I have around 30 years experience teaching maths at all levels from primary to A level. I love working one-to-one with students and seeing their progress, as well as helping them to achieve the grade they need to progress on their chosen path. I am very patient, and make the student feel at ease.

I am also a trained hypnotherapist and can help with anxieties around learning and taking exams. I have 3 grown up sons.

Tutoring Experience

I have around 30 years experience teaching maths at all levels in Secondary and Further education. I specialise in preparing for GCSE and A level exams, and have also helped with KS2 SATS, entrance exams and skills tests. I was also an A level examiner for several years.

Tutoring Approach

I offer a friendly, supportive environment for learning. I am very good at explaining concepts and building confidence in using maths and applying it to situations. I focus on the exam being taken and give lots of exam coaching. I have a very good success rate with tutees, increasing marks by up to 3 grades.

I prefer to see students in my own home, but can also visit tutees in their homes. An additional charge is made for this depending on distance travelled, as I charge for the extra time taken.

I am available to work with children being home-educated and offer a support and advice service for parents who have chosen this route.

I have terms and conditions that apply to cancellations and missed sessions. Please request these if you wish to view them ahead of purchase. Upon purchase I will supply the contract.
