A friendly, patient, passionate and thorough tutor with +8 years tutoring experience, willing to go the extra mile to ensure student’s academic success.

I am based in Bishopbriggs and also a former Bishopbriggs academy student. However, I also travel to other parts of Glasgow to tutor.

I studied Mathematics at Heriot-watt University and BA Education with specialism in Numeracy at the University of Stirling, which has led me into the field of teaching.

I believe in approaching teaching with dedication and going the extra mile to provide the level of support learners deserve.

Experience: I have been tutoring for +8 years at both primary and secondary level in areas such as Bishopbriggs, Lenzie, Kirkintilloch, Bearsden, Milngavie and Robyroyston. However, I mainly specialise in secondary level mathematics from S1 - S3, Nat 4, Nat 5 to Higher.

Additionally, I have also worked in several primary schools as work experience in the local Bishopbriggs and Cumbernauld area.

My +8 years of tutoring and work experience in schools has allowed me to identify areas where pupils commonly have difficulty with and in doing so, develop a personalized teaching approach to prevent gaps in learner knowledge and create lessons that are easy to understand and inspire confidence in learners.

Teaching Practice – What you will get out of the lessons?

A Systematic approach to Teaching and Easy-to-follow lesson structure - I adopt a systematic approach to teaching that ensures lessons are easily understood by explaining the learning content in a step-by-step process using everyday language that allows pupils to understand mathematics easier.

Identify pupil`s strengths and weaknesses - I will firstly identify pupil`s strengths and weaknesses so I can identify areas where students needs work on. I will then prioritise focusing on improving on those areas of weakness to ensure there are no gaps in learner knowledge so pupils feel confident in their understanding.

Exam revision and past papers practice - I will introduce various successful exam strategies, past-paper revision techniques and plenty of exam practice so pupils can feel confident going into the exam.

Clear communication and transparency of pupil`s learning progress with pupils and parents - I will update both students and parents of the learning progress at the end of the lesson so everyone is on the same page.

Provide recommendations for maths practice books and flexible lesson scheduling - I will also recommend any books to purchase. Furthermore, I provide flexible scheduling of lessons to work around the pupil`s timetables.
