Personalised Course for GCSE Higher Tier and A Level Maths with Revision and Exam Technique
From 61.27 C$ /h
Maths is a subject that can be hard to get a the grade you are actually capable of. To achieve the top grades you can't just rely on hard work and memorising methods - a deep level of understanding is fundamental as in your exam you will find questions that you have never seen before.
Years of teaching and tuition have shown me that a bright student can study as much as possible but still get a grade or two less than what was hoped for. By focusing on understanding the concepts behind the more challenging topics, this allows you to problem solve on the spot. If you really understand everything and have good exam technique such as unravelling worded/problem solving questions you will get your desired grade or better.
Over the years I have developed a style of teaching that allows me to break down the most difficult problems to their foundations and show how the things they already know fit together to solve these challenging problems.
The fact that I am currently tutoring a student who was in set 4 last year and is now consistently getting 9s on past papers is one of many examples of what you can expect from my lessons. I also teach a year 8 student A level Maths, he is very bright but not top set.
I cater my lessons to my students by being aware of weak spots, strengths and knowing exactly what level they are working at and how to get them to where they want to be.
I have countless success stories and testimonials which I would be happy to provide.

Describing one's self is always a difficult task but I can be certain about how my students and their parents/guardians would describe me. From my work it is clear that I am patient, very approachable, that I build productive relationships with students of all ages and I produce results.
I always get thanks from parents and students alike. I am very professional, keep in regular contact with my clients and they know I can be relied upon to consistently provide great lessons that the students enjoy.
Regarding tutoring and teaching, I think I have shown over the last five years that I have a natural talent for it with a particular style that has been churning out great results for years.

Experience / Qualifications
In numbers, I have 1000s hours of tutoring experience. This coupled with the fact I have 5 A levels, a degree in Economics, a masters in Finance and over two years experience teaching in schools has produced amazing results over the last 5 years.
In between my BSc and MSc courses I spent a year in Barcelona working as a full-time English teacher. Additionally, I spent every July and August working in an urban summer camp with a view to improving the children's English via games and other creative methods.
After completing my MSc, by which point I was already tutoring professionally, it had become clear that I wanted to teach. My father is a professor and both my mother and fiancee are teachers -surely not a coincidence.
I therefore started a PGCE secondary school Maths course and ten months later I was a qualified teacher with a job that started in July 2019. I loved teaching but soon realised that teaching in itself was about 20% of the job.
Consequently, I gave my notice and from the contacts I had made over the years, began to develop a network of clients (primarily though word of mouth) and decided on a career in tutoring. With 5 A levels, being native in Spanish and both depth and breadth in my experience all behind me I was able to quickly expand my network. Within a month I had over 20 students.
