Suzanne

I am a qualified teacher having obtained my QTS in mathematics this year- 2025.

I have over 4 years experience as a personal tutor both through Tutorhunt and privately. I tailor my lessons to the student`s and parent`s needs and I provide and mark homework. I am a mother to 2 girls and understand the enviornment, pressures and issues children face. I can provide lessons in person and online. I have had students come to my house for lessons and have travelled short distances locally too. Online lessons are provided through skype.

I tutor primary students in English and maths to prepare them for 10+, 11+, ISEB, SATS, UK Junior maths challenge and to support their creative writing skills and their general progress.

I also tutor secondary students for GCSE maths.

The UK maths guru, Gareth Metcalf, encourages students to use a range of tools to understand and then solve maths word problems. There is an order of tools to be considered when tackling any type of word problem. Teaching this helps the student to gain confidence. At the beginning maths can be taught as a language. Next we see if a problem can be represented by a drawing / model or a diagram. Other tools include looking for patterns, substitution - providing certain things appear in the question, working backwards, restating the problem, solving part of the problem, etc. I aim to give students plenty of time to think and work out things for themselves and listen to how they got to their answer.

For English, nothing is better than regular reading. I have methods to encourage and improve creative writing. I teach the key literacy aspects which bring a piece of writing to life and go through grammar, punctuation, some spelling rules and comprehension.

For GCSE Maths I use various online resources and recommend my students purchase the CGP Edexcel Maths Revision and Practice books.
