My lessons are personalised, engaging and designed around each student’s individual needs and goals. Whether you’re aiming to improve your confidence, catch up on missed learning or achieve a top GCSE grade, I will create a learning plan that works for you.

Each lesson begins with a quick recap of previous learning before introducing new concepts through clear explanations and worked examples. We then practise together using carefully chosen questions before moving on to independent exam-style problems, with regular feedback throughout. This approach helps build understanding while developing confidence and independence.

As a qualified Mathematics teacher, current Second in Faculty and Edexcel GCSE examiner, I know exactly what examiners are looking for and can teach effective exam techniques alongside mathematical understanding. I have experience teaching both Edexcel and AQA GCSE courses, as well as supporting Key Stage 3 students in building strong foundations for future success.

I also have extensive experience supporting students with SEND and adapt my teaching style to suit different learning needs and abilities. I believe every student can succeed with the right support, encouragement and teaching approach.

Lessons are delivered online using interactive resources, digital whiteboards and shared documents to keep learning engaging and effective. After each lesson, students receive any resources used and, where appropriate, independent practice to reinforce their learning.

My aim is not just to improve grades, but to help students develop the confidence and problem-solving skills that will benefit them long after their exams and prepare them for life beyond secondary school and into the wider world of work
