Information About Hannes:

Personal Description:

I am a German Mathematician educated to Ph.D. level. I also have all other
qualifications that enabled me to become a Ph.D. student, like Abitur
(German A-Levels) and a University degree in mathematics (German diploma
equivalent to masters).
I am very calm, friendly and patient. Despite my high qualification I really am
very patient and able to adapt to the student's abilities, needs and tuition targets.
I am 100% reliable and always punctual.
I have been living and working in Britain for 3.5 years. I speak English fluently.

I charge 60p for one mile travel distance (one way). I only travel up to 10 miles.
And I only teach at your home or online.
Currently I have free slots on most weekdays and on Saturday.

Teaching Experience:

I have 4 years teaching experience from working in University and have
considerable experience in helping others understanding maths. I also
have over 26 months recent tutoring experience in the UK, of which
12 months I have been working full time as a maths tutor. During this time I have taught
16 students, of which I had 4 of them for over a year. My first two students
are still with me.

At the moment I am successfully tutoring 4 students aged 9 to 15.
I am particularly qualified to teach university students, and have I recently tutored
several university students, e.g. a maths student, a economics student,
a engeneering student.

Tutoring Approach:

tutoring approach:
=================
I would call my tutoring approach practical. I explain a concept by going through one or more examples together with the student.
If necessary I explain the concept from different angels using visual aids (drawings, often a picture says more then many words).
Through my deep understanding of the subject I am able to explain things in a way other tutors might not be able to and bring examples
other tutors might not know. For example I used binary numbers for a Year 3 and a Year 5 student to explain place value.
From there I will help the students solve some easy examples which gradually get more difficult. This gives the student practical
understanding, experience and confidence for exams. I will also setting homework to be completed between tutorials.
This gives the student invaluable practise and helps me also to assess the student's progress.
I never show up unprepared to a lesson.
