and earning 3 A-Levels with one A and two Bs. With four years of experience tutoring Maths at a KS2, KS3 and GCSE level, I have developed a passion for helping young students understand and enjoy the subject. In my free time, I love writing and performing music, which adds a creative and engaging dimension to my teaching approach.

Tutoring Experience

I have four years of experience tutoring Maths at a KS2, KS3 and GCSE level, during which I have honed my ability to make complex concepts accessible and enjoyable for young learners. My current role as a Teaching Assistant at Highgate Junior School has further enhanced my skills in classroom management and individualized instruction. I take pride in fostering a supportive and encouraging learning environment, helping students build confidence in their abilities. My background in achieving top grades in Maths at both GCSE and A-Level equips me with a strong foundation to guide students towards academic success.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching approach is centered around tailoring each lesson to the student’s individual abilities and capabilities, ensuring they learn at a pace they can sustain. I focus on breaking down complex concepts to ensure full understanding, and I incorporate repetitive and focused practice, especially on challenging topics. By using the national curriculum as a guide, I provide structured and relevant lessons. My method has proven successful, particularly in helping students pass the 7+ and 11+ exams, demonstrating my ability to effectively prepare them for key academic milestones.
