I’m a qualified Secondary Maths Teacher (ECT2) with a BSc from the University of Warwick and specialist experience teaching GCSE Maths on the Edexcel exam board. I also hold a Level 2 Children and Young People’s Mental Health qualification and I am fully DBS checked.

I have two years of teaching experience in a diverse secondary school in the heart of Nuneaton, where many students face additional barriers to learning. In this environment I quickly progressed within the department, taking a leading role in rewriting the KS4 curriculum and creating high-quality, accessible GCSE resources. This strengthened my ability to support a wide range of learners, raise achievement, and design structured, exam-focused content.

Outside school, I also teach children and adults at an aerial arts studio, including classes specifically designed for autistic and neurodivergent students. This experience has deepened my expertise in sensory-aware instruction, emotional regulation support, and building calm, inclusive learning environments where anxious learners can thrive.

As someone with lived experience of ADHD and autism (self-identified/awaiting diagnosis), I bring both genuine empathy and practical understanding to my teaching. My sessions are calm, structured, predictable, and designed to reduce overwhelm — ideal for learners who need clarity, routine, and reassurance.

My teaching approach is clear, highly scaffolded, and rooted in explicit modelling and step-by-step examples. I use an “I do — We do — You do” structure to build independence, ensuring students always feel supported as their confidence grows.

I also specialise in teaching students how to decode and interpret exam questions, identify command words, break down complex phrasing, and understand exactly what the examiner is asking — essential for success with Edexcel.

I excel in:
• Adaptive teaching tailored to individual needs
• Supporting SEND, neurodivergent, and anxious learners
• Behaviour management and de-escalation
• Sensory-aware and trauma-informed practice
• Creating calm, inclusive, and hardworking learning environments
• Clear modelling, scaffolding, and example-led teaching
• Curriculum design and high-quality resource creation
• Moving learners from confusion →;;;;; clarity →;;;;; confidence

Subjects I tutor:
✔;;;;; GCSE Maths (Edexcel — Foundation & Higher)
✔;;;;; KS3 Maths
✔;;;;; Adults preparing for GCSE Maths resits
✔;;;;; Home-educated and flexi-schooled learners
✔;;;;; Students on reduced, medical, or alternative timetables

All lessons are personalised to the learner’s processing style, sensory needs, and academic goals. I use modelling, guided practice, visual supports, and real Edexcel exam questions to help students build secure understanding and long-lasting confidence.
