Private Maths Tutor in Streatham

I am a full-time qualified maths teacher, with a TEFL and 8 years experience teaching maths in the classroom as well as more than 13 years teaching in other settings.
I am genuine and enthusiastic, and believe that with practice and a growth mindset, any pupil can be good at maths.
For the first 4 years of my teaching career I worked in schools with a challenging demographic so pride myself on being able to inspire even the most disinterested young people to work. I am now the Head of Mathematics at a successful prep school in South London, but moving to be Assistant Associate Headteacher and Head of Maths in a Secondary and Sixth form in September 2023.
I tutor online but I am DBS-checked and able to travel to you at a higher rate on request.

Tutoring Experience

I am currently the Head of Mathematics at a Prep school for Year 4 to Year 8 in South London, but have taught up to A-Level across the state and private sectors.
I have tutored and worked with various young people for nearly ten years: teaching English as a foreign language in summer schools and teaching primary, secondary, and A-level maths.
My pupils have achieved excellent results- from some of my GCSE class gaining grade 9 to 11+ students receiving academic scholarships.

Tutoring Approach

I like to work back to the root of a pupil's misunderstanding and build up a confidence and genuine understanding of mathematics in order to promote long term retention of knowledge and enjoyment of the subject.
I teach according to current pedagogical theories in order to maximise a mastery of mathematics rather than a basic process based learning.
I am a fan of discussion, technical language and curiosity in learning. I will often add in elements of the History of Maths too.

I have the latest text books, exam papers and resources to teach as this is my full-time occupation.
