Personal Description:

I am an experienced and enthusiastic High School Mathematics Teacher. I am student oriented and work hard to make a real difference to my student’s Mathematics achievement.

I have made positive contributions to students’ university entrance results by helping them achieve higher scores in their Mathematics courses than their scores in other subjects.

I have demonstrated skills in catering to diverse student needs by developing programmes tailored to the different academic and social requirements of students. For example, for students in my high ability years 8, 9 and 10 classes I focus on ensuring that they acquire the skills necessary to succeed in senior school university pathway Mathematics courses. On the other hand, for those students who find Mathematics more challenging, I work towards developing their ability to succeed in senior school vocational Mathematics courses.

I have wide ranging experience of working with students for whom English is an additional language. I have taught classes entirely comprised of these students. In these cases, my teaching focuses on carefully articulating the meaning of English words and their underlying concepts in the context of the problems being solved.

My maturity and life experience in careers other than teaching give me a first-rate insight into the skills that young people need to succeed in the modern world.

I have high expectations for all students. I routinely reflect on my teaching and its effect on student learning, modifying my approach in the light of changing circumstances.

Tuition Experience:

8 years teaching high school mathematics to years 7 through 12.

Tutoring Approach:

Mathematics can be a challenging subject for many students. I believe that every child has unique learning needs and for this reason I focus on taking students back to a level with which they are comfortable and then filling in the gaps from there. This leads to improvement and success and with success comes renewed confidence in the ability to tackle more difficult mathematical concepts and problems.

Using visual, animated, practical and interactive technology-based tools, I show students how Mathematics applies to them in their world. By asking students probing questions, rather than simply showing them how to answer the question, I help students develop their own problem-solving skills. This leads to independence and greater confidence in their abilities. With increased confidence comes improvement and success.

I have been teaching high school Mathematics for many years and have provided tutoring services to my students as part of my support for their learning. I have taught all levels of Mathematics, from years 7 to 12, and have deep experience with university pathway Mathematics.

I provide purely online services. As a result, I am available at any time that students find helpful and physical location is not significant.

It is important to understand that you can learn a lot of maths in a very short period of time. It doesn’t matter where you start, you can get to where you want or need to be.

I’m confident that I can help you achieve your goals.
