Carsten

Hello, my name is Carsten! I am a maths tutor with 11 years experience currently working at Morpeth Secondary School since September 2013. I am passionate about tutoring maths to young people to make it easy to understand and would like to start private tutoring students this year having dedicated my time exclusively to my current secondary school since I graduated.

Tutoring Experience

I have had the privilege of tutoring hundreds of students over the past 11 years, of all abilities and needs, ranging from Year 7 students adjusting to the demands of secondary school to Year 11 students preparing for their maths GCSE.

With regards to GCSEs, I specialise in the Edexcel spec but would be happy to adapt and support in whatever spec students are following at their school.

I tutor both Foundation and Higher level students and run through a mixture of tailored worksheets and exam questions to ensure students build confidence and ultimately exam success. I am always happy to go through any areas students are finding hard in class and I set and mark work accordingly.

Tutoring Approach

I am a very patient and flexible tutor, instinctively understanding where a student is on a lesson by lesson basis and adapting accordingly so their motivation levels throughout the year are as high and consistent as can be.

Above all I believe there is nothing like a silly question or an unusual way that a person can solve problems. I believe success is ultimately created by confidence and students come away from sessions feeling a sense of achievement that they often use to motivate themselves further in lessons at school or by studying independently at home.
