Tashane

BSc Mathematics with Statistics 2024 graduate, specialising in tutoring Maths & Further Maths to children aged 6-18 for the last 7+ years.

I completed my GCSEs, AS and A Levels at the UK`s `Number 1 Ranking` Grammar School - Queen Elizabeth`s School for Boys.

I got the highest grades possible for Maths (grade 9 at GCSE and A* at A Level) and also achieved A* at A Level Further Mathematics.

I offer a free consultation to get to know you and your child, and give them a short assessment to test their abilities. I will then put together a bespoke learning course, just for you!

My teaching does not stop at the end of the lesson - I am available seven days a week to remotely help with any questions - again, free of charge!

I look forward to hearing from you :)

My Tutoring Approach:

In my experience, I have learned that the majority of tutors just `turn-up-and-teach` without actually preparing. `Understanding` is the most important thing when it comes to learning maths, not `regurgitating information`. As a tutor, I only get ONE CHANCE to impart `understanding` in a way that not only clear, but coherent. Not preparing only means the student will only get more confused. But this won`t happen with me!!

In my years as a student, I remember my tutors either setting no homework at all, or random questions from some textbook they`ve just picked out. Pick me as your tutor, and be confident each homework has been uniquely written by myself to complement the lesson that I`ve taught, which contains routine practice questions, as well as a couple of more challenging ones, designed to encouraging them to `think` outside the box, making them a better mathematician.

Closer to the exams, I go through years and years of past papers, and pick out the most appropriate previous exam questions - but not too early! It`s important my students have developed that deep understanding of the syllabus first. Yes - yet again, my experience has made me realise that too many tutors are using these exam past papers and `teaching` their students with them, instead of going through the basics first.
Is it a good idea to give a bunch of papers to a student and hope they`ll get on with it? Especially when the student isn`t ready, perhaps hasn`t learned all of the content inside out, and hasn`t been walked through a single practice question, let alone an entire paper before? I focus on exam practice, but only at the right time.
