I am a primary school teacher and cover all the subject areas within the Curriculum for Excellence. My speciality is in tutoring maths due to my love of the subject as well as a desire to ensure children gain confidence in their maths skills and abilities. My goal is to challenge and extend children with their education as well as recognise and support any gaps in their learning. As children all have individual learning styles, I will work to guarantee that children find enjoyment in their learning. I will meet each child's needs, ensuring they are treated as individuals.

About Me
My number one goal is for children to enjoy learning. From my experience as a class teacher, I am aware that there are children who can have barriers to their learning based on additional support needs or even a lack of confidence. My aim is to support every child achieve their own learning goals.
I have taught, mostly in the upper primary stages, for the past 5 years. I teach all subjects within the CfE, however, I especially enjoy teaching maths and making maths fun for all. This is a subject that children seem to love or hate and this seems to happen around P4. My goal is to let children know that everyone can do well in maths, some of us just learn differently and it is about recognising how your child learns and supporting them this way.

I have 10 years unbroken experience teaching Maths and social sciences to high school students. Since greater proportion of the students population at the colleges are struggling in their performance in maths, I am passionate about teaching maths only for now so as to help as much maths students as possible. I make my first tutorial class to develop rapport with a prospective maths student and to enable me identify the areas they need improvement in their performance. The first half of my tuition starts with the fundamental principles of mathematics, showing the students various clues and hints to use in answering maths questions. Special reference is made to acceptable standard marking scheme so the student can understand each topic better and develop more affection for solving mathematical problems. At the second half of my teaching, several examples are worked together with the student, ensuring that the student is fully engaged in the exercises, assimilating the concepts and contributing meaningfully. At the end of the second half of the tutorial, a lot of exercises are given to students as take-home assignments.

The submitted assignments are reviewed, scored before the next appointment and corrections made one-to-one with the student next tutorial session. The topics covered are not limited to the core concentration like algebra, trigonometry, calculus, statistics to mention a few, they extend to elementary maths. If the gap in understanding a topic is much, elementary maths is revised with the student prior to teaching any of the core maths topics.
