Personal Description:

I am an experienced teacher and have now retired. I have done a lot of private tutoring in Australia and enjoy helping on a one to one basis. I am prepared to drive to your home or else tutor you at mine. I am very up to date with NCEA levels 1,2 and 3 and have taught the calculus and statistics courses at year 13. I have just returned to NZ after living in Australia managing a holiday resort.

Tutoring Experience:

I have taught mathematics for nearly 30 years. I have been an assistant Head of Mathematics and a Head of Mathematics in several schools. I have marked external exam papers and have written courses for mathematics departments.

Tutoring Approach:

I work on a one to one basis. With older students I get them to bring me their problems from class. With younger students I go over the work that they are currently studying in class. Often I find an area that has not been understood in the past and I am able to go back over these topics. As maths is very sequential it is important to understand past concepts to be able to manage current ones.
Some students find it hard to follow work in the classroom because of other disruptions. I am able to help and give them to manage in thses environments.
