Luke

Friendly and young but experienced tutor

All ages and abilities welcome – we’ll discuss both short-term and long-term goals during our opening session

Sessions can take place either at my house in Longlevens, Gloucester or I can travel throughout Gloucestershire - in light of the recent events I have also started to do online sessions using Skype

I am a fully qualified maths teacher but have decided to focus on one-to-one tuition as I enjoy engaging with students on a more personal level, where I’m better able to tailor my approach to each individual learner. The rest of my time is devoted to my young family and playing live music around the country and beyond.

I don`t ask my students for testimonials but here are a few examples of happy clients:

`Hi Luke, would just like to thank you for all your help with J*** for his GCSE maths. He has said that your tuition has really helped and given him confidence.`

`Hi Luke, just thought I`d let you know J***`s maths teacher told him he was only 2 marks away from an 8, so they are having it remarked! Amazing he has done so well, just goes to show what one- one help can do`

`Just wanted to say a big thank you for the work you have put in with T** so far. His self confidence within maths seems to haveimproved and he tells me he`s understanding is getting better. Thanks a lot, whatever you are doing it`s working!`

`Thanks so much Luke - **** is buzzing as he feels that he has now had the things you talked about "click". His confidence is palpable. You seem to be performing miracles so big respect!!`

Availability: I am getting fairly full in the evening now but can still squeeze the odd student in and there is plenty of availability in the day

Willing to travel: 20 miles

Experience: I have now been tutoring full-time for 3 years. Additionally, on top of completing the PCET PGCE (dedicated to teaching maths at college), I have over 6 years experience working as a teaching assistant at secondary school and 6th Form – much of this was spent guiding a variety of different learners (including many SEN students) through their GCSE maths.

In terms of qualifications, I have B at GCSE, A at A-level and a 1st class degree with honours with much of the content devoted to pure maths. The B at GCSE was as a result of not feeling engaged at school – I developed an interest in maths as a mature learner – as a result, I understand how many students feel in a classroom and I work hard to create a more comfortable and personable environment.
