I have just finished my A levels and tutoring at Yipiyap, a role which involved acting as a maths teaching assistant in a high school, and teaching GCSE maths online through running small group sessions.

I achieved A*s in A level maths, biology, philosophy and EPQ, and I`m currently teaching myself A level further maths, hence my enthusiasm. At GCSE, I achieved grade 9s in maths, biology, chemistry, physics (and English literature), and an A (best grade) in additional maths- which I can also tutor in.

I have 2 years peer mentoring experience for which I earned an award, highlighting my friendly and approachable nature, communication skills and compassion. I`m successfully prepared my brother for his 11+ exams, as he got into Sale Grammar and Manchester Grammar. I also have a year`s experience in helping a group of year 11 boys with their GCSE maths, for which I got very positive feedback from my teacher.

My teaching style is informal and exam based; I believe developing rapport is crucial, and getting students to think through the problem themselves is vital.

Having recently finished Sixth Form, I have a great knowledge of the GCSE and A level specifications and an ability to tackle them from a student`s perspective, and, crucially, I can relate to my students and their struggles with maths. This position, coupled with a conscientious and friendly nature is why I believe I am a great tutor.
