Vetted Tutor

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I've been tutoring for a decade, both online and in-person, collaborating with various agencies and colleges.

My primary focus has been teaching AS and A-Level Maths and Further Maths. Additionally, I've provided support for exams like the Mathematics Admission Test (MAT) for the University of Oxford, the Sixth Term Examination Papers (STEP) for Cambridge, and Additional Further Mathematics (Edexcel).

I hold a full qualification in Further Education, equivalent to a PGCE, acquired in 2016. I bring substantial experience in applying mathematics to real-life scenarios and effectively conveying complex concepts to non-specialists.

Tutoring Approach

I prioritize a student-centered approach in my tutoring. I regularly consult with my students to understand their specific learning needs, allowing them to guide the content unless we have a predefined curriculum plan.

My teaching style is characterized by patience, empathy, and a non-judgmental attitude, recognizing that everyone faces challenges in math.

I embrace technology in my tutoring sessions, utilizing digital textbooks, calculator emulators, mathematical software like GeoGebra, and collaborative tools like Miro. I stay updated on the latest educational technologies to offer an interactive experience with immediate feedback through formative assessment using Miro.

With years of teaching and tutoring experience, I have a wide array of example problems at my disposal, enabling me to select questions that cover various aspects of the mathematics curriculum. Additionally, my own background in applied mathematics and research, including industry partnerships, provides me with insight into diverse career opportunities for mathematics and STEM graduates and a solid understanding of the evolving job market.
