Full time maths teacher, 2ic and further maths lead at a high performing secondary school. Over 10 years experience of tutoring. Have worked with over 50 students on a one-one basis with a wide range of abilities/exam boards/needs. Examiner for Cambridge International IGCSE/A Level/Additional Maths papers. Marked over 3,000 scripts and involved each year in writing the mark scheme for the 9709 A Level paper 3.

I graduated in 2014 with a Masters in Civil Engineering from University of Bristol and then worked for 3 years for Arup, an engineering and design firm in London. Since then I have combined tutoring part-time with working on various projects that advocate for migrant rights. I completed my teacher training in 2021 and currently work at a high performing state school as a full-time maths teacher and 2iC (second in charge for the maths department). I also lead the further maths programme. I absolutely love maths and would value the opportunity to help students to build their confidence with the subject and excel in their exams or school work.

Tutoring Experience

I am a full-time maths teacher and 2ic at a high-performing state secondary school. I also lead the further maths programme. I have over 10 years experience of tutoring and have worked with students from a wide range of abilities/exam boards/needs. I am also a fully qualified examiner for Cambridge International IGCSE/Additional Maths/A Level Maths papers. I have marked over 4,000 scripts and am involved each year in writing the A Level mark scheme (9709/32). I have a strong grasp of how exams are marked and what students need to do to maximise the marks they receive.

I have supported my students to go on to succeed with their exams or school work but more importantly to gain a deeper understanding, confidence and enjoyment of the subject.

Tutoring Approach

I am adaptable to each student's needs and have a calm and friendly but hard-working approach to tutoring. I have learnt through first hand experience just how differently every student learns and always adapt my approach accordingly. I have worked with children with Aspergers and other forms of Autism, students with Dyslexia, Dyscalculia, students who have fallen well behind and students who are excelling and want to get 100% rather than 90% in their exams. In my opinion maths is one of the most important academic skills students take from the education system. A strong GCSE or A Level in the subject paired with a deep confidence to apply maths to real world situations is essential to a vast range of jobs and life experiences. I aim to help students develop the skills they need to attain this.
