Dawn

I have a friendly and relaxed teaching manner and like to inject some humour to break down barriers. I am one of those unusual people who love maths and enjoy the creative challenge of teaching. It gives me great pleasure to help students overcome their fears and achieve what they consider impossible. I have a degree in maths and a PGCE. I have an up-to-date CRB check.

Here's what a couple of my students had to say about me:

GCSE Testimonial
"Dawn helped my son with his GCSE Maths. My son has always struggled with maths especially with his confidence and understanding in it but Dawn taught my son in a way that he did understand and his confidence grew each time he went. She explained questions step by step and showed my son different ways on how to work questions out. Dawn was very patient and understanding and in a short period of time my son has come on leaps and bounds. So thank you Dawn for everything you have done in helping my son be more confident in maths and we would highly recommend you to anyone who is looking for a maths tutor"

A Level Testimonial
"I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Dawn as Removed tutor. She was fully prepared for each session and explained the concepts in a way my daughter understood. She also went through plenty of examples and practise questions, all of which helped my daughter to achieve the A level grade she needed for her first choice university."

Tutoring Experience

I am a dedicated and patient teacher with over 10 years experience in schools and colleges. I have been working as a successful and popular personal tutor since Jan 2009. I taught in Primary schools for about 6 years and then taught adults Adult Numeracy in a college for 4 years.

Tutoring Approach

I start by checking that the basics are in place and discussing with the student and parent, if applicable, what topics they would like to work on. Then I plan creative, practical and interactive activities tailored to help students learn and develop confidence. I explain and demonstrate principles and techniques clearly and simply, breaking them into small steps enabling students to enjoy success quickly and rapidly. I also help students effectively prepare for exams embedding revision into lessons and homework. I love to see my students achieve their goals and overcome their fears.

Not only do I teach the knowledge and skills required to master maths topics but I also teach students how to learn as efficiently as possible, how to make notes and plan revision to ensure they consolidate and retain all that they learn.
