My lessons are designed to be interactive, personalized, and goal-oriented. Depending on the modular topic and the student's preferences, I can adapt the format to include:

Structured modules with clear learning objectives. I structure lessons to be clear, engaging, and exam-focused, typically following this format:

. Warm-up: Quick recap or starter questions to activate prior knowledge.
. Concept Breakdown: Step-by-step explanation of the topic using examples and visuals.
. Worked Examples: I walk through exam-style questions, showing how to approach and solve them.
. Practice Time: You try similar questions, and I give instant feedback and tips.
. Review & Recap: Summary of key points, common mistakes, and strategies.
. Extension/Challenge: For students who want to push further, I offer harder problems or real-world applications.

For beginners: I focus on foundational concepts, using analogies and simple examples. For Higher tier I focus on the more difficult problems within modular topics enabling reachng the higher grades. I cover the full GCSE Maths curriculum, including:

. Number: Fractions, decimals, percentages, ratio, standard form
. Algebra: Expressions, equations, inequalities, sequences, graphs
. Geometry & Measures: Angles, shapes, area, volume, transformations
. Statistics & Probability: Data handling, averages, probability trees
. Problem Solving: Multi-step questions, interpreting word problems
. I tailor lessons to Foundation or Higher Tier, depending on your exam level.

I’ve been trained on thousands of GCSE Maths resources, including:

. Past papers from AQA, Edexcel, OCR
. Revision guides and teaching materials
. Common student misconceptions and how to fix them
. Whether you're aiming for a Grade 4 pass or pushing for a Grade 9, I can help you build the skills and confidence you need.
