Mary

I am a very experienced maths teacher who specialises in teaching those GCSE students who struggle with maths and exams. I am married with 5 grown up children and 1 grandson

Tutoring Experience

I taught for 5 years in a specialist dyslexia and Asperger's school and for 7 years I taught in an FE college leading the GCSE retake team . I am currently now working in a secondary school teaching years 7-11. In addition to my teaching qualifications , I have a level 3 qualification in teaching students with dyslexia.

I like to teach by building confidence and showing that maths is not scary but can be fun. I use a variety of resources that I have built up over the years and adapt to the learning style of my pupils. I have been tutoring privately for the past 14 years as well as teaching in schools and colleges.

I have been a marker for Edexcel GCSE examinations for the last 15 years and I have also marked the KS2 SAT papers occasionally. Consequently I have an excellent insight into what is actually needed to get those extra marks and what the examiners are actually looking for.

I really enjoy working with young people and transforming them from nervous maths haters to confident maths lovers.
