LoginSandra - Norwich tutor
Information About Sandra:
Personal Description:
My name is Sandra and I live in the south part of Norwich with my husband and tabby cat called Mowgli. My three boys are now at university (Leeds, Durham and London) so the house is much more peaceful and I can spend more time on tutoring.
Teaching Experience:
I have worked full time in Secondary Schools for the last 6 years, teaching Maths for years 7,8 and 9 and for GCSE and A level. I have taught A level cores 1,2,3 and 4 with both the OCR and the AQA boards of examination. I have been a 6th form tutor and have a good knowledge of the UCAS process and of the universities themselves. I also have experience of graduate tutoring for students wishing to improve their numerical reasoning for job applications. More and more graduate jobs are requiring additional aptitude tests including numerical reasoning in the form of psychometric assessment.
Tutoring Approach:
I enjoy being with young people especially hearing about their aspirations for the future. Maths is such a necessary tool, whether it is gaining Maths GSCE to open more doors, or getting your head around aspects of A level maths which will be used at university for quantum mechanics. I have developed several topical online resources so that the pupil's understanding can be quickly assessed and he or she can then have the confidence to make sure progress, in small steps. I encourage my students to explain their thinking at every opportunity. They have commented that the time goes very quickly as I use a variety of teaching methods, including games and card sorts as well as problem solving.
