My lessons are tailored to each student's ability, confidence, and goals. I believe that effective maths tutoring is not just about showing students a method, but helping them understand why that method works and giving them the confidence to apply it independently.

I have experience tutoring primary school students while I was in secondary school and I currently support my younger sisters with their GCSE Maths. I also completed a teaching internship at a secondary school, where I supported teachers during lessons, helped students who were struggling with concepts, and developed a better understanding of how to make learning more effective.

My lessons focus heavily on guided practice, as I believe students improve most by actively solving problems rather than only listening to explanations. At the start of lessons, I identify areas where the student feels less confident and build from the foundations needed to succeed.

For students who find maths challenging, I break problems into smaller steps and strengthen the underlying skills. For example, when teaching Pythagoras' Theorem, I might first revisit concepts such as indices, squares, rearranging equations, and recognising which values belong in the formula before applying the theorem.

For more confident students, I encourage deeper understanding by asking them to explain their own methods, test whether their approach works in different situations, and think critically about why mistakes happen.

My aim is to make maths feel less intimidating and more enjoyable, while helping students develop the skills and confidence they need to succeed.
