I work as Head of A-Level Mathematics at The Canterbury High School. I have over 4 years of tutoring experience, both in person and online.

I offer a flexible price based on availability and required hours. Longer-distance lessons may affect price. I also teach 11+ and Common Entrance.

I believe that Mathematics is much easier to learn if it can be demonstrated in the real world: a difficult task for many branches of the subject but surprisingly viable up to GCSE Higher level. At A-Level and beyond, students tend to have developed the ability to visualise the more complex, theoretical problems in their mind.

Concepts such as pi, Pythagoras` Theorem and probability are all easily demonstrable (and in the case of probability, the Monty Hall Problem will drop the jaws of any skeptical students), allowing classes to grasp the ways in which Mathematics defines the universe.

Even if something can`t be demonstrated practically, the right approach can pay dividends. Teaching students to embrace maths, not fear it, encourages the creativity and problem-solving skills required to break down and comprehend otherwise intimidating problems, and equations such as the Quadratic Formula and Binomial Expansion.
