Information about Benjamin

I have been teaching for five years in two secondary schools, reaching middle leadership in my latest role.

From my experience in teaching, I’ve gone down the path of combining research in cognitive science with classroom practice. I introduce new knowledge in small chunks, with opportunities for checking understanding and independent practice. This knowledge will then be checked in the following session by way of low-stakes questioning and a recap if necessary.

Low-stakes is important because we want confidence to build!

I deliver new content by using a range of techniques such as using analogies, reference to what they learned at primary school, visualisation and in some cases derivation to assist understanding.

Using this methodology in a 1-1 setting is powerful, as it is in the classroom, so the progress will be excellent. Any misconceptions can also be quickly identified and corrected in a fun way!

I have an adept ability to relate to the students who are struggling with maths and can help overcome any maths anxiety with humour and reassurance. Any difficult-looking content is not out of their reach, they just need a stable bridge between what they know from primary school to where they need to get to now at KS4 or even KS5.

Availability: After school 4:30pm onwards during weekdays.

8am - 11am during weekends.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I am currently a secondary school mathematics teacher with 5 years experience, reaching the role of deputy head of mathematics.

I am currently taking up more private tutoring after some success with it in my previous years as it was something I truly enjoyed. I have taught both foundation and higher GCSE students, all achieving the grades that they set out to get, provided that the hard work is in place! (Testimonials can be given upon request)

On average, my students achieve one grade higher than what they were predicted at school.

I have a strong understanding of exam board criteria having worked in two different schools with two different exam boards. Therefore, I will be able to ensure that exam technique becomes a focal point when revision takes place so that the tutee will be able to tick the right boxes!

My patience is one of my strongest traits - if a tutee struggles to understand a concept I always look for alternative ways to demonstrate and explain until the learning takes place.
