Rye Tutors and Rye Tuition

Personal Description:
I am a Mathematics graduate from Cambridge University. Since 2009, I have been successfully tutoring Mathematics full-time to well over 300 pupils, with about 95% of my students achieving or surpassing their desired grades.
Before that, I worked in the IT industry, initially for a large corporation and then for an independent software house. I later formed my own company, specialising in developing applications for small- to medium-sized companies.
I study extensively to keep up to date with the latest mathematical ideas and educational trends. I ensure that I am familiar with the most recent syllabuses.
Outside work, my main interest is music, particularly singing. I belong to two choirs, one of which I am chairman.

Teaching Experience:
I teach exclusively one-to-one, as I believe that provides the best outcome for learning Mathematics. Due to the Covid-19 pandemic, I currently tutor exclusively online, using the applications Zoom for communication and bitpaper for whiteboard. I am available for home schooling: please contact me for rates.
My experience covers:
A-Level - Edexcel, AQA, OCR/OCR-MEI and Pre-U

Further Maths - Core Pure, FM1/2, FS1/2, FP1/2, D1/2

University entrance exams:

STEP
Oxford Maths Admissions Test
Advanced Extension Award

International Baccalaureate (IB) - Standard and Higher

Undergraduate topics - please inquire for details.

Tutoring Approach:
I believe in tailoring the teaching approach to each student's needs and individual learning style. For school children and university students, I discuss their aims with them - and with their parents, if required - to determine what topics need additional tuition and then to work out the appropriate programme. I advocate continuous assessment to measure the student's progress. Closer to exams, the pupils will work through focused papers. At this stage, strategic choices may be made to concentrate on the pupil's strengths.
My core teaching is for A levels. I have discovered that certain topics in the new syllabus often require extra explanation and practice. These are:
Pure: Logs, integration, and trigonometry
Statistics: Hypothesis testing
Mechanics: Forces and projectiles
For adults, I work with them to develop a personalised programme to enable them to achieve their goals. This may mean working towards a specific qualification they need.
I have great passion for and a deep knowledge of Mathematics. My aim is always to get my students to enjoy the subject. Most importantly, they are encouraged to gain confidence in their own abilities by building on what they feel comfortable with. I believe that the right teacher can undo wrong learning very quickly.
Although online currently, lessons would normally take place at the student's home, or at my home in Kingston, where I have a quiet study. Assignments and homework are an integral part of my teaching: there can be no improvement without practice.

My students have been varied (unemployed up to company directors) and their levels have ranged from Elementary to Advanced (individuals and groups).

Tutoring Approach:
No two students are the same and I adapt my teaching techniques to take this into account, often using my own unique methods to help students with pronunciation etc. Learning a new language is never easy, but I provide lessons in a relaxed style (with some humour) to make the process more enjoyable. Most importantly, I obtain results.

Personal Description:
I have 10 years experience of teaching and tutoring at all levels up to university (lecturer for 5 years) and have all 5 star feedback. My tutees get great results (93% As and A*s this year) and most importantly, show outstanding improvements in both understanding and confidence.

I am really passionate about science and teaching: during my academic career, I have been fortunate enough to have plenty of opportunities to combine the two at a variety of levels. I come from a very large family and have been involved in work with children from a young age - from riding instructor to homework 'buddy' and in the last 10 years tutoring and teaching. I love the moment that you see the light of understanding come on in the person that you are working with - I got into science for these moments myself and to be honest, it's almost as rewarding to see them in someone else! It is particularly exciting when you see someone go from frustration to 'getting it'.

I'm extremely patient, calm and focused. I work best with individuals or small groups of 2-3 students.

Teaching Experience:
All exam boards plus IB
GSCE: This year's students achieved cracking results in biology, chemistry, maths, physics and geography. Almost all As and A*s - I was very proud of them!
A-level:
Again, almost all As in biology and chemistry. Most came to me with predicted Ds so we were all delighted with the results.
Primary level:
My own children were partially home-schooled so I have copious experience there!
11-14:
I currently tutor in maths and science, I used to run a weekend biology group for adolescents and have taught English as a secondary language at this level
University level:
Range of subjects including biology, biochemistry, nutrition, aquaculture, fisheries economics, thermodynamic engineering

Tutoring Approach:
The foundation of my approach is to building confidence and enthusiasm in my pupils. I use a combination of exam questions and structured sessions. This allows the student to become familiar and comfortable with the format of questions, and to more easily identify what the examiner is asking. It also allows me to focus the effort on where there are gaps in the knowledge or understanding.
I am extremely patient & able to come up with new and innovative ways to help my students overcome whatever problems they experience in the subjects I teach. I like to see the students put in some effort because I think the best results are achieved that way but I am always supportive.

Personal Description:
I grew up in Peru and lived in the USA and UK before moving to Brazil for 10 years and Bolivia for 2 years before returning to England (Taunton and London). Mike my retired-vicar husband also worked in Africa and served as advisor at The Royal Institute of International Affairs.We have four grown-up children, each born in a different country, and as a family we all share a fascination with different cultures, religious beliefs and ethnic groups. My interests include foreign travel, cooking from around the world, candle-making, films and play-fighting with our cat Mimi. I enjoy teaching children games and crafts, reading spy novels. and voluntary work with youth groups.

