Lauren Girvin

I believe I would make an excellent maths tutor because of both my strong academic background and my ability to explain complex ideas clearly and with patience. I studied Mathematics, Physics, and Technology & Design at A-Level, subjects that required strong problem-solving skills, logical reasoning, and a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. Building on this, I went on to achieve a Higher National Certificate (HNC) in Engineering with Distinction, which further strengthened my numerical ability and demonstrated my capacity to apply mathematics in practical, real-world contexts. I then went onto my Bachelor’s degree in Technology with Design, which gave me experience in connecting mathematical principles to innovative design solutions, showing me how theory underpins creativity and engineering. This combination of years of studies means I have both the academic knowledge and the applied experience to support students in developing a genuine understanding of mathematics, not just learning methods by rote. Beyond my qualifications, I am enthusiastic, approachable, and passionate about helping others succeed. I understand that every student learns differently, so I adapt my teaching style to suit individual needs, whether that involves breaking problems into manageable steps, using real-life examples, or encouraging students to think critically about how they approach a question. Most importantly, I want to make maths enjoyable and rewarding, showing learners that with the right guidance, they can achieve far more than they thought they could. My background and positive attitude make me confident that I would be an effective, supportive, and inspiring maths tutor for students!
