I am able to tutor on all aspect of mathematics up to A level, including Level 3 Core Maths, GCSE Statistics and GCSE Further Mathematics. I am most familiar with the Edexcel, AQA and OCR syllabi but also have experience with WJEC, MEI and SQA specifications. I also have experience of tutoring younger students in preparation for the Mathematics and Non-verbal Reasoning elements of the 11+ entrance exams.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is very flexible, focussing on the students needs and learning style. If the student wishes to focus on a particular topic, move at a certain pace, or adjust the frequency or length of their lessons throughtout the year, this can all be accommodated.

Tuition is provided via Skype. I am able to mirror my iPad screen so that students can clearly see what I am writing as well as hear what I am saying, allowing students to work in a very familiar environment after the COVID pandemic.
