I find that it is very important to create an environment in which the student is comfortable expressing themselves freely and enjoying their learning. This creates a solid platform for a deeper and more creative approach to the subject and learning generally. Above all, it is beneficial to adapt to the needs of each individual student to help them reach their particular goals, both subject-related and in other ways, such as confidence or anything else that they may be.

Current and former maths students range from Year 1 up to university level and I also have a broad range of general experience – see about me.

I enjoy teaching students at a range of abilities, from those struggling with number bonds and times tables at primary level, to those taking GCSE and A level maths or further maths. I am also well-placed to help adult-learners with maths aptitude tests. I have extensive experience in teaching primary maths and this experience working towards understanding and intuition for the fundamentals of maths also means that I am able to ensure that students at later levels have solid mathematical foundations in place.

In my teaching I emphasise general approaches such as developing pattern spotting; how best to interpret, understand and solve worded questions; how working can be used to best effect and other such techniques.

The areas of maths that I particularly specialise in include:

• all forms of confidence boosting in maths
• all school level maths from Year 1 to Year 13
  • Year 1 to Year 5
  • 11+ and Year 6
  • 12+
  • 13+
  • 14+ and 15+
  • 16+
  • A level
• maths competitions: Primary Junior Intermediate Senior Maths Challenge and Olympiad (UKMT and similar)
• Eton King’s Scholarship, Westminster Challenge and other 13+ scholarship exams
• 16+ entrance exams
• aptitude tests such as GMAT
