Personal Descri ption:

Experienced maths teacher having been a Head of Department previously. Due to time constraints I only work with a few students a year. I have a 100% success rate. Everyone I have tutored has passed with a C and above, usually either early or with a higher then targeted grade or both.
Qualified Experienced Mathematics teacher (PGCE,Ma (hons)) who enjoys preparing students to succeed with KS3 and G.C.S.E examinations. I am understanding and patient with all students. I strive to help pupils achieve their goals whether they find the subject demanding, need stretching or simply lack motivation.

Tutoring Approach:

I endeavour to foster understanding based on goal orientated and outcome based learning. Often pupils suffer in exams due to poor exam technique rather than a lack of mathematical ability or understanding. I think the best way to teach is one to one and feel by tutoring I am able to help individuals in the most effective way, unfortunately we as a society can not afford to conduct our schools in such a manner.

I always run over and do not rush the tutee in or out of the door. I always finish the questions we`re working on and I always set homework. It is the responsibility of parents to ensure students complete home but at the same time have a work/life balanced as I do not know the exact week to week demands school places on students.

Availability: Week nights, weekends, School holidays.

Some Terms (based on good manners):

Cancellation policy: Once a session has been booked should you need to cancel please phone me with at least 24hrs notice or full charge will be applied. In almost 10yrs I have only cancelled once.

Lateness policy: If your running late please contact me via telephone to inform me before your late. If your late I will do my up-most to accommodate you (usually 10-15mins is not a problem). The full charge for the session will apply regardless of how much time is left for us to work together.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: Qualified Experienced Working Full Time Mathematics Teacher
Tutoring Experience:

Until recently I have been a full time working mathematics teacher at Birmingham inner city comps and remain in touch with today`s curriculum and the demands placed on students. I have been teaching mathematics for over eight years, working with `super top` sets to `middle` and `support`. I maintain close links with Heads of Department in Birmingham and Coventry.

I recently delivered and designed a gifted and talented primary course introducing G&T maths primary school students to GCSE mathematics. The feedback was extremely positive so I am now prepared to tutor G&T primary school students and accept some KS2 students.
