Engaging Maths tutor

I am an enthusiastic Maths tutor with a passion for helping others develop the same enjoyment of the subject that I have.Having achieved a 1st class honours degree in Maths from the University of Exeter, I then went on to teach A-level (and some GCSE) Maths at Truro & Penwith college.

Experienced and effective Maths Tutor

I am an experienced tutor and have been working in Somerset for the last fifteen years. In the past I have tutored students who cannot access full-time education for different reasons (health, mobility, faith and behavioural, for example) and always try to tailor my tuition to the individual's needs.I have worked as an examiner for both A level (chemistry), GCSE (sciences) and SATS (maths) so this means I am able not only to tutor the subject but also improve examination technique. Mathematics and all three sciences can be covered at GCSE in any combination and I have gained a sound working knowledge...

Making Primary Maths fun

I am a fully qualified, retired primary school teacher with a passion for Maths, Science and Technology. I began my BA.Hons degree and teacher training as a mature student In Cardiff.

Successful, experienced and fun Maths teacher

I have been teaching to a wide range of student abilities for over 30 years. I have had considerable success with many ex-chemistry students who are now doctors, nurses, teachers etc. My teaching style depends on the individual.I really think that the student being able to teach me a topic ensures that their understanding is good. Most students are visual learners so I use diagrams a lot in my explanations. I know what examiners are looking for and have gone through many mark schemes with boards like Edexcel, AQA and Cambridge to make sure I understand what can and cannot be put down as an answer....
