Maths Tutoring

Description

--About me--
Hi there, I'm Peter, I'm currently working as an engineer in offshore wind and have first hand, tangible experience on how and when maths is used in the real world. In school, I sat the most updated Scottish curriculum, the curriculum for excellence, getting A's at nat 5, higher and adv higher. I'm approachable, easy going and I make sure the pupil reachest their highest potential.

--Experience--
I have tutored for two years now, mainly with higher maths pupils, however I do also teach nat 5 and adv higher. This experience has brought about increasingly better teaching techniques and has given me a better perspective of how pupils are dealing with maths in the current climate. I have brought pupils from failing prelims to 80% of my students recieving A's.

--References--
"Our daughter was tutored by Peter for higher mathematics from January to May online. Before starting the tutoring Peter discussed the process and the service offered over the telephone. Discussing what our daughter needed to work on with her and worked through the topics in the tutor time. Peter would set work to be completed each week and support with questions that were not understood from school.
Before the exam extra session were offered to support further taking the time to go over the changes made by the SQA. Peter was polite, friendly, patient and professional throughout each online session. We would thoroughly recommend Peter as a maths tutor, our daughter achieved a Higher A pass in her final exam. "

"I just wanted to say a huge thank you for tutoring xxx with higher maths.
Xxx feels she has done well and it’s all down to the skills you gave her.
You’re very professional, knowledgeable and know how to relate to a teenager to get the best out of her. You have changed Xxx from a worried student to one with much more confidence in a subject she was struggling with.
I would definitely recommend you to anyone who wants the best tutoring available." Xxx went on to get an A.


--Methods--
In maths, more than any other subject, it is vitally important that understanding is found in the work rather than simply remembering content. This is where pupils struggle most. It was through this teaching style that I found my strengths in academia and ultimately successes, therefore I wish to pass it on. Above all, my reassurance and encouragement will bring the pupil one of the most important academic skills, confidence.

My sessions are fully online. I use a website called drawchat, this allows us to write answers on the same online page together in real time. This makes online teaching virtually the same as ftf.

--Rates--
£60 ph, longer sessions charged on a pro rata basis.

--Space--
I currently only have 2 spaces left.

Feel free to message or phone me for a chat.
