Experienced • Professional • Patient • Supportive • Dedicated

I am a fully qualified and experienced Maths and ICT teacher, and have taught all secondary year groups and abilities. I am also an examiner for GCSE maths for two exam boards.

I am now an online tutor and web developer. Both roles are flexible which means I can tutor at any time of the day and am free to adjust my schedule at short notice.

Prior to becoming a teacher, I studied aerospace engineering at university.

For online tuition I prefer to use pen and paper than online tools because at school and in exams that is what the student has to do.

The student needs nothing more than access to a mobile phone (though computer monitor or tablet is better) and normal maths equipment.

Availability: I run classes at the following times:
M: 08:00, 09:15, 10:30, 11:45, 16:15, 17:30, 18:45, 20:00
Tu: 08:00, 09:15, 10:30, 11:45, 16:15, 17:30, 18:45, 20:00
W: 08:00, 09:15, 10:30, 11:45, 16:15, 17:30, 18:45, 20:00
Th: 08:00, 09:15, 10:30, 11:45, 16:15, 17:30, 18:45, 20:00
F: 08:00, 09:15, 10:30, 11:45, 15:00, 16:15, 17:30

Willing to travel: Home Only

Experience: 10+ years experience • 1000+ students taught • Y7 - Y13 • All abilities

I have more than 10 years classroom experience at schools in the UK and abroad. As well as teaching Maths, I have taught ICT in the majority of those schools.

As a teacher, I estimate that I must have taught well over 1000 students. Those students have come from a wealth of backgrounds and abilities. All those who have had key exams (GCSE, A level, IB) have passed, including at least two students who were expected to fail by a significant margin.
I have had students with Special Educational Needs as well as students who are Gifted or Talented. Whilst I like to teach the whole spectrum of abilities, I find it most rewarding to teach those who are struggling because it is satisfying to see them flourish and start to enjoy the subject.

As an examiner, I am well aware of the common mistakes that students make, and why they happen. I highlight these common errors to students so that they are aware of them and can avoid making the same mistakes themselves. The better a student can understand what an examiner is looking for, the more prepared that student is for the exam.
