Enthusiastic, qualified maths teacher offering sessions in and around Newcastle, or online.

Experience

Hi! I have a degree in Mathematics and Statistics, and a PGCE qualification, from Newcastle University, as well as three years teaching experience as a qualified Maths teacher (in Good (Ofsted rated) schools). I have a keen interest in tutoring Maths in a way that makes it interesting and accessible for all. I have a range of experience teaching children; from private and voluntary tutoring to being an Au-Pair in Asia.

During my final year of university, I tutored a range of students from 10 years to 18 years old. I worked for a voluntary organisation (Success for All) that tutors children from low-income families. I also had a number of private students. In both roles, I taught Maths and English.

I worked as an Au-pair in Asia for fifteen months. I lived in with a Chinese family, and as part of that, I tutored their nine-year-old daughter full time in English (as a second language), Maths, and Science. Since this, I have kept up tutoring their daughter in Maths and Science online; I have also picked up a few of her classmates as regular online tutees.

My experience as a qualified teacher means I have a deep understanding of where students encounter problems, know methods proved to help, can deliver highly differentiated material even if the sessions are not one-to-one, and have a deep knowledge of the current maths curriculum and how to delve deeper into this to provide relevant challenge and support.
