I find Mathematics inquisitive, interesting, useful, and enjoyable both for pupils and teachers. Throughout my time of teaching Mathematics my appreciation of the subject has deepened. I strive to instil in my students a joy for learning and desire to do their best, and have exulted when they made progress, grasped skills, or simply enjoyed their learning.
I am an enthusiastic person, and I am an effective team worker and I consider myself to be a hardworking individual who likes to complete tasks to a high standard and I expect the same from others. I am a competent, highly motivated individual and I believe that I have the passion, aptitude, patience and commitment to the profession.

Tutoring Experience

During my Induction Year (1999 - 2000) I worked as part of a team to develop Y7 scheme of work in accordance to the new National Numeracy Strategy. This work was supported by the Educational Action Zone. I produced my own worksheets, homework-sheets, revision-sheets etc. I taught NC Mathematics to year 7-11.
In the first six years I worked as a Mathematics teacher and my appreciation of the subject deepened. I was appointed as second in the department in 2003.
I took up the responsibility of leading KS4 in the department. Since 2009 I started teaching A-Level and Managing KS5. I find Mathematics inquisitive, interesting, useful, and enjoyable both for pupils and teachers. These years have constituted a considerable amount of challenge for me, which have been fulfilling, enjoyable, and rewarding.
I played a key role for the year 11 excellent results in July 2015. I taught Mathematics at KS3 and 4. The department paid particular attention to the students’ engagement and following up their progress. This is evident from School’s February 2014 Ofsted report.
As second in the department in 2016. During that short period of time I developed End of Topic Assessments. I was responsible for KS3 data, assessments and mentoring NQTs.
I have always provided an open door to all my students. I have organised an after school evening for extra tuition for my year 11s.

Tutoring Approach

I have explained this together with my experience in the past 23 years of teaching in the secondary schools.
During pandemic online tutoring became the form and have been part of that and was approached by parents for private tuitions.
