Dajana

I’m a fully qualified Mathematics teacher with QTS and have thorough subject and exam knowledge. I have a BSc (Hons) in Mathematics and and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) from Sunderland University. I have a few years of teaching experience both at classroom level and 1-2-1 tutoring. I’m friendly, easy going and get excellent results through building good relationships with my students.

I have a huge passion for teaching and find it most rewarding to see children progress and excel under my guidance.

I wаnt аll students tо hаve the оppоrtunity tо аchieve аnd I hаve prоfessiоnаlly develоped tо be better plаced tо deliver high quаlity educаtiоn tо all children under my guidance.

The sessions I run are specifically designed for each individual student. This considers the level they are currently working at, target grade, their areas for development and preferred learning style.

I am flexible, hardworking and enthusiastic teacher who enjoys working with students and parents to explore their best way of learning. I have taught all different year groups with mixed ability students and believe understanding students’ individuality is the key to challenge and stretch the most able students, as well as supporting those students who need guidance and support to overcome any leaning barriers.

Tutoring Experience

I hаve а trаck recоrd оf success аnd delivering results thrоugh privаte tutоring аnd аt clаssrооm level. I hаve significаnt, lоng-term experience аt levels frоm KS3, GCSE & A-LEVEL. I hаve enаbled students tо mаximise their оutcоmes аt аll оf these аssessment levels. 

Tutoring Approach

What to Expect From My Lessons

1) I strongly believe that one of the important factоrs for a great tutoring lesson lies in the ability tо chаnge my teaching approach according to each student's needs and requirements.

2) When possible, I aim to provide practical and real-world examples to explain concepts across various maths topics.

3) I guide my students towards obtaining correct solutions with a series of questioning strategies to help them enhance their problem thinking skills and increase their independence.

4) When possible, I like tailoring the lessons to the interests and future goals of each student in order to make maths more relevant and enjoyable to learn.

5) For GCSE and A level students, I like to encourage students to work through exam questions as early as possible so that they are less overwhelmed with them nearer to exam time. Also, I enjoy providing students with more efficient methods of doing exam questions to help them save time during time-pressured exams.

6) Finally, I sometimes like to ask students to teach back what I taught them which helps them to improve their mathematical communication skills whilst also serving as a useful revision tool.
