Advert description
I have 20 years experience of classroom teaching and private maths tutoring (both in-person and remotely) with the main age range here being from 8 to 18 (ie KS3, GCSE and A Level).
I do the maths tuition because I enjoy seeing students achieve what they once thought was impossible and beyond them. I like passing on the enthusiasm and to translate that enthusiasm for the subject into tangible achievement. This makes it all worthwhile.
I have generally found that tutoring results in a boost of 2 grades for those who do tuition specifically aimed at exams.
Being retired I can often be available at odd times that fit in with school schedules.
My tutoring services always include:
- Notes, annotations etc. that are then sent to the student after the tutorial
- Setting of a modest amount of homework which I review before the next lesson and identify areas that need attention. Typically this review takes up as much time as the lesson itself and is included in the charge for the lesson.
- at the appropriate time(s) to set and mark exam papers
I would sum up my approach as learning has to be fun & relevant. Everything looks easy when you watch someone else do it; in my lessons I check that the student understands the concept(s) and is able to demonstrate this live in the lesson before assigning appropriate out-of-lesson work to consolidate this.
