I believe my way of tutoring maths is quite different to what a lot of other tutors do and is completely different to how maths is traditionally taught in the classroom.
I have incorporated executive functioning skills, interleaving and spaced repetition into my teaching and I feel it has really helped my students make significant progress.
I am a fully qualified maths teacher with QTS status.
I taught in schools before becoming a full time maths tutor, which I have been doing now for over 15 years.
Many maths tutors are class teachers who tutor for a few hours after school, I tutor maths as my full time job.
I have a huge amount of experience of tutoring a wide range of abilities and personalities of students.
Yes I am a member of the DBS update service.
I can show you my certificate on request.
Yes, I tutor during the school holidays.
I am also happy for tuition to take a break during school holidays.
Yes I am happy to set homework if that is something you would like.
I don't set homework as standard as many of my students receive a lot of homework from school.
I can if you live within my tuition catchment area.
Just contact me and we can discuss whether it is possible.
My phone number is 07763 838690.
Yes. I tutor many students who are home educated.
I have a lot of experience of tutoring students once a week and providing the same level of education they would receive during a week of lessons in school.
Payment is made by bank transfer.
This varies based on length of lesson and whether it is in person or online.
Please check my pricing page.
I require 24 hours notice for cancellations otherwise I reserve the right to still charge for the lesson.
This is possible with online lessons but not for in person lessons.
I work on the screen using an online whiteboard to draw and explain.
The lessons are live, so I write on the screen as I teach.
The students can also write on the screen if they want to.
Some students work on paper and then tell me the steps they have taken.
I have found that students verbalising their working out works really well.
During the lessons both my microphone and the student’s microphone are on.
Some students don’t wish to be seen so they don’t switch the camera on (I am fine with this).
Occasionally students like to say hello or goodbye on camera at the beginning and the end of the lessons.
This is optional and depends on what the student prefers.
The lessons are fully interactive.
I encourage participation from the students, so as I teach I ask questions and for input.
I encourage the students to think through the problems and assist.
It is not a lecture so participation from the student is very important.
No, not as standard, but this is possible if the student requests it.
The online whiteboard can be saved by the student and the student can look at the whiteboard and the work we have done together outside of lessons.
Yes I do offer group tuition.
At the moment I am offering group tuition to students who have a group they want to work with (friends or classmates).
So the student needs to create the group and then we can organise the tuition.
Yes. I offer a free trial for online tuition as a chance for students to try out the software and see if it might work for them.
Students need a laptop or tablet and a good Internet connection.
Ideally they will also have headphones and a stylus to draw on the screen but this isn’t an issue if they don’t have these things.
