EXPERIENCE AND QUALIFY MATHS TEACHER (HEAD OF MATHS)

I have great experience teaching and tutoring Maths and French in the UK and abroad.
I am able to teach mathematics up to GCSE level.
I have been teaching maths to GCSE standard for five years now. I know exactly what is included in the new GCSE specifications. My role as an assistant Head of maths department has definitely given me the opportunity to write schemes of learning for year 11. As a result, I know how to break down topics in order to help your child to meet or exceed their targets.

Some success stories

Student A
This is a young girl that had grade 2 before I started tutoring her. I helped her building her confidence, showed her exam tips, how to revise and more importantly how marks are allocated for every questions. She was really happy when she opened her GCSE letter and realised that she got 4.

Student B
This lovely year 11 boy was a grade 5 student in maths, after working really hard with him, doing exam papers every week, giving him challenged questions he did extremely well and achieved a grade 7 maths. His grade then allowed him to confirm his place in a Grammar school in Kent.
I am also trained to teach/tutor mathematics using mathematics mastery. This is a program designed to help students conceptualise and understand the reason why we are studying mathematics. This program follows a CPA approach (Concrete Pictorial Abstract). For every topic that I teach/tutor, I always bring maths alive by taking real life examples. These help students understand the concept. For instance: Calculating with negative numbers is a topic that most student find difficult in maths. even those that get it might not be able to explain the reason why -4 + 8 = 4.
when teaching this topic, I like using oyster cards, bank account or the weather as an example. `if I have -4 pound in my oyster card what does it mean? ` Now I top up 8 pounds what will my new balance be? This was just an example of how to link mathematics to real life situations.

I can teach/tutor students with different abilities this include higher, middle and lower set.
It is never too late to start, if you are looking for someone that can help your child achieve or exceed their target grade do not hesitate to get in contact with me.

Thank you

Think logically, let's solve the problems.
I will assist you with your maths homework and also help you to practice for your tests, final assessments and GCSE. In addition I will provide additional worksheets similar to what you are doing in lessons.

Maths helps us to better understand the world around us. Practicing mathematical skills helps to advance your ability to problem-solve and increase your analytical thinking. As it is so crucial for development, this subject is compulsory for students up to the age of 16, therefore it is beneficial that your child is consistently up-to-date on their curriculum.

During my sessions, I will assess their abilities in different topics. I will then focus on teaching them in their weaker areas to better prepare them for class assessments or SATs for Year 6s. However, if your child is advanced for their age, I will help them continue to progress and learn topics that may not have been covered at school yet.

In a GCSE or KS3 maths lesson, students can expect to learn a variety of mathematical concepts, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, and statistics. Teachers will often use a combination of lecture-style teaching, group work, and individual exercises to help students learn and practice these concepts. Students may use a variety of tools and resources, including calculators, textbooks, and online resources, to aid in their learning. By the end of the lesson, students should have a solid understanding of the day's topic and be prepared to apply their knowledge to real-world problems.

Maths is an extremely important subject and is useful for many careers. The lessons I provide will be tailored exactly to your needs and designed to help you reach your full potential. I have had experience teaching children younger than me, as well as people the same age as me; consequently, my teaching style is dynamic, to meet the needs of each learner. Additionally, I have completed my GCSE Maths Exams recently, so my knowledge of maths is up to date with the current syllabus. I have also completed an extra maths qualification (Free Standing Mathematics Qualification Additional Mathematics) which includes maths at a higher level, so I am even more equipped to help you improve your maths abilities. I am very passionate about maths and my enthusiasm has led to me participating in a maths programme at Christ Church, Oxford University. After each lesson, you will be assigned homework and there are many opportunities for you to ask me questions!

Literacy and Numeracy skills can be challenging for pupils to acquire, whether this is decoding/ spelling for pupils with Dyslexia; comprehending aspects of language for pupils with Autism or maths related anxiety for pupils suffering with poor academic self-esteem, these sessions will improve the necessary skills to build a strong foundation and supporting progress in academia and development of other skills needed on a daily basis.

Learning should always be fun!

Skills can be developed through honing in on interests and making learning relatable to real-life incorporating games and quizzes to not only improve literacy and numeracy but working, visual and auditory memory skills as well as supporting metacognitive skills (independence and organisation) Focussing on developing skills with high repetition and low stakes testing to increase ability and confidence.

I am a qualified and practicing SENDCo (Special Educational Needs Coordinator) in a secondary provision responsible for designing and implementing successful interventions to improve these skills. I am a qualified teacher with a PGCE in Science and over 15 years of experience working with young people with special educational needs, with a genuine passion for teaching and supporting individuals learn and grow.

A genuine and patient tutor who is able to assess the student's educational needs and set learning objectives so they can overcome any learning barriers and make significant achievements.
I have extensive experience working with both mainstream and SEN children, therefore I am able to plan suitable tutoring lessons to suit a child's needs.
I believe that children can learn through play, therefore I have my own learning resources that I use for my tutoring lessons to help children to engage and learn.

I am a dedicated and qualified teacher with a genuine passion for nurturing young minds. My expertise lies in teaching primary-aged children, focusing on two core subjects: Mathematics and English. Within English, I specialize in all facets, including writing, reading, and phonics.

With a strong foundation in pedagogy, I ensure that my teaching methods are engaging, effective, and tailored to the individual needs of each student. I am committed to fostering a love for learning while helping children achieve academic excellence.

My goal is to create a supportive and encouraging learning environment where children can thrive academically and grow as confident, independent learners. I am excited to embark on this educational journey with your child and help them reach their full potential in Mathematics and English, preparing them for future success.

I'm a school teacher who is based in London. I have been a certified teacher for about a year and a half, and my main subjects are science, biology, social science, and math.

I've completed my GCSEs a little over a year ago , I'm on here to fund myself in the future (primarily university) .
I've averaged above an A (above grade 7) overall with recent experience and am still attending sixth form . Because of this I'll be able to easily relate to and figure out the needs of my tutee as I was in their position not too long ago .
I myself studied based on topic rather than necessarily textbooks , this means that I can make due with any textbook or other material (this accounts for difference in exam boards).
I can teach a concept from the ground up , or to solidify knowledge on topics as well as teach the basic principles for understanding the topic in the first place . I'm especially good at understanding and taking advantage of mark schemes to maximise grades , despite if the topic is completely unbeknownst to you . Though this seems minor , this tactic means you'll almost never score zero marks on a question . Ergo : if you can do half of the questions on a 100 mark test you'll get around 50 marks (high C to low B grade , grade 5 to 6) however even without understanding the rest it's easy to get at least another 15 marks up to around 25 (you usually cannot get over half marks without getting close to the answer , which is why half the remaining marks is a typical maximum) putting your grade up to to a minimum of a strong B or a maximum of a solid A (min of a grade 6 and max of grade 8) all of which requires minimal work which you won't forget . In English a similar thing can be done with punctuation , so long as you use a type of punctuation once ; you can score easy additional marks and get more marks on other criteria due to the examiner's bias . This is my forté .
