GCSE/iGCSE Maths - UK Expert - Former Classroom Teacher - 12 years' experience in education - SEN and ASD specialist - Oxford/St Andrews

- Berlin based educator with over 12 years' of experience working as a maths tutor and as a classroom teacher.
- I specialise in teaching GCSE Maths as well as GCSE English Literature.
- Experience with the IB and with UK school entrance exams.
- Experience helping students to transition to the UK system.

Particular experience working with young people whose neurodiversity impacts on their learning.
I bring a comprehensive understanding of the syllabus requirements, as well as a sensitivity to the needs of students of varying abilities and learning styles.

I can offer support alongside the student's schooling, or can design a full homeschooling course. Classes can be online, in person or hybrid.

I have a degree in Philosophy, Politics and Economics from the University of Oxford and an MFA in Creative Writing from St Andrews. Before becoming a tutor and teacher I worked as a government economics advisor, specialising in Education Policy.

I have taught at Brookways School, Sutton; The Sultan's School, Muscat; and worked as supply staff at various schools across London.

Oustide of teaching, I am a poet, theatre maker, facilitator and play therapist. This helps me to keep lessons engaging and fun. My teaching begins with a good relationship with the student. I also offer classes in drama and creative writing, to adults as well as young people.

Selected Case Studies:

O (16) and A (14) 2021-2022 (Maths and English GCSE)

I home schooled O for one academic year, working on English and Maths GCSE. O has ASD and needed to work with a tutor with experience adapting to his particular learning needs. I worked with O for 12 hours each week. The role required adaptability to the family's schedules and O's varying ability to engage with the work.

I now work with O's sister A on maths. A was 14 when we worked together and I was able to help her to plug gaps in her maths knowledge.

Zoe (15-16) 2021-2023 (English GCSE)

"Sean has been tutoring my daughter for 1.5 years. He engaged well with Zoe who found him inspiring and fun to work with. Sean is thoughtful and diligent, he understood the challenges she is facing with creative writing and constructed the lessons to suit her needs. He was also willing to change the content of a class and adapt to her requests at times that she was struggling to follow up.

We feel very lucky to have had Sean supporting Zoe for her GCSE creative writing and would certainly recommend him to other families." (Athina, mother)

Bert (15-16) 2021-2022 (Maths and English GCSE)

"I would not hesitate to recommend Sean, who tutored my son Bert throughout his GCSEs to success.

Bert, who is dyslexic also struggles with ADHD, he's not a natural student and struggles to engage.

Sean showed outstanding compassion, rigour and tenacity around getting Bert on task, giving him context of the syllabus and supporting his learning.

Sean is kind, thoughtful and holds a firm bar on what is expected/needed from his students. For Bert this worked super well, fostering a relationship of mutual respect.

We enjoyed to have Sean stay with us during various holidays and he was flexible in his plans to accommodate different needs and locations.

Sean is a great tutor and a really lovely guy and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him."
(Rachel, mother)

Ciara
Mathematics tutor for all levels: igniting interest in the subject, exam preparation, interactive learning
I am a Mathematics and Philosophy (BSc) graduate and a Renewable Energy (MSc) graduate, with 5 years of experience as a researcher for sustainable energy systems. I specialize in tutoring maths for all levels up to university, and can optionally tutor English and sciences. I have tutored throughout my undergraduate degree as part of an organisation called Tutor Trust and for a year afterwards as a full time private maths tutor. My main approach is to initially find out how the student learns best, and I will always focus on igniting an interest in the subject in the student. After that, I will then know more about how the student's mind works and adapt my lessons to cater for that. This will make it easier to approach more difficult topics - with the right method and an interest already there. I am also willing to set homework if it seems appropriate. Because I am still quite young, I am able to relate to students because I was in a similar situation not that long ago.

Neha
Experienced Teacher in MATH, PHYSICS, SOCIAL STUDIES & TEST PREP TUTORING ( ENGLISH SPEAKING)
I have a great experience when it comes to teaching students. I love making concepts easy to learn and with fun too. I believe anything can be taught to children if its in a fun way. But also at the same time, I make sure that the concepts are understood by the child. My previous students loved me but also were scared too. I get strict if they do not listen and not doing their work right as I feel it's my responsibility that the child has understood the concept well. Kindly Note: I teach ONLY in ENGLISH. Currently, I am learning German.

Raef
Tuition in Math - Physics - Chemistry - Biology
Graduated and Experienced for more than 18 years, I give private lessons in Mathematics - Analysis - Matrices - Statistics - Algebra - Geometry - Physics - Chemistry - Biology, Geology to students of French program of Terminales, patent and secondary or international program IB in English (Grade 8, 9, 10, 11, 12) or entrance exams and medical university preparatory classes or 1st and 2nd university years for the academic year 2022/2023 either at home or by internet online by a very modern and professional method much better than webcam and better than on site. The online method is easily done by a link that serves as a writing board, typing and projection more than Skype or Zoom talking about which we communicate. This method is very modernized and reliable (it's like we are in the same place) for more than 6 years I have been working by this method. The results of my students and in particular the students of Terminale are superb with successes in mention very good and good and sometimes excellent. Homework help for CNED students. For more information, do not hesitate to contact me.

Benoit
Private online mathematics lessons - Qualified and experienced teacher
I am a qualified and experienced mathematics tutor. Graduated from the Free University of Brussels in 2011, I started my career by teaching remedial courses in different schools in Brussels. I then specialized in individual academic support by following educational training at the Harvard Graduate School of Education. I have been giving private mathematics lessons daily for over ten years. The students who follow my private lessons benefit from personalized support. The first session is devoted to an in-depth assessment of the student's mathematical knowledge. The objective is to detect its weak points and understand their origin in order to adapt my courses to its needs. I develop a tailor-made remediation program for each of my students aimed at filling each of their gaps. Over the course of the sessions, the student builds a solid foundation for learning and regains self-confidence. At the same time, I help him acquire a work methodology that allows him to gradually become autonomous in his studies. I have a perfect knowledge of the mathematics program of the College and the High School (from the Sixth to the Terminale). During my formative years, I studied and developed many techniques that make it easier to learn math. The strength of my pedagogical approach lies in my ability to explain in a simple way everything that the student finds complicated. I am passionate about this job because it gives me the opportunity to guide dropout students on the path to success. It is a real pleasure to see them evolve and come to terms with the fantastic world of mathematics. I provide my private lessons in Limoges (at the student's home) or remotely (online via the internet). My distance learning courses take place on an interactive online whiteboard. This board is specially designed to promote student/teacher interaction on the internet. Thanks to this educational tool, my online courses are as effective as home courses. The student only needs an internet connection and a computer, tablet, or smartphone to take advantage of it.
