Passionate Maths Tutor specialising in getting students ready for GCSE's

I'm a third year Mathematics BSc student, and a full-time professional musician. I'm a songwriter, a good communicator and I'm philosophically minded.

After studying maths at A-Level over 10 years ago, I took an academic break to focus on my music career but started and continue to tutor KS2-KS4 students. Maths and music are linked in more ways than we can imagine, and I'm especially capable of getting students to either reconnect with maths or learn to love it, as they do music.

I have 9 years KS2-KS4 private teaching experience and enjoy working with both adults and children. I first realised I loved tutoring in sixth form, helping several of my fellow students through their A-Levels.

When I was young, I moved around a lot, going to schools in Thailand, Singapore and China. I experienced very different approaches to teaching maths, especially in China. This was really challenging and I was lucky that my Dad, who was an engineer and mathematician, spent a lot of time tutoring me, helping me tie in all these different approaches into one strong foundation.

When we moved back to England, I found I had a knack for quickly understanding the root of a student's struggle at a conceptual level, rather than at surface level. I continued tutoring adults and children alongside my music career before more recently formalising my education with a degree. When I finish my degree I will teach Maths in school.

In maths, there are a million different ways of saying the same thing, the trick is to find a way which not only makes sense to the student, but is appealing to them - this is what I do best!
