Leon

An engineer and mathematician of 48 years who enjoys many pursuits, both sporting and cultural. I have a young family of my own and believe that teaching should engage and stimulate children in order for them to successfully access subject material.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught in secondary education for the past 15 years, teaching all year groups from Year 7 through to Year 13. I have extensive knowledge at GCSE and A-level and have taught both further and applied mathematics. Having been an engineer previously, I feel that I can make relevant connections between the work studied and real-life appliications. All my exam groups to date have achieved above expectations and I have consistently produced positive value added scores.

Tutoring Approach

I believe in breaking down each topic down into simple dijestable chunks with clear methods set out to enable pupils to access the content. Further I like to make simple, relevant connections between topics and where relevant applications to every day life. This approach has proved successful and I have tutored several students who have returned for help at further stages in their education.
