Information about Francesca
I`m a friendly and reliable, St. Albans based, professional maths tutor with a strong academic background in mathematics and applied mathematics. I have a degree in mechanical engineering and spent the majority of my twenties working in the Aerospace industry. I designed satellites for British Aerospace in Stevenage, UK and Node 2 of the international space station for Alenia Spazio, Italy. In 2002 I joined the police service and undertook a range of uniformed and detective roles retiring in 2021, as a Detective Chief Inspector.
My academic and employment history lends itself to strong skills in mathematical and analytical thinking. I am not only able to teach maths but also to highlight to students practical applications for what they learn in the classroom.
As the mother of a child with ADHD and ASD I have a particular interest in tutoring children with either identified or suspected special educational needs and disabilities (SEND). I have successfully tutored pupils with: Level 1 ASD, ADHD, dyslexia, anxiety and depression.
As well as having private clients ranging from Y3 - Y11, I currently work as a maths tutor five days a week, at 3 local primary schools.
I undertake an initial "getting to know you" meeting free of charge whereby I can assess ability and understand client requirements. This is also an important step to ensure the student is comfortable and that we have a good, productive rapport moving forward. I tailor my lessons to fit individual learning styles and can build the required confidence for success. I am truly passionate about unlocking each and every student`s full potential, helping them to overcome any negative internal rhetoric about the subject thereby increasing confidence and self esteem.
I provide instruction online or in person. Students are welcome to attend my home address but I can only currently travel approximately 1 mile from home.
Availability: I have very limited availability now.
Willing to travel: 50 miles
Experience: I now have two years of maths tutoring experience covering primary, secondary and GCSE mathematics.
Below are some comments and feedback I have received from parents, details of which are available upon request:
"My daughter has made amazing progress in a short space of time. From a girl who had zero confidence and hating maths, to being so confident and thoroughly enjoying maths. Her grades have also soared! Francesca is so calm, patient and caring, explains things so simply and clearly which helps my child enormously. I can`t praise Francesca enough!" Sarah Kilkoyne (parent KS2)
"Fran is a superb tutor. She helped my son with preparation for his 11+ as well as consolidating tricky concepts in Y7 and I can`t recommend her enough. She combines a thorough, no-nonsense approach with a kind and calm personality which really brings out the best in children. Her focus on building confidence and finding the fun in maths works wonders." Katherine Keen (parent 11+ and KS3)
DBS Check: Yes
