I am a maths specialist, fully qualified primary school teacher.
I was graded 'outstanding' when I received my Qualified Teacher Status and continued to receive that grading in further lesson observations.
I have over 9 years of teaching and tutoring experience.
When I was a teacher, I trained as a maths specialist and it remains a passion of mine. Sadly, it is often the case that schools do not provide enough support to make sure every child has grasped a concept and will then move on, leaving some children confused. If this is not addressed, children start to lose their confidence and label themselves ‘bad at maths’. It is my firm belief that nobody is inherently ‘bad at maths’, but that concepts have not been taught to them in the right way for them.
When I work with a child on maths, I go right back to basics to uncover the early misconceptions that are holding them back in school. We work together at the child’s own pace to clear these up using concrete, pictorial and abstract resources. Through doing this, my pupils quickly become much more confident in their own ability and much more able to tackle and succeed in the maths they are learning at school.
I am dedicated to helping every child achieve their full potential. I do this by creating personalised lessons to suit the specific needs of each child. I continually assess each pupil in a calm, low pressure environment to ensure they are making maximal progress. I also provide written feedback weekly keep you informed of your child's strengths and areas for development to help you best support your child.
