Description
Highly experienced maths specialist - 40 years teaching in both State and Independent schools, and 20 years tutoring students privately from Primary through to A-Level. Maths degree from Cambridge University. Extensive experience in teaching the entire maths curriculum from age 5 to 18.
As a teacher, my main focus throughout my career has been on developing better ways of teaching maths to help children feel secure in their learning and understanding. As a tutor, I’ve had considerable success in preparing students for Nat 5, Higher and Advanced Higher exams, and also for the Common Entrance exam for the Independent sector.
My strengths are both in supporting pupils who find maths difficult, and in stretching pupils who want to aim high. Many of my pupils have stayed with me for years. I’m passionate about helping students understand the fundamental concepts of maths (the ‘why’ behind maths) rather than just learning rules. This helps students to tackle any problem with confidence.
Whether your child is struggling and is feeling that they’re no good at maths, or is wanting to be stretched and challenged beyond what is offered in the school curriculum, I can help.
My fees reflect my expertise - £45-£50 per hour. Sessions can be online, or face-to-face if you prefer, with students coming to me. I offer 30, 45 or 60 minute sessions, and can teach either 1-to-1 or 1-to-2 (£30-£35 each).
If you'd like to have chat with me about how I can help, please phone me. I look forward to hearing from you.