Teaching Experience:
After obtaining my CELTA Certificate from the prestigious International House in London in the year 2000, I accumulated almost 3000 hours teaching experience on a one-to-one basis with Home Language International, Concordia International and Crest School of English, Edgware. Since 2002 I have provided residential tuition for over 120 tutees, who have travelled to our home from countries as diverse as France, Italy, Russia,Siberia, Brazil, Morocco, Kazakhstan, Germany, Holland Argentina, Poland, Romania, Hungary, Japan, Germany and Spain. These students have varied in age from children to grandparents, and include a number of married couples.

Tutoring Approach:
I prefer the richness of residential tuition, since cultural immersion can lead to deeper relationships and a more holistic grasp of the culture behind the language. Nevertheless I have also a wide experience in one-to-one teaching in daily or weekly sessions. I quickly adapt my material to the ability and requirements of the pupil, making use of visual aids, games, cuttings tape recordings and other kinaesthetic tools to make lessons more interesting, and often draw on a wide range of personal stories from across the world to illustrate the material. When the tuition is residential, I supplement the formal lessons with visits to local attractions, depending on the students' particular areas of interest;-
• English Mediaeval History (Berkeley Castle and Gloucester Cathedral)
• Jane Austin and Georgian England (Bath and Cheltenham)
• Industrial Archaeology (Stroudwater Canal, Sapperton Tunnel and cloth-mills in the Golden Valley)
NATURE
• Slimbridge Wildfowl Trust
OTHER
• Cotswold Attractions (Bibury, Stow-on-the Wold, Bourton-on-the-Water, Moreton-in-Marsh)

I am a French IT engineer with 20 years tutoring math and French at all levels from Year 6 to GCSE to A LEVEL or French Bac and University. I developed my own tutorials. I have a stock of 150 lessons growing every week covering pronunciation, grammar, vocabulary in French and most concepts in math
In French, I can tailor courses for professional with special needs: Business French or for adults wishing to travel or move to France.
In math, I can help you improve and get top marks at your exams.
With my method anybody wishing to learn quickly can improve in less than 10 lessons.

Teaching Experience:
In the last 30 years in France and in the UK, I have taught to tens of students. My favorite task is to take students struggling with French or Math and to bring them up to the 80%-100% range. It happened many times. I also help students with memory technics for remembering lessons and tips to pass tests successfully.

Tutoring Approach:
I have taught French as a foreign language to English students for the last 20 years. I have created audiovisual lessons taking in account similarities and differences between French and English to improve and speed up the learning. My method works as well for beginners with no French at all.
I have taught up to A-Level Mathematics to pupils who then went on to study Mathematics at top universities.
In math, I always start by assessing the student level. First, I propose a plan to fill the gaps while helping with the current difficulty. I usually encourage and teach my students to use spreadsheets (EXCEL) to help them formalize problem solving.

Always allow 80 minutes instead of 60 for the first meeting.

About me:

A friendly, patient, supportive and passionate tutor with +10 years maths tutoring experience, dedicated to going the extra mile to help learners develop a clear understanding of maths topics, build exam confidence and improve grades.

Academic Background

My background is in Mathematics and Education. I studied BSc Mathematics at Heriot-Watt University and then graduated with BA Education with specialism in Numeracy at University of Stirling, which has led me into tutoring mathematics.

My tutoring experience

I am from the Bishopbriggs area and a former Bishopbriggs Academy student. I have been tutoring mathematics for +10 years, supporting students of all ages at different levels from primary to secondary level maths, both in-person and online across many parts of Glasgow such as the East Dunbartonshire Area: Bishopbriggs, Lenzie, Kirkintilloch, Bearsden, Milngavie and the Robroyston. Additionally, I have also tutored in areas outside of the East Dunbartonshire such as many parts of North Lanarkshire: Cumbernauld, Moodiesburn and Stepps and Glasgow City Council - Southside & Newton Mearns, tutoring pupils all over different parts of Glasgow. I have tutored at pupil's homes, my own and even online, if distance is an issue. I am more than willing to travel to other parts of Glasgow to provide the support where it is needed.

Extra about my services - Online Tutoring

Lastly, if distance is an issue, the option for online tutoring is available. The online lessons are easy to arrange, set-up and easy-to-use. The programme I use has all the necessary features for online teaching and above all it is free. I will also provide the necessary information to guide you through the process, if needs be. More information on this will be given upon request.

Teaching Experience:
My teaching experience in schools

I have also previously worked in numerous primary and secondary schools for many years across the East Dunbartonshire - Bishopbriggs and Kirkintilloch/ Lenzie and North Lanarkshire in the Cumbernauld area. This experience has allowed me to become a tutor with a strong maths understanding and familiarity with all levels of the school curriculum, assessments, exam and school procedures and exam topics and SQA marking scheme.


