=Making Maths Mean More
=More sense +More easy to do +More memorable (so able to do not just once)
...+More creatively interesting
=In other words: More wowy!

Tutoring Experience

Fully qualified secondary teacher,
with 30+ years of varied experience,
inc at the very innovative first ever UK City Technology College (for-runner of Academies).
+Head of Dept,
+20yrs of 1-2-1 focus,
all producing significant insight into wowy! ways of teaching and learning.
- Supported where appropriate (e.g. if a student suffers big-time from lack of confidence) from having become a fully qualified counsellor (mental health), in response to a long-standing interest in "what makes us tick" (especially learning and motivation).

Tutoring Approach

Wow Maths Tuition:
*Flexible so as to develop ways that work for you / the learner (and for me as the tutor!).
*Special focus on making things stick, not just doing it once.
*Novel alternative approaches,
inc. wowy launchers such as Juggling +Slipping Frogs +wowy ways of doing stuff, such as my Bump up/Bump down "Swiss army knife" method for lots of topics that are usually taught separately.

  • * * FEES (as at 2022Apr1)= **WMT standard tuition fee =£32 per hour for sessions at my Tamworth base (post code B77) (or +call-out fee approx £3-£10 depending on distance/time). *£7 discount off your first taster session (for enquiries via First Tutors). **+£5 discount off 10th session (for enquiries via First Tutors). *Cash-only please.
