Functional Skills Maths & English (Entry–Level 2) — SEND-Aware, Results-Focused

From 57.65 C$ /h

Struggling with core Maths or English—or just need a clear path to Level 1/Level 2 Functional Skills? This 1:1 class is a practical, confidence-building programme tailored to your goals. I specialise in adult learners and teens (SEND-aware) and use diagnostics to build a plan that closes gaps fast.

What you’ll learn (Maths): number, decimals/fractions/percentages, ratio & proportion, measures, perimeter/area/volume, data & charts, word-problem strategies, calculator efficiency.
What you’ll learn (English): reading for purpose, skimming/scanning, finding evidence, planning & structuring writing, SPaG, formal vs informal tone, functional communication.
How we work: short diagnostic → personalised ILP → targeted mini-lessons → guided practice → marked feedback with next steps. I use retrieval practice, exam-style tasks, and simple templates so you know exactly how to improve.
Accessibility (SEND): calm, structured sessions using visuals, Now & Next, chunking, and (if useful) Read&Write, Immersive Reader, mind-mapping, dictation. I’m experienced with ASD/ADHD/SpLD support.
Outcomes: stronger skills for work/study, improved mock scores, and readiness for the Functional Skills assessments.

Martial Arts Awareness & Fitness Conditioning (Kickboxing • Mobility • Breathwork)

67.25 C$ /h

Build confidence, conditioning, and practical skills through a structured blend of kickboxing fundamentals, martial arts awareness, and strength & mobility work. Each session follows a simple flow: warm-up & mobility → stance/footwork → striking mechanics (jab, cross, hook, kick) → padwork & timing drills → conditioning & core → breathwork & cooldown. You’ll learn safe technique, distance control, simple combinations, awareness and de-escalation principles, posture & core stability, and recovery strategies you can use outside the gym. Sessions are supportive, SEND-aware, and scalable—low-impact options for beginners and progressions for improvers.

The Apefoo Philosophy (Mind • Body • Soul)

Mind (Composure): Train focus before force—breath-led resets, clear cues, and “one change at a time.” We build calm under pressure and decision-making you can take into daily life.

Body (Capability): Technique > power. We groove efficient movement, joint-friendly mechanics, and longevity through mobility and smart progressions.

Soul (Character): Respect, humility, and responsibility. We practice a low-ego, inclusive culture—pace yourself, look after partners, leave better than you arrived.

Awareness First: Self-protection begins with avoidance, de-escalation, and exit. Striking is a skill; judgment is the art.

Simple Systems, Real Progress: Short, repeatable drills; measurable wins each month (skills, conditioning, mobility, mindset).

Sustainable Training: No fads—just fundamentals you can keep. Sleep, hydration, and recovery are part of the curriculum.

Accessible & Supportive: Clear instructions, visuals/Now-&-Next when helpful, and options for different abilities and comfort levels.

Who it’s for: Beginners to improvers seeking confidence, fitness, and practical skills in a friendly, structured environment.

Outcomes: Safer, sharper striking mechanics; better conditioning and core; improved mobility and posture; calmer breathing under effort; and a clear progression plan you can track.

KS3 and GCSEs are hard! Students are studying for many different subjects with hardly enough time to spare to go over concepts they don't understand. As someone who has done both GCSE and A-Level Maths, I can attest to how tough it seems when you just can't figure out a topic, which is why I'm here to help! I have previous experience in tutoring and got an A in Maths at A-Level, and am confident we can work through any problems together.

Hi ,
my name is Rupinder and I love to teach Maths and Computer Science Programming!

I have been a tutor from my College days and was teaching my juniors Mathematics side by side.
I've learnt a lot about learning in the process. I focus on teaching maths intuitively, introducing basic concepts from scratch. This allows students to spend less time memorising and more time actually doing maths!

How do I do it? By making maths fun! Solving problems, especially hard ones, is extremely rewarding and I focus on getting my students to understand and even enjoy problem solving. I have taken many students now from C's up to A's and even A*s with this methodology

I have done double masters , One in Mathematics and other in Computer Science, both passed with distinction securing more than 75% and worked as a lecturer in Mathematics for One year, and moved to software development after my second masters, and working as software developer from last 10 years, and during my tenure as a software developer I have trained and tutored many students to in this field as well. I have helped a few students to secure there first job by clearing there fundamentals in programming.

I look forward to hearing from you soon
