Haseeba

I am a fully qualified and highly experienced maths teacher currently working in a secondary school in the Aberdeen area. I have been teaching for over 13 years and worked with thousands of students across many schools with varying backgrounds and academic skills.

I have extensive experience of teaching maths and have up-to-date knowledge of the maths curriculum in Scottish schools because of my role as a maths teacher over the last 13 years and my experience of working with the Scottish Qualifications Authority.

In addition to my years of teaching in the classroom, I have been privately tutoring students for a number of years with consistently excellent results. I have an expert knowledge and understanding of the curriculum due to my years of maths teaching experience. I understand the complex nature of maths needs and can support students in improving their understanding at the pace that works best for them.

Tutoring Experience

Apart from my experience of secondary maths teaching, I have more than 4 years experience of working in primary schools. My Masters degree at Strathclyde University gave me opportunities to work in schools with different needs as part of my training. I have supported varying needs of my students in classroom over the years and this allows me a greater insight into the needs of my tutees. I have been trained to work with students with additional support needs and I know how to support students who find maths concepts abstract and difficult to follow or understand.

Most of my students have greatly benefited from my wealth of teaching experience. I can identify the gaps in knowledge, support with numeracy skills, focus on a particular set of questions to be exam ready and know multiple ways of explaining basic and complex concepts.

I tailor my lessons around the needs of my students and understand the uniqueness of their individual needs. This is why my students have been able to improve their exam results significantly.

Years of teaching experience has enabled me to take students from fail to pass in a matter of months. My experience allows me to ask the right questions to quickly assess and understand my students, select the most appropriate resources and build on what students already know. I can fully support my students in understanding maths better, feeling confident in their ability and knowledge, and feeling equipped to face exams with a sense of calm rather than anxiety.

Tutoring Approach

Maths is perceived as a challenging subject and my aim is to change this perception and welcome maths as something we work with in every day of our lives. Maths is a knowledge-based subject, and sometimes issues arise from some of the key knowledge being missing or not being fully understood by a student. I fully understand this and am patient and understanding in my role when I am supporting my students.

Since I am a teacher who spends my working days in the classroom, I have a deep understanding of common issues that make maths difficult for some children. I aim to create an environment of calmness where we work on understanding concepts at the pace that works for the students. The needs of each student are unique and my aim is to meet those needs. For some, its back to basic numeracy and for others, it is straight to tricky and complex problems. I have been trained in using various assessment methods to spot those needs and then support students accordingly. My work in primary schools and secondary schools has helped me become an efficient tutor as I can support a child at any level, meeting them where they are and progressing from there.

I am approachable for any issues that arise with the work and would keep you informed of progress. I have consistently achieved excellent results with my students. My expert knowledge of the curriculum and ability to impart maths knowledge in an understandable way has helped all of my students over the years.

If you are looking for an experienced teacher to support your child with maths, then I am the right person for you!
