I`m a very experienced and fully qualified maths teacher who specialises in confidence-boosting for all abilities. I`ve taught in schools and colleges and given private tuition for the last 10 years. My students are frequently in their final year or two of GCSE preparation and I generally work with students from 13 years of age upwards (including adults) and focus mostly on GCSE (and Functional Skills). I enjoy working both with students who struggle with maths, and with high achievers alike. I like a bit of a laugh too and I have lots of tea and biscuits for those have their lesson at my house. :-)
As my students approach their final exams, practice becomes more and more focussed on exam papers. This is great practice, gives reassuring familiarity when the real exam comes, helps develop exam techniques, and brings to light any remaining gaps that need filling. For those who do not have imminent exams, I give some homework after each lesson and suggest that half is done within a day of the lesson (to ensure practice is carried out before the memory of the lesson fades), and the other half to be done a few days later to ensure that the methods are properly instilled.
My rates are £25 per hour.
I live in Chorlton/Old Trafford. Students can come to me (day or evening), or I will come to them (only if in the daytime). If this requires me to travel more than 5 miles, I charge an extra £5 to cover the extra time this involves.

Availability: In general I am available day times and evenings, week days and weekends, though will need to discuss finer details in person. Often my evenings fill up quickly into the academic year.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have been teaching maths in schools, colleges etc for 10 years and offering private tuition for around 5 years. I have lots of experience of working with students with dyslexia and dyscalculia.
I have a good reputation, earned as a result of a wealth of experience, personalised delivery and calming, confidence boosting approach.
