Hi,

Inspiring confidence and raising standards in Mathematics is my passion! As a highly skilled Secondary school teacher with over seven years teaching experience, I strongly believe all children can succeed in Mathematics given the right encouragement and support. A `can-do` attitude with a growth mindset towards their learning is often the key.

Having qualified in 1995, I took a career break after one academic year in order to raise my three children all of whom have sat Common Entrance or Scholarship exams.

Encouraging and patient, I have a range of excellent resources and teaching strategies to engage all students. However, in my experience as a classroom teacher I found it much more rewarding teaching students on a one-to-one basis and providing individualised support. My main focus is to develop a solid grounding on basic Mathematical skills and then to work on exam technique and ensure students know how to answer exam questions in order to maximise marks.

I am currently working on a part-time basis in the SEND department of an Independent girls school as a one-to-one tutor. I also recently worked with the Individual Pupil Support Services supporting pupils who were no longer able to continue with mainstream education - both of which I thoroughly enjoy and find highly rewarding.

Please feel free to contact me if you have any queries.

Many thanks.

Mindy

Experience: Having taught Mathematics for over seven years including three years as a one to one tutor, I have gained invaluable experience of teaching across the curriculum and to all abilities within Key stages 2, 3 and 4. I am familiar with the new GCSE 9-1 grading system and the challenges it presents.

I have an excellent rapport with students, am quick to identify areas of weakness and able to explain complex Mathematical concepts in an easily understandable manner. All of my students have exceeded their target grades and have developed into confident, well-rounded, independent thinkers.

I have experience of tutoring for Pretests, 11 Plus, Common Entrance/Scholarship exams and GCSEs. All students I have tutored have gained entry into their first choice schools including Tiffin Girls School, Harrow, Kingston Grammar, Reeds, RGS, Claremont and St. Georges.
