My first career was as an IT consultant working in The City and in Local Authorities. I had a working life change 18 years ago when I decided to do something more person based than desk based. I decided to use my Maths skills in schools and am currently working at a Tottenham Secondary as a Maths Academic Mentor.
I am very reliable, flexible to your childs learning style with an open mind and a non judgemental attitude.
Teaching Experience:
I spend my time at school in identifying students who are not working at their potential levels in Maths. I work across all the years, but specifically Year 11.
Once identified, I work with students in class, one to one, or with small groups and also afterschool. The majority of students in my group will be around the grade D/C borderline and my job is to take them that one step forwards to a secure grade C and then onwards to higher grades. However, I can help your child Improve at any level including grade 8
This is what I do everyday and over the years I have built a very firm understanding of the aspects of Maths and the specific topics which cause students to lose marks.
Tutoring Approach:
It's important to build relations with students, to promote confidence and encourage independent learning.
This takes time, but once I identify the areas of difficulty for the student. I can target those areas (Fractions, Factorising, Percentages for example) and along with the major 12 topics of Maths which contain the 'must get' marks, I can help your child to make weekly progress by teaching, practising and then testing, to check their learning is progressing.
By the way - its just a few months untill the GCSE exams! Let's get learning.
