Experienced Maths teacher available for one to one or small group tuition.
I have been a full time Maths teacher for 7 years and have been tutoring for close to 10 years. I have a wealth of experience in assisting students preparing for exams or supporting students who need a little extra support with their Maths.
I am available to tutor any age range from Year 5 through to Year 12.
Tutoring sessions can be online or in person.

Having worked as a private tutor since 2012, both face-to-face and online, I have seen first-hand a great deal of what tutoring has to offer, both in terms of challenge and reward, for student and tutor alike. I have a vast number of hours of teaching under my belt and feel confident that, after such extensive exposure to the practice, I am well-placed to both assess and work with students of any academic level and background, regardless of starting point and/or objective.
My years of teaching have principally taught me one thing about the tutoring experience as a whole: expect everything.
The relationship is key for me. I have found that without a trusting base upon which to build, progress is very slow. I put a great deal of effort into ensuring that atmosphere and approach are calm and open with the ultimate aim of high-intensity, low-pressure learning. I have for all of my students very high expectations and want them to work hard for whatever it is they are looking for.
After first meeting a student, I will make a thorough assessment of what I believe they need most from me, which could be anything from simple organisational instruction through to exam tricks and techniques, but it is with confidence that I feel I do my best work: those expectations that I hold dictate that I believe in all of my students entirely and wholeheartedly and, as such, mean that I will push the people I work with into expressing themselves as faithfully and as completely as possible at all times. For me, the confidence is always there; sometimes it just needs teasing out.
I use a great variety of resources in my work, pooling materials and teaching aids from every corner of every year of my teaching journey to date. Online I use videoconferencing software and innovative interactive whiteboards to replicate as faithfully as I can the traditional classroom experience, although pen and pencil (and highlighter, fineliner, ruler and rubber) will forever rule the writing roost.
