Keystage 3 - Maths and Keystage 4 - Maths
________________________________________________________________________

I am a retired teacher of Mathematics, recently moved to Somerset/Dorset border from Lincolnshire. I have taught in a variety of schools, my last twenty-five years as Head of a Successful Maths Department in a Leicestershire 11 - 16 comprehensive.
I offer quality teaching across Keystages 3 and 4 and at all ability levels. I work with pupils in a calm friendly manner encouraging the best from them whether it be catch-up, reinforcement or overcoming anxiety. My sessions will generally last a minimum of an hour, sometimes a little longer. I explain and demonstrate aspects of the current classroom topic or work through a separate program of study as needed to ensure thorough understanding and confidence. I will expect input during lessons and I will usually leave practice work but sessions will not involve my watching a pupil wading through lengthy set exercises.
I provide all necessary materials - paper, practice texts, past exam papers etc but it can be helpful to see examples of school work - exercise book, and test results.
I will teach from home or travel - if the latter, I will add £5 per lesson to my fee. Sessions are generally weekly but timing and frequency can be adapted to suit.

Availability: Afternoon/Evenings - Tuesday, Wednesday.

Willing to travel: 20 miles

Experience: Almost forty years of quality teaching in a variety of education establishments - the last 25 years as Head of a successful Department of Maths in a mixed, all ability, comprehensive school.
