Nadia

I am a female Maths private tutor specialising in one to ones. A bit about myself. After doing my A Levels in Economics, Sociology, Business and AS Maths I went on to University to study Accounting & Finance where I attained a 1st Class Bachelors Honours degree. During my time at University I went on a student exchange programme to Canada and studied at Carleton University in Ottawa for a semester and thereafter travelled around Canada and America.

After my travels I came back to start my placement for a year as a Strategic Procurement Analyst. I really enjoyed my sandwich year and went back to University for my final year.

Completing my degree I then worked with Lancashire Police delivering counter terrorism workshops at schools, colleges and community centres. I enjoyed the class environment and delivering that I decided to do my PGCE in FE. Maths is a passion and I wanted to break down barriers!

Having taught Maths for a while I then wanted to do specialise to help my students further therefore I studied my Maths subject specialism course.

During lockdown I taught all new and existing students online using Zoom. This has been and still is successful. Furthermore, I have been working closely with SEN children on a 1:1 basis which has been extremely successful. Non verbal children who have now started to read, write and converse within a couple of months. This requires routine, repetition snd consistency! Patience, time and being non judgemental is key.

I am also an AQA Examiner which enables me to help all students when it comes to exam techniques and picking up marks in the exam.

I am easy going, approachable and have a real passion for education. I am able to communicate with different walks of life whilst remaining professional.

Availability: Tutoring is my Full Time occupation so I am available weekdays, evenings and weekends.

Sessions cancelled within 24 hours are still chargeable.

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have a vast amount of experience (12 years) in teaching Maths. Not only do I have the knowledge but I am able to pass on this knowledge to students.

The opportunity to teach Keystage 2 up to GCSE Maths, Functional Skills Entry 1,2,3 and level 1 & 2, the Free Maths Standing Qualification (FSMQ), Adult Numeracy, QTS numeracy and Medicine Management maths for those studying nursing at degree level, I am able to provide precise & concise teaching.

This involves breaking up hard topics and making it easier to grasp.

I have previously taught ESOL, GCSE Urdu, GCSE English and A Level English but have specialised in Maths. Which all in all I have 15 years teaching experience.

My recent Maths qualification was the Advanced Numeracy (Mathematics Subject Specialist Qualified), which has enhanced my skills further. My current qualification is an introductory to speech and Language and another qualification understanding learning difficulties.

I am a true believer in anything is achievable! I am DBS Enhanced certified and based in Fulwood, Preston but have travelled in lancashire to different towns and cities (Blackburn, Wigan, Leyland, Bolton, Horwich, Bury, Burnley and Nelson). Recently, I have neen travelling to Yorkshire to work eith SEN children on a 1:1 basis. (Leeds, Otley, Sheffield, Bradford, Keighley). I also teach from home and tutor online via Zoom or Skype for everybody`s safety. I know plenty of students prefer face to face sessions but with Zoom this makes the experience very similar! This has enabled me to tutor internationally (Dubai) as well as nationally.

Key tutoring is working at my students pace & building confidence. All of my sessions are student based. With my positivity, techniques and knowledge all of my students have progressed. Maths shouldn`t be a fear. It is a subject that should be embraced but ultimately my motto is progression leads to succession!

My sessions include using tarsia cards for revision, guiding students with exam techniques, motivating each and every individual. I have seen both sides of the coin. The student perspective and the teachers perspective. Students have to be willing and I will help increase knowledge.

I am easy going and supportive. However this does not mean my student will take it easy. Quite the opposite. In my session my student won`t realise how fast the hour passes but they will realise the amount they have learnt.

Humour and silly acronyms will help retain information. It`s never dull!

My reviews from parents and students are outstanding as teaching is not just a job to me. It`s my passion!

Try me, you won`t be disappointed!
