Personal Description:
Hi, I'm Aoife and I am a part-time maths tutor. I have been giving grinds for 6 years and last year I spent a year as a classroom teacher. My interest in tutoring began while I was completing my Bachelors, as Maths (or Theoretical Physics specifically) is often taught in a specific, lecture-style way that is often not suited to all students. I truly enjoy working with my students & adapting different topics to their learning styles.
Tutoring Experience:
I have been tutoring students for 6 years now, and have had approximately 70 students over the years. I mainly work with students from secondary schools (to Leaving Cert) but I have had some primary school students in the past.
I hold a Postgraduate Certificate in Educational Studies & worked as a teacher in 2020-2021. Outside of teaching full JC classes in the school I led learning support sessions for students who needed some extra help - either due to significant knowledge gaps or additional needs that lead to some extra support being needed.
I have also worked with various outreach programmes as a facilitator, such as Quavers to Quadratics, which were run as a partnership between the National Concert Hall in Dublin & TCD. These involved planning of materials, workshops, & visiting classrooms in various schools.
Approach to Grinds:
When it comes to Maths, any knowledge gap compounds over time & can lead to students feeling behind and lacking confidence in the subject. My approach is to encourage & support students by leading them through the course at a pace that suits them (and making sure that we tackle those problem topics in detail). I especially enjoy working with students who lack confidence and need the initial support to help them work towards their goals.
I also like to ensure that students understand the importance of consistent work rather than doing a high volume of work in a short space of time. I believe that there is often the issue that students don't know how or what to study. I work with my students to develop detailed study plans during the run up to exams & help them to begin feeling confident in making their own plans.

Aoife was very flexible in arranging a time that suited us for the lesson. As our son is a student of a gaelcholàiste, having a tutor who has experience of teaching maths through Irish is proving invaluable for him. Would highly recommend Aoife.
