Hello,
I am a secondary school maths teacher at Firth Park Academy. Having been passionate about teaching mathematics from a young age, my degree offers me both a mathematics degree and an opportunity to develop skills to support and encourage secondary school students to excel in mathematics which I am able to apply in my teaching practices today.
I am a friendly, easy-going and a patient individual who is able to get along with people of all ages.
I know how difficult the subject can be and I have seen students struggle in class. However, my aim is to make mathematics an interesting and a fun subject to learn to ensure students to become confident learners. I do this by structuring my lessons based on the preferred learning styles of the pupil. Moreover, I believe that working through problems and getting students to understand mathematical concepts is crucial in achieving top grades in contrast to memorising facts, which is supported by most schools.
My padegogies have been proven to ameliorate the understanding of my students; having tutored a couple of students in the past 5 years, one of my students, who struggled with algebra was predicted a grade 4 in GCSE mathematics but over a course of 7 weeks of tuition she came out of a surprise to see that she achieved a final grade of 5. This really shows that anyone can achieve in mathematics.

Thank you for taking the time to read the above and I will look forward to answering any questions you have.