Student feedback

Over the years, I have consistently received overwhelming positive feedback from numerous students and parents, expressing their satisfaction in how much they liked my support in improving pupil's grades, confidence and exam performance. Previous pupils and parents have commonly said: "I like the way you explain things", "I find it easier to understand maths", "I feel more confident in maths", "she is more confident in maths", "I like the feedback in their progress" and "you have been very supportive". This has inspired me to continually and actively dedicate and provide my services to supporting pupils all over Glasgow.

Tutoring Approach:
Teaching Approach

I adopt a direct, systematic, step-by-step teaching approach, where lessons are structured in a way that makes maths easy to understand. Lessons will firstly focus on identifying gaps in knowledge, reinforced with ample practice questions and then progressing to past-paper level questions. I believe that the more you practice, the more confident you will become. This allows pupils to go into exams with confidence.

What will you get out of the lessons?

1. A structured, step-by-step teaching approach so lessons are clear and easy to understand with clear topic summary notes for revision and consistent updates on learner progress.

2. Lessons will be tailored around the pupil's learning needs and will firstly identify gaps in knowledge to establish a starting point, reinforced with ample practice questions and building towards exam-level questions. They will cover all maths topics but will prioritise specific areas the pupils have difficulty with or wish to focus on to ensure a strong maths foundation.

4. Provide homework & assignment support, guidance with classwork, exam preparation and past-paper practice.

5. Past-paper revision techniques and plenty of exam practice so pupils can feel confident going into the exam.

6. Recommendations of any books and teaching resources for exam practice will be provided.

If you have any queries please feel free to contact me via email or phone. I'd be delighted to answer any questions. I look forward to working with you. Thank you.

Personal Description:
I'm a maths tutor based in Hounslow, London, with about a year of experience working with young people. Most of my work has been one-to-one and in small groups, through ChalkDuster, Brunel University London, and Queen Mary University of London.

I mainly teach math to KS2, KS3, and KS4 GCSE students. A lot of what I do is help students with topics they've struggled with in class and explain things in a different way until it finally clicks for them. I've worked with a mix of students, including some with SEN and SEMH needs, so I'm used to adjusting how I teach depending on the person in front of me.

One thing I care about is building confidence. A lot of students come to me feeling anxious about math or thinking they're just "not a math person." I try to create a relaxed environment where it's okay to get things wrong and where we work through problems step by step until we feel more sure of ourselves.

My own background is in math, science, and computer science, and I hold a master's in cloud computing. I enjoy tutoring because I like seeing the moment a student goes from feeling stuck to actually understanding something. I'm looking for tutoring work where I can keep doing that and keep improving as a teacher.

Teaching Experience:
I've been tutoring math for about a year now, across a few different places.

Right now I'm working as a teaching assistant with Queen Mary University of London on their outreach program. I run maths sessions for KS3 and KS4 students and visit partner schools to support students one-to-one and in small groups. I mostly help them work through topics they've found tricky in class. Working alongside the lead tutors has taught me a lot about planning a lesson, managing a room, and keeping students engaged when the maths gets harder.

I also work as a teaching assistant at Brunel University London, supporting math sessions for KS2, KS3, and KS4 students. I sit in while the lead teacher introduces a topic, then step in to help the students who are finding it harder to follow or who need it explained a different way. Working closely with experienced teachers has been really useful for picking up classroom management.

Before this, I worked as a mathematics tutor at ChalknDuster, teaching KS2 to KS4. I planned and delivered lessons aligned with the UK National Curriculum, focused on exam techniques and closing gaps in students' knowledge. A big part of my job there was building confidence and helping students who had a lot of math anxiety.

I also did weekly tutoring with WeSolveProblems through the University of Leicester, working with students in years 6 to 11 on core topics like algebra, geometry, and number, as well as exam-style problem solving.

Across all of these, I've mostly done one-to-one and small-group work, which is the kind of teaching I enjoy most.

Tutoring Approach:
My main goal is to help students actually understand what they're doing, not just memorise steps to pass a test. So I try to explain the "why" behind the math, not only the "how."

Every student is different, so the first thing I do is work out where they're at and where the gaps are. Some students just need a topic explained in a different way, while others have missed something earlier on and need to go back and fill that in first. Once I understand that, I can adjust how I teach to suit them.

I like to keep sessions relaxed. A lot of students feel anxious about math or think they're "just not good at it," so I try to make it okay to get things wrong. We work through problems step by step, and I get the student to do as much of the thinking as possible rather than just watching me solve it. When they get stuck, I ask questions to guide them instead of giving the answer straight away.

I also try to build confidence as we go. I point out what they've done well, set work that's challenging but not overwhelming, and celebrate the small wins. Over time, this helps students feel more sure of themselves and more willing to try.

When it comes to exams, I make sure we cover the right techniques and practice past-paper-style questions so students know what to expect and feel prepared.

In the end, I want students to leave a session feeling like they understand more than they did before and a bit more confident about math in general.
