Information About Emma:

Personal Description:

I am a mature, reliable and intelligent 18 year old girl, who has just completed A Level Maths and A Level Further Maths, both at A grade. I attended City of London School for Girls, where my capacity for understanding and applying mathematics was recognised by many internal and external awards. I am now taking a gap year, and will be attending Cambridge University this autumn. Please don't hesitate to contact me if you require any further details.

Many thanks,

Emma Makinson

Teaching Experience:

While still at school, at the request of my teachers, I began working with younger children, mentoring and tutoring them in Mathematics. I was hugely successful here, particularly in the case of many children who were falling behind - I helped them to generate an enthusiasm for the subject. I have also been tutoring children from 6 to 16 years old commercially for the past two years, again with huge success. Although I have usually been employed for maths tuition, I have often extended my hours to provide additional support in many other aspects of my clients' educations. In particular, I have prepared many young people for success in 11+, 13+ and sixth form entrance exams; I also have coached many for the relevant interviews. My rates are reasonable: I charge 20-30 pounds per hour (as noted), although this is calculated on the assumption that I would be travelling to a location in North or Central London. Further to the information here listed, I have also spent six months this year working in the United States. Although employed full time at a literary agency, I spent some time preparing students for SAT Reasoning tests and subjects tests in Mathematics - and have an excellent understanding of what is required for these exams.

Tutoring Approach:

I aim to build on an understanding between myself and the student, to guide them through the more challenging aspects of mathematics. I hope to develop in a student the ability to perform well by pairing a good ground knowledge of basic rules with a more conceptual approach to mathematics.

Qualifications:

• A Grade at Maths and Further Maths A Levels
• A Grade at French AS Level
• A* Grade at English GCSE
• A Grade at History AS Level
