I am a firm believer that pupils' mathematical 'ability' is not fixed, and that given enough time and support all learners can progress in mathematics.

​

Most of us will have probably experienced being taught by a teacher who is qualified in maths, but unfortunately they were poor at teaching maths - particularly teaching school-age pupils.

​

Anyone can try tutoring maths, but not many meet the legal national Qualified Teacher Standard (QTS), have a specialised PGCE in mathematics and have years of experience in how to successfully engage with school-age pupils in order to achieve higher progress or grades.

​

I have proven experience in tailoring and adapting all my lessons and homework around the needs and current skills of my students.

 

I work hard to build confidence and resilience with all of my students, using my experience of supporting and inspiring young people to develop a ‘can-do’ attitude.

 

Part of my approach is to occasionally share relevant real-world examples of maths from my previous Chartered Design Engineer experience, where I worked on many real maths-based design problems. After a time as a business product manager, I moved into teaching young people, in order to share my experience and passion of maths in the real world, not just to pass exams.

​

I use a blend of proven traditional and evidence-based modern mastery techniques to ensure that my students maximise their learning.
