Portree Maths Tutors and Portree Maths Tuition

Personal Description:
I am friendly outgoing tutor who has a variety of interests. I enjoy travelling and playing a wide variety of sports in my spare time. I am fairly young and this ensures I can always communicate with my students effectively

Teaching Experience:
I have been tutoring for over 16 years and have had over 400 students in that time from numerous different schools and backgrounds. My success rate is very good.

Tutoring Approach:
I like to break up whichever subject I am tutoring into the various topics that make up the syllabus. I will then go through each lesson the different topics ensuring the student has understood what I am explaining, if not I will explain it again in a different way to ensure they have understood. I will then set regular homeworks and closer to the exam time go through past papers keeping parents up to date with their childs progress. I have a clear vision in how I need to take make each student progress and this structured approach has served me very well. I always ensure my communication with my students is very good and that they enjoy their lessons aswell as learning. This sets me apart from other tutors as I am young yet still very experienced at what I do. I can sometimes be more flexible with rates and do provide group tuition which may be more cost effective for you.

Tutoring Approach:
As Maths comes very naturally to me, my approach to tutoring has always been calm and friendly, as I am always very patient with each tutee. One of my best skills is being able to find different solutions to problems, and finding the best way for each individual person to learn a new skill that he/she might be struggling with. I can also adapt to any role, whether it is helping a person to keep up with class or homework studies, or to help them advance to the next level.

Personal Description:
I hold a First Class Honours degree in BSc Physics from the University of Southampton.

Since graduating in 2014, I have worked for a well-known accountancy firm in the City of London, and abroad in various countries, leading walks and climbs in the mountainous regions of France, Spain, Italy and Austria. I have been living and tutoring in Chamonix in the French Alps for two years, and have a passion for active, outdoor sports, including skiing, climbing and mountaineering.

I now conduct tutoring sessions from my base in Fort William.

Teaching Experience:
Two academic years' experience of tutoring high-potential young people for their 13+ Common Entrance exams to enter top-tier UK public schools (eg. Eton/Harrow).

Tutoring Approach:
I attained a First Class Honours degree in Physics after failing my second year! It was this failure that taught me the value of not only working hard, but working smart, too.

I am convinced that absolutely anyone can achieve a high grade in Physics and Maths; it is simply a question of how hard you are prepared to work for it!

In my tutoring, I like to build a picture of where my students are succeeding, and where they are in need of extra practice. We then target these weaker areas: looking first at their fundamental understanding of the topic; enhancing this with worked examples and coherent notes; and finally moving on to tackling exam questions, once they have gained confidence with such problems.

In this way, an all-round competence is gained, and the early exposure to exam questions allows students to refine their technique; and enables them to understand and anticipate the way in which subject matter will be examined. The result is a confident and prepared student!

Teaching Experience:
I've taught privately over many years, and had extensive contracts for one-to-one work at many schools in Letchworth and, most recently, a 6th form college in Brighton (Kings).

I'm expert at using graphical software to teach online.

I'm experienced in teaching maths at all levels of primary and secondary schooling (UK Key Stages 1 to 5).

GCSE Maths and GCSE Additional Maths, A-level Maths and A-level Further Maths, including mechanics, decision maths, and statistics.

Recent experience with all exam boards: Edexcel, OCR and AQA. For A level, GCSE and IGCSE.

Tutoring Approach:
Students often struggle with maths at school because of misconceptions that are particular to them, and difficult to rectify in a whole class setting, and which lead to the student losing confidence. One-to-one tuition can be an excellent way to address these misconceptions. and enable the student to re-connect with their enjoyment of the subject.

As a psychology graduate (before studying maths at university level), I have a fascination with how students themselves will approach a maths problem, and I'm good at allowing them to explore and develop their own ideas. I find they almost always have energy and enthusiasm for, say, a ratio or algebra problem, if they are allowed to explore it with appropriate visual imagery.

Personal Description:
I am an enthusiastic and very experienced Maths teacher living and working in Portsmouth. Over the years I have developed a wide range of strategies to engage learners of all ability levels as they prepare for their GCSE and A-level qualifications. I have had many successful classes in over 30 years of teaching and am able to bring this wealth of experience to the one-to-one sessions that I offer through UK Tutors.

Teaching Experience:
I spent the first 18 years of my career teaching in a Sixth Form College in South East Hampshire. I then moved to become Head of Maths at Caxton College which is the top British School in Valencia. Since returning to the UK 11 years ago I have taught at Independent Schools in Portsmouth. I am very experienced in delivering GCSE and A-level specifications and teach both Statistics and Mechanics.

Tutoring Approach:
I enjoy the challenge of breaking mathematical problems down to their basics so that learners of all abilities can access the content on GCSE and A-level specifications. In my experience, I have seen how pupils can get worked up about maths and this can create a mental block to the subject. I will never assume that a pupils knows a particular fact and will patiently work back to some foundational understanding before building concepts back up.
I have amassed a variety of resources over the years and use these to explain the concepts that underly the subject at GCSE and A-level. I also have a plentiful supply of past paper resources which I work through with pupils in order for them to feel confident with the questions that they will face in exams.
