Mentoring Mathematics - Personalised Tuition for Swamped Students
course price icon
From 29 £ /h

Mathematics is a highly sought skill in any job or career. In my experience, the beginning of high school is when students decide if they love or hate maths; this is an important time to show them that it isn't that scary! Everything has a reason and, if you learn it right, can feel like cheating!

This class helps students learn how and why mathematics works the way it does, crushes their fear of complex equations or concepts, and instills a newfound confidence and appreciation. From learning how counting works to nailing your Higher maths exam, this class is tailored to the student!
Lessons are aimed at students in high school, however anyone outwith this who wants to learn about these topics is more than welcome!
Extra information
I will provide any materials for in-person lessons such as worksheets, textbooks, and basic stationery. Students in S2 or above are expected to have a scientific calculator, however I can bring a spare.

For online classes, students just need a reliable internet connection and some method of taking notes or trying practice questions.

About Me
I have mentored hundreds of students over three years. From teaching P1s how to write numbers to S6s preparing for their examinations, I always pride myself in personalising the lessons to the student. High school is a difficult time and students don't often have a strong support system to help them understand what mathematics is, let alone attempt it!
My work adage is to try! Even if it is completely wrong, you'll have put the effort in and learned something in the process.
Education
I completed my National 5s, Highers, and Advanced Highers before beginning university, where I achieved a BSc in Mathematics. Alongside this, I have various miscellanious qualifications and skills to help any student.
Experience / Qualifications
I have tutored for 3 years, helping students from various backgrounds and skill levels. I have taught many students who are studying for exams and helped advance their skill and understanding.

I have 10 years unbroken experience teaching Maths and social sciences to high school students. Since greater proportion of the students population at the colleges are struggling in their performance in maths, I am passionate about teaching maths only for now so as to help as much maths students as possible. I make my first tutorial class to develop rapport with a prospective maths student and to enable me identify the areas they need improvement in their performance. The first half of my tuition starts with the fundamental principles of mathematics, showing the students various clues and hints to use in answering maths questions. Special reference is made to acceptable standard marking scheme so the student can understand each topic better and develop more affection for solving mathematical problems. At the second half of my teaching, several examples are worked together with the student, ensuring that the student is fully engaged in the exercises, assimilating the concepts and contributing meaningfully. At the end of the second half of the tutorial, a lot of exercises are given to students as take-home assignments.

The submitted assignments are reviewed, scored before the next appointment and corrections made one-to-one with the student next tutorial session. The topics covered are not limited to the core concentration like algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics to mention a few, they extend to elementary maths. If the gap in understanding a topic is much, elementary maths is revised with the student prior to teaching any of the core maths topics.
