Maths and other logical subjects such as languages and IT have always fascinated me and my enthusiasm for the subjects is what led me to start teaching them.

I have been a tutor for about 20 years and first started tutoring when I spent a year in Germany as part of my BA languages degree. I taught English in a grammar school and the pupils ranged in age from 10 to 18.

After completing my degree, I did some more private tutoring and also taught English and IT skills as part of the voluntary work I did with a group of refugees.

Since 2008 I have been a part-time private tutor in Nottingham.

My approach to tutoring is relaxed and informal as in my experience this makes lessons more enjoyable and facilitates learning. I also incorporate materials relating to subjects that my students are interested in and I vary my teaching methods to suit each student. I am very patient and will explain a subject in as many ways as necessary until the student understands.

In lessons I generally start off using exercises from workbooks that cover a wide range of topics. I then determine the subject areas the student had the most difficulty with in the exercises and do some work focused on those. During future lessons I`ll revisit these topics to check how much information the student has retained and will go over it again if necessary.

I`m happy to travel up to 5 miles to a student`s house but will need to charge a bit more for journeys of over 3 miles to account for the extra travelling time and petrol required.
