A little introduction (or re-introduction) to the person behind The Female Maths Tutor šš¼
Yes, Iām a Maths teacher.
Yes, I genuinely love Maths.
And yes⦠I once got 100% in an A Level Maths exam. š
But Iām also someone who can completely overthink splitting a restaurant bill in my head, loves a good Sudoku and will happily switch my brain off with a ridiculously cheesy Netflix series.
And I think thatās partly why I love teaching so much.
Over the years, Iāve realised that being good at Maths isnāt about being the quickest person in the room or being able to instantly calculate everything in your head.
Itās about learning how to think.
Knowing what to do when you donāt immediately know the answer.
Being willing to get something wrong.
And having the confidence to keep going when a question looks completely unfamiliar.
Thatās what I want my students to learn.
Itās one of the reasons I created Project Excellence.
A small online GCSE Higher Maths group where I can teach properly, get to know my students and help them work towards those top grades ā without creating even more pressure around their GCSEs.
And alongside our live lessons, students get access to my Achieving Excellence programme, where we go beyond simply learning more Maths and look at how to revise, how to approach difficult questions, exam technique, study habits and becoming a more confident, independent learner.
Because achieving excellence isnāt about studying every hour of the day.
Itās about learning to study well. š¤
If you have a Year 10 or Year 11 student taking Higher Maths and this sounds like the kind of support they need, you can find out more about Project Excellence through the link in my bio.
And if youāre just here for the Maths tips, study motivation and occasional evidence that Maths teachers are normal people too⦠welcome. šš¤
