I have been a full-time private maths tutor for 7 years. Before that I was a maths teacher at a local comprehensive school from 2000 to 2007. I have always liked maths and I get a lot of enjoyment and satisfaction from tutoring. I have several ways of explaining mathematical topics and I always try to ensure that my students understand what they are learning rather than just follow a rule blindly. I encourage my students to ask as many questions as they need to. At the start of my lessons I do a quick recap of topics covered in previous weeks, making a note of what has been remembered and what needs a bit more work.

Here is some information about my teaching experience:
From 2000 to 2007 I was a maths teacher at Fortismere School, a mixed comprehensive secondary school in Muswell Hill. Each year I taught a full range of classes from Year 7 up to and including A-level.
For the last 7 years I have been a full time private maths tutor. In that time I have tutored well over a hundred pupils, covering Key Stage 3, GCSE and A-level mathematics. Several parents have told me that they would be very happy to provide references for me if required. In 2010/2011 I also tutored several Year 7, 8 and 9 pupils at Northumberland Park Community School as part of the government`s one-to-one tuition scheme. The year before that I tutored small groups of GCSE pupils at Friern Barnet School for eleven weeks in the run up to their exams.
I am a GCSE and A-level examiner for two exam boards (Edexcel and OCR), and I have a maths degree from Imperial College.
