Information about Jan
I am a professional, fully-qualified tutor who moved to this area 6 years ago. I have a master`s degree in Maths and Education, plus teaching qualification in Maths with distinction and many years experience in this country and abroad, tutoring and teaching.
I have the certificate in teaching English as a foreign language, and 7 years experience teaching English abroad and in this country.
I have successfully tutored many pupils in English GCSE over the years.
Finally, I am an experienced IELTS teacher, teaching directly for the exam for 7 years, and working as an examiner in Finland for 2 years.
I thoroughly enjoy teaching one-to-one which I see as an opportunity to pass on my passionate enthusiasm for learning Maths, and developing English language skills. I am experienced in adapting to a wide variety of needs and learning styles. I take a friendly, but professional, hard-working approach.
I teach all levels, including degree level.I have experience with both adults and children of all ages. I am fully conversant with GCSE and A level, all syllabuses. I have a very high success rate with exam candidates.
I offer Maths to all levels including degree level, English to GCSE and English as a foreign language
Availability: I am now getting very booked up for the new academic year. The uncertainty also of whether I will have to return to all online or offer students and parents the choice as previously planned is also making it hard to form a clear timetable. It is very complicated! So, for the meantime anyway, I have decided to radically cut back on availability and subjects here until the situation is clearer.
Sorry! It will hopefully change in a few months. Many thanks to those who have messaged me.
I am still offering English Foreign Language tutoring, IELTS and A level Maths.
Willing to travel: Home Only
Experience: 30 years experience in home Maths and English tuition both in UK and abroad. All ages and levels.
Teaching in universities, language schools,and secondary schools. Both children and adult classes.
I`ve worked in educational research and I am experienced with students of diverse needs, including dyslexia.

We are extremely happy with the results of Jan`s tutoring in English Language GCSE (1-9 system) as my son has gone from a grade 3 (August 2017 result) to a passing grade 5 (August 2018 result).
Jan is very patient, pleasant and positive. In a very short period of time Jan was able to quickly gain a clear understanding of my son`s strengths and weaknesses which allowed them to work well together. He enjoyed being taught by Jan and felt her encouraging attitude in her teaching gave him more of a motivation to want to pass English.
So thank you Jan for your all your help.
We would highly recommend

She is the most excellent tutor I ever met!!! She taught me GCSE English on March 2017 and my exam date on end of June 2017. I`ve learnt many useful language skills and techniques of how to tackle important information to answer every question in the mock exam paper. I like the way she uses Mind Mapping style to make things simple and clear. She also help me with GCSE Maths. She is good at giving me great examples, clear explanation and even simple steps to follow. I strongly recommend Ms.Jan to you. She is my GCSE`s goddess now, if I can give her 6 stars even 10 stars I would.

Jan is a great tutor who is helping me with my GCSE maths revision. She is very clear, and explains the work so that I can really understand. She shows me where there are gaps in my work and really helps me to see where I can improve.

Jan was very friendly and quickly built a good rapport with my daughter. She quickly identified my daughter`s strengths and weaknesses, and set appropriate homework for her. What we really appreciated was Jan`s assessment that my daughter did not need, for now, more than the two lessons i.e. Jan provided us with what my daughter needed, no more, no less. I would happily recommend Jan and if necessary would happily employ her services again.

My daughter has only had a few lessons to date but already she has a much better understanding, is growing in confidence and has come on in leaps and bounds. Jan seems to be able to explain things very clearly and has built a good rapport with my daughter - Jan is tutoring A level maths for my daughter

Excellent tutor, I have progressed a great deal since being taught by Jan in relation to an Open University Maths course. Would have no hesitation in recommending to others.
