I've not posted for a while, but I thought it would be worth putting an update.
It is lovely seeing my current cohort taking their GCSEs at the moment, and the confidence they have gained in their Maths.
In September I am thinking of just having two students on a Monday evening, one at 5:30, and the 2nd at 7pm. Both slots are currently available. I was tutoring 5 children in 7 slots this year.
I specialise in students who struggle with Maths, and who might not get a grade 4 without 1:1 help.
I am not a secondary Maths Teacher, For 20 years I was a primary teacher, and completed an MA focussing on adapting the curriculum to fit the child. I also home educated my own four children who all got grades 8 or 9 in their Maths GCSEs
I personally found Maths difficult at Year 10, but something clicked in Y11 and I went on to do Maths A-Level, so I have an understanding of what it feels like to be confused by maths.
Ideally this works best where I help for both years 10 & 11, but just year 11 can make a difference if the student is motivated to work hard outside the sessions.
If you think I could help, then do get in touch.
If you want testimonies from other parents, I can put you in touch with some people I have worked with this year, but I don't post them publicly for the sake of confidentiality.
