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.

Through a blend of comprehensive curriculum coverage, targeted problem-solving techniques, and personalized attention, my class plans to ensure that you build a strong foundation in mathematical concepts while mastering the art of exam technique.

Welcome to the GCSE Mathematics and Science class, where students embark on an exciting journey through the fundamental principles of mathematics and the captivating realms of science. This course is designed to equip students with the essential knowledge and skills required to excel in their GCSE examinations while fostering a deep appreciation for the wonders of mathematics and science in the world around us.

In the Mathematics component of this class, students will delve into the core concepts of algebra, geometry, statistics, and more. Through engaging lessons and interactive problem-solving activities, students will develop their mathematical fluency, problem-solving abilities, and critical thinking skills. Topics covered include equations, graphs, trigonometry, probability, and algebraic manipulation, among others. Emphasis will be placed on applying mathematical techniques to real-world scenarios, ensuring students understand the practical applications of mathematical concepts.

In the Science component, students will explore the three core disciplines: Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. Through hands-on experiments, demonstrations, and multimedia resources, students will investigate key scientific theories, principles, and phenomena. From the intricate workings of cells to the laws governing motion and energy, students will gain a comprehensive understanding of the natural world and the scientific processes underlying it. Topics covered include genetics, atomic structure, forces, energy, and the environment, among others. Students will also develop their scientific inquiry skills, learning how to design experiments, analyze data, and draw evidence-based conclusions.

Throughout the course, students will be encouraged to actively participate in class discussions, collaborate with their peers, and seek support when needed. Regular assessments, quizzes, and homework assignments will provide students with opportunities to consolidate their learning and track their progress. Additionally, individualized support and enrichment activities will be available to ensure that each student has the opportunity to reach their full potential.

By the end of this class, students will not only be well-prepared for their GCSE examinations but will also have developed a lifelong passion for mathematics and science, empowering them to navigate and contribute to an increasingly complex and dynamic world.

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.

Mathematics is a difficult language for so many people but it's very easy to understand for me.
