I am a passionate teacher of Mathematics and Physical Education have been a full time tutor for 2 years after teaching at a grammar school in Southend, Essex and have a great deal of enthusiasm about education. I have a Masters qualification in education from the University of East Anglia, completing it over 4 years alongside my job. Before this, I graduated from the University of Essex (2:1) in Sports and Exercise Science. I am a fully qualified examiner in Mathematics for the Edexcel exam board. At GCSE I have achieved around 90% A.A and at A-level 50% A*-A. In my tutoring I have tutored now for 5 years and have worked with many 11+ students who are hoping to gain entry to the local grammar schools

I have a real love for both the subjects I teach and have had many positive comments made from pupils and parents alike. Having taught at a grammar school I know exactly what is needed to gain entry into a selective school and have given many group tutoring sessions at School in Mathematics to prospective pupils. Over the past 5 years of tutoring I have had excellent success at 11+, GCSE and A-level in both Physical Education and Mathematics.

Experience: I trained in 2010-11 at the University of East Anglia (UEA) completing a PGCE in Physical Education. Since then I have worked at Westcliff High School for Boys, teaching both Mathematics and Physical Education for 4 years. I have also recently become a head of year at the School and this is alongside my teaching duties.

I have tutored privately in Mathematics before to different clients, and I have also tutored groups of younger pupils in Mathematics hoping to gain entry to the school.

In Physical Education I have achieved very high results both at GCSE (approx 85% A.A across two cohorts) and AS/A2 Physical Education (A2 - 80% A.A and AS 75% A grade) and have taught both for many years.

Being a teacher I am acutely aware of how teachers can drastically affect the experiences of pupils. I am very passionate about my subjects and expect the very best from my pupils. I particularly like to use a range of resources and materials within my teaching/tutoring and will not simply just teach using pen and paper.

Once tutees are familiar and can work with fundamental elements of the subject, I look to incorporate practice papers (11+/GCSE) to try and further develop the tutees answering ability.

I also look to use technology where possible, by communicating with tutees through Skype/Facetime and emails to further enhance their learning experience. I am very keen to set H/W and expect the tutees to complete this punctually.
