Hi! My name is Stan, and I am a Mathematics and Science teaching Assistant at a secondary school.

Qualifications & Experiences:
- Secondary school Teaching Assistant, specialising in Maths and Science

- Positive and friendly attitude

Subjects On Offer:

My Style:
My experiences working with children has allowed me to understand that every child achieves differently. This means to achieve the best grades for your child, I will work with them to identify weaknesses and help them understand the process of learning, not just the right answer. I find it easy to build rapport with students, and consider myself a creative teacher that uses a good sense of humour and a friendly attitude to make the learning process enjoyable. To help your child specifically, we will create personalised `Progress Plans` whereby we can identify areas of difficulty and work towards certain goals.

Availability: I am available to teach children from KS1 to GCSE, but specialise in KS3 and GCSE specifically.

During Term Time:
Available in the evenings during the weekday.
Available in the mornings of weekends.

During School Holidays:
I am flexible and available throughout :)

Please contact me if you would like a chat or to arrange a tutoring session.

Willing to travel: 5 miles

Experience: I have over 2 years of experience working in a range of schools, including secondary, primary and SEND.

Due to my current employment as a secondary school teaching assistant, I am familiar with the Maths and Science syllabus and understand the main challenges students face. For example, I am responsible for leading Mathematics intervention sessions for students identified needing extra support. Thus far, I have helped over 70 KS3 students improve their Maths test score by an average of 80%. I also organise intervention sessions for GCSE students, working on perfecting exam techniques and conceptual understanding.

Life skills do not always come from the classroom. This is why I have worked with students in the community to build social skills, such as supporting work experience in a cafe and founding an `Eco Club`. As a result, I aim to support each one of my pupils both academically and socially, to help them be the best version of themselves they can be.
