Information About Luke:

Personal Description:

I am a young, enthusiastic Mathematics graduate (1st Class Degree) offering tuition and exam preparation in Maths at GCSE level to supplement my income before I go travelling at the end of the year.
I feel that I have an advantage over the majority of tutors as much of the course material is still fresh in my mind. I can vividly remember sitting in that exam hall just a few years ago so will be able to relate to my students in a way unlike many others.
My main focus will be exam preparation but I also aim to offer students a better understanding and realisation of the uses of Maths in the real world with the hope that some of my passion for the subject rubs off on my students.
I am able and willing to travel to students' homes up to 15 miles and I'm available at both evenings and weekends.

Teaching Experience:

While completing my A-levels I tutored 3 students through their Maths and Physics GCSEs with pleasing results. It was relatively informal but something I vowed to take up again in the future as I enjoyed it a great deal. I have been tutoring 2 students formally for the past month and both are very happy with their progress in this time.

Tutoring Approach:

I found that adopting a flexible approach teaching according to students' individual needs by encouraging strengths and working on weaknesses proved a recipe for success. I am patient and approachable and can provide real help with the parts of your courses with which you may be having difficulty.
My intention is to help you understand and grasp the critical concepts in maths, which will be beneficial not only to your short term exam results, but also to your long term career progress. I've found that practice in exam techniques invariably helps to rapidly improving grades, and will provide plenty of examples and exercises if and when needed. I will study the current syllabus requirements and have found that past examiners reports are a very useful, and often overlooked, resource.
I shall be available by e-mail to go through problems outside normal tutoring hours, of which no extra fees will be charged.

Qualifications:

• BSC Mathematics York Uni (1st Class Degree)
• A - Level (2As, 2Bs)
• GCSEs (3A*s, 4As, 3Bs, 2Cs
