Cromarty Maths Tutors and Cromarty Maths Tuition

Personal Description:
I have Special Needs University qualifications and counseling skills, which enables me to tutor students that may encounter emotional difficulties in their learning. I believe that motivation is the key factor to tutoring, as it needs to be addressed continuously in the process of learning.

Teaching Experience:
I have taught A-level Mathematics Edexcel: Pure, Statistics and Mechanics for 8 years.
I have been a private tutor since 2000, preparing students for +11, +13 and GCSE exams in English and Maths.

I am a certified therapist in PhonoGraphix method for addressing spelling and reading difficulties both for children and adults.

I could also help with learning computers (ECDL syllabus including usage of Word, PowerPoint, Internet, Excel).

Tutoring Approach:
As a tutor, I encourage my students to reflect upon their mistakes and to understand how to tackle the next step of their learning, without having a negative response.

I usually have the first lesson together with the parents so that the student feels comfortable and parents can observe my teaching; I present a folder containing the CRB form, qualifications, QTS certificate and letters of recommendations from parents. I teach from home in a calm and stimulating environment.

Personal Description:
I'm amazing!!!
And I help other people be amazing too!!!
My aim is to increase everyone's understanding of everything!!!

I've been tutoring Maths, Science and English since 2007, for ages 5 to 50. However, I mostly help teenagers with their SATs, GCSEs and A Levels.

Maths, Science and English are the three main subjects that people tend to want tutoring in. (Actually it's five subjects if you break the Science down into Biology, Chemistry and Physics.)

Anyway, as I tutor all of these subjects, my students find it very useful that I can potentially cover a different subject each week, or I can do two hours a week and cover a different subject in each hour.

This obviously makes it much easier for the parents too, because they don't have to find a separate tutor for each subject, or leave their child without the valuable one-to-one support in any of the core subjects.

I've also helped my students with pretty much every major school subject; from History and Religious Studies, to French and Spanish, and even Psychology and Health and Social Care. In fact, experience has shown me that I can help anyone to better understand anything - even something that I didn't even know myself a minute earlier!

Personal Description:
Hi - my name is Jonathan. I am a former primary school assistant headteacher, currently between jobs as I head towards a new role in initial teacher training. I therefore have plenty of availability in the coming autumn term to offer expert maths tuition for children heading towards 7+ or 11+ exams OR GCSE November resits.

Between 2021 and 2024, I taught at a leading West London day school as a Year 4-6 maths specialist teacher. I therefore have a strong understanding of the independent school landscape across London and am confident in preparing children for the mathematical demands of these exams.

I also have strong experience supporting students working at the Grade 3/4 borderline. My calm, patient approach and expertise in how to teach the fundamental concepts around KS2/early KS3 level has helped several students achieve the Grade 4/C they needed.

Although exam preparation is key, I take care to keep tutoring patient and positive, emphasising that it's great to spend time improving at maths anyway, with benefits far beyond upcoming tests. I have significant experience teaching students who find maths particularly challenging and have had good success in rebuilding knocked confidence and reigniting enjoyment of maths where it might have been lost.

Teaching Experience:
I have been a fully qualified teacher for over 10 years and have tutored extensively from EYFS up to higher tier GCSE.

I gained a maths specialist primary PGCE in 2016 and have continued to develop my expertise in primary maths ever since. I have been a KS1 class teacher in Hackney Central and Cairo, a KS2 maths specialist teacher at a top London day school and a lead practitioner working across EYFS, KS1 and KS2 in East London. Most recently I was Assistant Headteacher at the same school in Leyton, East London. In 2027 I will begin working for an initial teacher training provider in central London.

Tutoring Approach:
My sessions are friendly but focused, with a steady pace geared towards developing real understanding rather than simply a collection of set methods. I have a deep understanding of how learning happens in maths and when needed I can improvise the required activities or questions as sessions unfold. I also understand how and when to use puzzles and games to support children's engagement and help develop the reasoning and problem solving behaviours that are so important to real success in maths.

Subjects

Personal Description:
I decided to start tutoring after my experience in trying to get tutors for my own children. As a professional working internationally I thought it would be easy to hand over this important element of their education to someone with both experience and patience. My notion was quickly turned on its head. The Tutors I found taught textbook style with the one shoe fits all approach. My children and others didn't fit into that mould. I very quickly realised that I could do a better job and took the role in house, initially teaching my own daughters before extending out to their friends.
To date I have tutored over 250 children who have gone onto their chosen schools and universities. I believe that tutoring should be about delivering skills to children that they can carry with them throughout their young lives and provide a solid platform on which to develop.

Teaching Experience:
I am an experienced English tutor offering one-to-one support in English Language and English Literature across Key Stages 2, 3 and 4, helping pupils build confidence, develop strong foundations and reach their full potential.

My experience spans a wide range of learners and qualifications, including home-schooled students, GCSE and A Level candidates, and those studying the International Baccalaureate (IB). I also work with international students, whether they are attending school in the UK or studying from their home countries, and I am comfortable adapting my approach to different curricula, time zones and cultural backgrounds.

