(1 reviews)

Personal Description:

I am a 21 year old man studying a Mathematics and Mathematics Education Degree at Loughborough University and I am interested in a career in education after University. I am a laid back, easy to get along individual.
I live in Reading when I am not in term time.
I live a live 5 minute outside Loughborough town centre and can easily get to most parts of town.
I have 5 years experience working with children as a lifeguard and also as a 'Camp Leader' at Summer Holiday clubs.
I am DV and DBS cleared.
I achieved ABBB at A level (including an A in maths, B in physics and B in Further Maths).
11 A*-C grades at GCSE (including Maths, English and science).

Tutoring Experience:

Two years full experience as an academic tutor.
Providing support in extra curricular math classes to younger pupils during A-Level.
Participated in a volunteer programme that ran after school sport sessions at local primary school.
Currently work as a mathematics tutor at The East Leake Independent Learning Centre every Wednesday, providing academic support for students from KS3-GCSE.
I currently tutor for two families in Loughborough, gaining the first from First Tutors and the second by word of mouth. I am very polite and very reliable.

Tutoring Approach:

I like to think that I bring a relaxed environment in which problems can be discussed and solved in interactive sessions. I feel that sometimes the best way to learn maths is to talk about it and I am very keen to engage the students in conversations regarding the topic. I myself very much enjoy mathematics and enjoy teaching others. Maths can be tricky and sometimes a very frustrating subject when things aren't going right, and I feel that I can provide clear, concise support in a stress free environment to help the student achieve their academic goals in their own time.
I myself had a maths tutor when I was younger and feel that I benefited hugely from working with someone I felt comfortable around and having the time to process information perhaps in more depth compared to in school.
