ONLINE lessons available. Fully qualified, highly experienced and very professional `A` Level and GCSE Maths specialist tutor. Passionate about mathematics and passionate about teaching. Lots of classroom and 1-to-1 experience. I am patient and kind, and I excel in boosting students` confidence and thereby improving grades. I have an excellent track record with my students. As the curriculum becomes more challenging and the race for the best school and university places ever more competitive, the need for good tuition grows. I have an enhanced DBS certificate and can provide further references if required. I have successfully tutored pupils from year 5 (primary) up to A-level. Whatever the level of mathematics, I deliver thorough and in depth lessons tailored to the students needs.

Availability: Lots of availability for online and face to face lessons. For online lessons I use Skype/Teams/Zoom for voice, and an online whiteboard for which I provide login details to the student, for writing. This is very straight forward, and just as good if not better than face to face teaching. I also teach face to face at my home in Goring. Following the intensity of online learning during the pandemic, many students now prefer face to face teaching. Both types of lesson are good!

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: I have a B.Sc. in Mathematics from Birmingham University, and a PGCE from the OU. I have 7 years classroom experience, and about 9 years tutoring experience. I have up to date experience of the new GCSE and A level curriculum.
Maths is a subject in which it is easy to lose confidence. Equally it is very easy to restore confidence with individual tuition. Work can be covered at a pace which is suitable for and guided by the student`s needs. I have the ability to break topics down to clear misconceptions and rebuild knowledge so that uncertainty is removed and confidence is gained. I am calm, patient, kind, conscientious and approachable. Maths is and should be fun for everyone! I convey my enjoyment and enthusiasm to my pupils so that they gain confidence, higher grades, and happiness in the subject too.

DBS Check: Yes