In English Language, I help students strengthen their reading comprehension, writing accuracy, spelling, grammar and punctuation, as well as their ability to write creatively and persuasively for different audiences. In English Literature, I guide pupils through set texts, poetry and unseen extracts, teaching them to analyse language and structure, form thoughtful personal responses and write clear, well-evidenced essays.

I have achieved particularly rewarding results working with children who have ADHD, dyslexia and other learning difficulties. I understand that every child learns differently, so I tailor each lesson to the individual, using clear explanations, structured routines, and patient, encouraging support. My aim is to help pupils not only improve their grades, but also to enjoy reading and writing and to believe in their own ability.

Whatever the age, stage or learning style, I am committed to providing a supportive and engaging environment where every student can thrive.

Tutoring Approach:
I love seeing a student's enthusiasm for a subject, and I share that excitement for English myself. Few things are more rewarding than watching a pupil discover a book, poem or piece of writing that sparks their curiosity.

I am equally passionate about supporting those who find the subject challenging or who are looking for practical methods to improve their skills. I believe everyone can make progress with the right guidance, so I break down complex ideas into manageable steps, build on each student's strengths and adapt my teaching to the way they learn best.

Whether a pupil is aiming for top grades, rebuilding their confidence or simply wanting to enjoy English more, my goal is to make learning feel achievable, engaging and worthwhile.

Hobbies: Football/Gym/Cars
Tutoring for GCSE or A-Level History/Maths/Economics

Teaching Experience:
Below are 5 attributes that I hold that are essential for tutoring:

1) Expertise in the Subject: Strong knowledge and understanding of the subject you're tutoring is essential. My mastery of subject material allows me to explain concepts clearly and answer questions accurately. Thousand of hours of study for both GCSE's and A-Levels has lead me to create excellent A* level notes for students.

2) Effective Communication: Being able to explain complex ideas in simple terms is a key skill for a tutor. My ability to convey information clearly and adapt my communication style to the student's learning preferences is crucial.

3) Patience and Empathy: Not all students grasp concepts at the same pace. Patience and empathy are vital qualities that allow me to work through difficulties with students and create a comfortable learning environment.

4) Adaptability: Each student has a unique learning style. Being able to adapt teaching methods to suit the individual needs of each student can greatly enhance their understanding and engagement.

5) Active Listening: Understanding a student's challenges and questions requires active listening. By carefully listening, I can address their specific needs and tailor your tutoring accordingly.

Tutoring Approach:
Online based tutor using Zoom or Google Meet.

1) Assessment and Goal Setting: I begin by assessing the student's current knowledge and understanding of the subject, whilst discussing the student's goals and expectations for the tutoring sessions.

2) Individualised learning plan: Based on the assessment, I create a personalised learning plan that outlines the topics to cover and the order in which to address them. I consider the student's learning style, strengths, and areas needing improvement.

3) Clear Explanation: Presenting concepts in a clear, concise, and easily understandable manner whilst using real-life examples and analogies to illustrate complex ideas.

4)Interactive Learning: I encourage active participation and engagement from all students. Asking questions to check for understanding and encourage critical thinking is the best way to improve.

5) Practice and Application: I will provide practice exercises, problems, or activities that reinforce the concepts being taught. I will then gradually increase the complexity of exercises as the student's understanding improves.

Subjects

Personal Description:
I live in Woking & work in a college in Weybridge. I've enjoyed teaching & tutoring maths & physics all my working life & even during my years working in engineering. By far the most important thing for me is for a student to feel relaxed in a lesson & know they are not being judged about topics & theory they are not confident with. This is as important for my students aiming for A* at A level as it is for a student who just wants a bit of confidence & repeatable methods to achieve a grade 4 or 5 at GCSE. I have always had an interest in maths & Engineering & feel very fortunate that this is my profession. I also enjoy a modest amount of cycling & swimming together with tennis.

Teaching Experience:
I studied Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bristol & worked in industry within the hydraulics & gas sampling sector. I am a qualified teacher, specializing in gcse/igcse maths & physics and A level maths at schools in Surrey. I have taught maths & physics for 15 years & for the past 6 years I have enjoyed teaching maths & Engineering at a college in Weybridge. Throughout this time & my time in industry I've had continuous & extensive experience teaching learners one to one, tailoring my teaching very much to learners individual needs.

Tutoring Approach:
My teaching starts with gaining an understanding of how the student feels about the subject, how they learn best, whether its by following examples, going through specific theory or starting from the building blocks eg fractions & algebra. Many difficulties go back to primary school where few principles were thoroughly explained & embedded, sowing seeds of difficulty when moving on to more advanced arithmetic & algebra in secondary school. My teaching is very relaxed and emphasizes a consistent repeatable approach to solving problems, trying to see the connection between what you are given & what is being asked, a crucial skill for all learners. This is by far the best way to allow students to build their confidence both to get through the grade 4 barrier and to gain fluency in those last grade 8 & 9 questions in the High level papers.
I also extend this approach to A level learners to ensure everyone can reach their full potential. It is no secret that early and very extensive exam practice is a huge part of exam success. My fluency in the specifications allows me to help learners focus on sometimes small subtopics & wording that can make all the difference to achieve a high grade.

I feel having genuine empathy with the learner, their hopes & fears and where they wish to be with their maths or Physics is the most important must of teaching. All other aspects of achieving follow from this.
