Steven

I am an experienced and successful teacher of Mathematics with a proven track record, I offer private tuition to students in Mathematics.
I have a gentle and supportive personality and strive to create confidence in the mathematics students I teach.
Nearly all of my lesson observations have been graded outstanding including feedback I have obtained from OFSTED lesson observations in the last decade.
I have taught Mathematics almost exclusively in the post-16 sector mostly A-level Mathematics and Further Mathematics but also GCSE resit courses at both Higher and Foundation level ,also
Functional skills at level 2 in Mathematics.During my career I have mainly taught the 16-19 age group but also adult learners at evening classes as well as Access programmes. I started my career in 1990 and have over 30 years teaching experience.

Tutoring Approach

My teaching style is very supportive and inclusive based on establishing a rapport with my students in whom I strive to develop confidence in the subject.
From the feedback I have received from students, parents and lesson observations, I conclude that students tend to find me approachable, supportive, patient and non-judgemental in my approach.
