Personal Description: Willing to work with pupils up to Higher grade. Am thorough and hard working and will expect the same of pupils. I will keep parents informed as to the progress of their child and will advise whether they can expect a successful outcome. I am patient and understanding and will work to maintain a pleasant working atmosphere and to build confidence in the child. I believe problems with maths often arise from misunderstanding earlier concepts and will try to correct any misconceptions. I have three children of my own and know how important it is to parents to support their child in achieving the best that they can.

Tutoring Experience: I am currently a teacher and have taught maths up to Higher level since 1992. My department is considered to be very successful in exam statistics.

Tutoring Approach: I will begin by asking the child to bring work from school to allow me to assess their current level. Most teachers are happy to provide this. I will then set the child some work appropriate to their level to see how they approach this.
I will not work ahead of the class teacher as I do not believe that to be beneficial to the child. Dependant upon the level, I will teach appropriate points, set work to be done for the next session ( not too much as this is counterproductive) and assist the child with anything that he/she feels is required. I will expect the child to have prepared the work I set.
