I am a qualified, experienced, full-time maths tutor. I’ve been teaching students in and around Stevenage for 4 years. I am punctual, professional, reliable and flexible too. Lessons can be 60, 90 or 120 minutes, ad-hoc or weekly. I offer 1-to-1 tuition locally, in your home or mine, and the first lesson is free.

I specialise in teaching maths at key stage 3 or GCSE, foundation or higher levels, years 7 to 11. I help students rebuild confidence, plug knowledge gaps, improve their grades, move to a higher set and prepare for tests and exams.

Friendly, kind and patient, I consider the needs of the student and coach them to enjoy the subject and achieve their potential. I encouraging independent learning and a sense of accomplishment with maths by increasing their understanding of the subject. I help them to succeed and achieve their goals and target grades.

My teaching style is demonstration through worked examples and explaining difficult concepts in an easy to understand way. I make sure they understand and can apply the curriculum topics by answering lots of different maths questions. I set homework to ensure the student has understood the lesson and mark it the following week. I prepare students for exams by working through past papers and test questions.
