Maths Lessons in Hove

I'm 33 years old and have worked in Education for my entire career. I live in Hove and enjoy rock climbing, animals, and finding creative ways to be creative.

Tutoring Experience

SEN education (Social, Emotional, Mental Health speciality): 5 years
Maths Teacher (KS2, 3, 4): 2 years
Foundation Studies with learners for whom English was an additional language: 5 years

Tutoring Approach

  • Silly, creative memory aids to help make things stick
  • Visual models of all concepts
  • Linking language to mathematical words (e.g. per-cent = per-100 parts)
  • Strategy sentences used repeatedly to form good habits, like "does it pass the vibe check?" (does the answer seem sensible), "keep it on the paper, not in your head" (note numbers as you go to free up brain space)
  • Resilience exercises and a bit of brain-science on what's happening as we learn
