Laura

I have a first class degree in maths from Birmingham University and I have been working in the actuarial profession for 8 years qualifying as an Actuary 3 years ago. I myself suffered from maths anxiety at school and private tutoring helped me to overcome this and to go on to develop a love for the subject. I would like to help other students to overcome any difficulties or stresses that they have with maths like I once did so that they get a head start.

Tutoring Experience

I have an extensive maths background both professionally and academically and I have been tutoring students for half a year.

Tutoring Approach

I am on a personal mission to share my passion for maths with my students and to challenge and engage with them so that they thrive in this subject. I try to understand each student individually and tailor my teaching methods accordingly. I think it is important that students understand what they are doing rather than just trying to memorize how to solve the problem. To get a better understanding of maths requires making mistakes and learning from them and of course lots of practice which is an important aspect of all my lessons.
