As an enthusiastic and dedicated university student studying Psychology, I bring strong communication, leadership, and interpersonal skills to tutoring primary and secondary school students in Maths. My experience as a volunteer classroom assistant at West Acton Primary School, including supporting SEN students, has equipped me with the ability to adapt lessons to different learning styles and needs. Through leadership roles such as President of the Psychology Society and Student Head of Drama, I have developed engaging, creative, and structured teaching approaches that foster confidence and academic growth. I aim to create a supportive, interactive learning environment that encourages curiosity, problem-solving, resilience, and a positive attitude towards Maths.

My lessons follow a clear yet flexible format, beginning with a warm-up activity to recap previous learning and spark engagement. Core teaching time focuses on key Maths skills such as arithmetic, algebra, geometry, and problem-solving, using a mix of textbooks, interactive exercises, and real-world examples to make concepts relatable and engaging. I incorporate practical activities, visual aids, and games to make learning dynamic, enjoyable, and memorable. Each session concludes with a short review and tailored feedback to highlight strengths and target areas for improvement. I encourage active participation, guide students through step-by-step solutions, and adapt pacing so that every student feels challenged but supported, building both skill and confidence over time. I also offer marking and detailed feedback on work outside of lesson time, providing extra support to help students strengthen their skills and successfully achieve their learning goals.
