James

My name is James and I have a Maths Degree and a Masters Degree in Applied Statistics. I also have 8 years` experience: three of those as a full-time Maths teacher and five years as either a face-to-face or an online personal Maths tutor. My expertise, my passion and my delight are in helping people grow to their full potential at Maths - whether they are children, young people or adults returning to study.

As a tutor I try hard to be approachable, affirming, engaging and - where needed - patient. Particular skills I work on include exam preparation, unlocking individual topics, invaluable resource ideas and building stronger foundations in core areas of Maths. With this approach I am certain I can help any student grow significantly in their confidence, subject knowledge, motivation and grade improvement.

I believe I can particularly help those who lack self-confidence or who feel that they are falling behind in Maths. But I can also assist more capable, aspirational students who need stretching and challenging. My specialism is tutoring students to pass their GCSE Maths. Sometimes this takes the form of a short `crash course` but, more usually, I begin tuition in Year 10 or Year11. I do, however, tutor Maths at ALL levels up to and including GCSE, as well as Maths/English/Verbal Reasoning/NVR for the 11+ Exams.

Availability: Daytimes, After School, Evenings & Weekends - see MY AVAILABILITY for further day-by-day details.

Experience: I have previously taught students at all levels of Maths up to and including GCSE. I did this for three years in a Further Education college setting. I have now been a full-time Maths tutor for five years and currently have students of all ages between 5 and 18.
