My Psychology degree and 9 years of experience working with children with Neuro-divergence and additional educational needs prior to teaching have significantly shaped my approach to teaching. I prioritise relationship building and trust with students and their caregivers. I am patient, kind, and incredibly encouraging but have high expectations. I work with students for them to also gain high expectations in themselves. This may happen in the first few sessions or may take a longer period of time depending on the student. I help students gain high expectations for themselves by initially giving tasks where they are guaranteed success, then celebrating and reflecting on this success and how they were able to use the skills taught and their effort to complete the task. This builds a persons confidence and significantly increases the likelihood of attempting more difficult tasks. This is heavily proven by research (and seen in my classroom daily) known as the “theory of self efficacy” and the “theory of planned behaviour”. If a person does not believe a task is within their capability, they are incredibly unlikely to even attempt it (No matter how much we believe they can do it). It is my job to SHOW students they can do it by designing tasks and lessons in a way that they feel challenged finish with pride in their achievements. When teaching new skills I will show them first, then we will complete a task together, then they will apply the skills independently. I will be constantly assessing as they work independently and provide support where necessary. The ultimate goal is to phase back my support until they are using the taught skills correctly, consistently, confidently and independently. Lessons will vary depending on students needs. If caregivers want to spend a percentage of the lesson to discuss, that will be agreed upon. If there are specific targets you want me to cover then we can dedicate time for you to tell me these expectations. If you would prefer me to assess your student and gage where the gaps are and plan accordingly, that is also ok. I would suggest an initial session to meet, and discuss goals. Some classes you may benefit from: -SATs Prep -Phonics -Reading (comprehension, vocabulary, inferencing, predictions, explaining, retrieval, sequencing, summarising, making links, authors intent) -Spelling -Grammar (or Spelling and grammar combined) -Maths -Maths (arithmetic) -Maths (Reasoning and Problem solving) -Target specific - has your teacher said there are targets you need to work on in various subjects? -Science -History -Geography -Psychology (GCSE, A Level) Is your child in secondary school but needs support in the foundation subjects such as reading, writing or maths? Reading and writing is an essential skills in secondary school for every subject. I can support your child to close the gap so they can access all subjects with their peers. Having worked in secondary schools before, I have seen how much students are required to read and write in all lessons, but there will not be opportunities to learn these fundamental skills at school. I welcome students of all ages (including adults) from all backgrounds and of all abilities. I look forward to meeting you soon and celebrating the amazing progress ahead!

role of a math tutor is to provide personalized and effective academic support to students in the field of mathematics. As an experienced and knowledgeable educator, a math tutor serves as a guide, mentor, and teacher to help students develop a strong understanding and proficiency in various mathematical concepts and problem-solving skills. The key responsibilities of a math tutor include: Individualized Instruction: Understanding each student's unique learning style, strengths, and weaknesses to tailor lessons and exercises accordingly. This personalized approach ensures that the student receives targeted support and gains confidence in their mathematical abilities. Clarifying Concepts: Identifying areas where the student faces challenges and explaining complex mathematical ideas in a clear and comprehensible manner. The tutor breaks down concepts into simpler components, making it easier for the student to grasp and apply them. Practice and Reinforcement: Assigning relevant practice problems to reinforce the learning process. Regular practice helps students build their problem-solving skills, reinforces their understanding of concepts, and improves retention. Progress Assessment: Continuously evaluating the student's progress and identifying areas that require further attention. Regular assessments help the tutor adjust their teaching strategies and address any knowledge gaps promptly. Homework Assistance: Assisting students with their math-related homework and guiding them through problem-solving techniques. This support encourages self-reliance and ensures that the student can apply what they've learned in their school assignments. Test Preparation: Preparing students for exams, quizzes, and standardized tests. A math tutor equips the student with test-taking strategies and time management skills to enhance their performance in assessments. Motivation and Confidence Building: Encouraging and motivating students to develop a positive attitude towards mathematics. Building their confidence is vital in overcoming math-related anxiety and promoting a growth mindset. Communication with Parents or Guardians: Keeping parents or guardians informed about the student's progress, areas of improvement, and strategies for ongoing support at home. Collaborating with parents enhances the overall learning experience and fosters a supportive learning environment. Continuous Professional Development: Staying updated with the latest teaching methods, educational technology, and advancements in the field of mathematics to deliver the most effective instruction.
