Online Maths tuition from a qualified Maths Teacher

I have been a private maths tutor in Wokingham for 4 years and recently moved to online sessions because of the current pandemic. 

In my sessions with students I will not go ahead of school lessons unless specifically requested. I firstly provide consolidation for the work students complete in class. I will then extend and develop their learning through problem solving questions, usually based around the same topic they are currently learning.

If a student is revising for exams then we will do some papers together and focus on exam technique and how to gain the most marks from a mark scheme.

I have always enjoyed Mathematics so, after studying my A Levels, I decided to study the subject at the University of Southampton where I received a First in my Degree and won an award for finishing top in my class in operational research.  Growing up I always wanted to be a teacher, which is why after my degree I decided to train at the University of Reading for my PGCE. I then got my first job at a local school in Wokingham where I taught GCSE and A Level Mathematics for 7 years. During this time, I taught KS3, GCSE, A Level Mathematics, Further Maths and Statistics.
 

Having worked as a secondary teacher in a local school for seven years I fully understand the GCSE curriculum and how it is becoming more competitive than ever for pupils to get higher grades. The new style grade boundaries mean that a small boost of a few marks can make a big difference to a student’s final grade.  As Key stage 4 coordinator I spent time investigating this curriculum to write Schemes of work for the change to the new exams. 

During my time as a teacher I also acted as 'primary maths coordinator' for a number of years and ran multiple events for primary pupils from years 3 to 6.

I have been an examiner for multiple exam boards at both GCSE and A level.
