In recent years there has been a huge growth in the number of agencies offering online maths tuition at very competitive rates. Many agency tutors are recent graduates or currently at university, and in need of some extra cash. They may have excellent subject knowledge and exam technique but equally important is whether they are able to communicate that knowledge to younger students who are just getting their heads around new and abstract mathematical concepts.

 

Academic excellence does not necessarily make you a good teacher - explanative skills are far more important.  I became really good at tutoring maths after many years of developing these skills. Over a decade later, I am able to understand the individual needs of each student and provide bespoke online maths tuition that meets their requirements - whether it's KS3, GCSE or A Level maths tutoring. For an idea of how I explain maths concepts, see my GCSE maths videos and A level maths videos.

​

Unlike some subjects, maths builds upon previous foundational topics, so identifying weaknesses is very important and is something I always address early on. I also encourage students to not fear mathematical 'dead ends' or misconceptions. All maths students encounter problems along the way and it is the act of working through problems that produces results. For learning to take place, students need to feel at ease, not worry about saying something 'stupid' and feel comfortable to make mistakes. I am calm, kind and extremely patient, so it doesn’t matter how many times we have to repeat a concept. We will persevere until it is eventually understood.

I genuinely enjoy working with young people and feel fortunate to have a positive input into their educational journey. But don’t take my word for it, please look at my testimonials to find out what people are saying about my online maths tuition.
