Sarah Jane

I am a teacher and a tutor with over 21 years experience in a variety of educational settings including secondary and special schools.
I have studied Maths at both Southampton and Chichester Universities.

I am a fully qualified Secondary Maths teacher who has experience with teaching all levels of maths. I have excellent knowledge of the new 1-9 Maths exam requirements and can help you to prepare for the new problem solving style to the exam with confidence.

My aim in lessons is to make sure that is it student led at every level, covering the content and correcting those misconceptions that have stopped you from understanding in school.

I strongly believe that to be able to get the grade you desire in your exam you need to be a confident mathematician who can apply a range of skills in any context. That is why I focus on improving your confidence, making sure all of the foundations are really strong to build on and application of skills through interesting and engaging investigations and problem solving.

Experience: I am experienced at supporting the struggling pupil to help them understand concepts and catch up with their peers or enabling the stronger pupil to make rapid progress through challenging them at the higher levels. I particularly love algebra and can make abstract concepts really understandable.

I tailor my tutoring to meet the requirements of the individual I am tutoring, this involves breaking down topics into bite size pieces to help gain understanding and recall of mathematical topics. My main aim is to allow the individual to progress, develop and grow in confidence. A personalised learning plan will be made to help us reach our goals.
