Stuart

I am a retired secondary maths teacher and Deputy Head who taught in secondary schools across South Yorkshire for many years, and more recently was a maths education PGCE tutor at Sheffield Hallam University and TeachFirst.

Tutoring Experience

I have taught mathematics and IT as a head of maths in 3 different secondary schools, most recently for 24 years at Kingstone School, Barnsley (now Horizon College). More recently, I am a part time maths education tutor on the PGCE Maths course at Sheffield Hallam University and TeachFirst. I have previously done Maths A level and GCSE personal tutoring.

Reinforcing Effort/Providing Recognition. ...
