2 years experienced and passionate Maths tutor with over 600 completed lessons

I am a hardworking and passionate maths/physics tutor, and have been tutoring for over 2 years with over 600 completed lessons, soon to start a teaching apprenticeship. My journey started in school, where I once struggled with GCSE English and needed tutoring for myself. My tutor, Ceri, was fantastic, and it was because of her support that I was able to reach my academic targets. After this, during my A-levels I had the opportunity to assist in teaching a GCSE physics and maths class, and so with these two experiences combined, I started to believe that all students can achieve their own targets if they receive the right support for them. I was able to become a tutor in 2024, and have been continuing in this field of work religiously.

My lessons are structured around understanding the student and active recall. Each student has different strengths and weaknesses, and understanding this is vital as it makes sure our limited time together is spent working on the right things. Each lesson includes going through topics/concepts the student is struggling with, example questions from past papers to reinforce the new knowledge, end of lesson quizzes that assesses knowledge from the previous lesson and time allocated to discuss homework for the next lesson, which builds into my second key point of active recall. Most students think completing the homework before the deadline is all they need to do, however, by completing homework on pre-determined days of the week, the student is able to effectively improve their ability to remember the content for the future, thus avoiding revision down the road turning into re-learning.

Feedback from students over the last 2 years has shown that my teaching style, inspired by "The Socratic Method", my custom created worksheets and homework timing schedule has accelerated their development and understanding of a subject far quicker than any lesson completed in school. They find it thought-provoking, simple yet effective in making sure they commit content to long-term memory. As well as this, parents who receive weekly progress reports from me are pleased to quantitatively see results after every lesson, and watch their child hit milestones along the way to the exam season.
