Nik's profile picture

Information About Nik:


Personal Description:

I'm currently a private Mathematics and Further Mathematics tutor, providing high-quality tuition to A Level, GCSE and KS3 Mathematics students. I achieved First Class Honours in BSc Mathematics at Durham University, and I recently completed a postgraduate secondary Mathematics education course at Newcastle University, which involved teaching many classes across two secondary schools. I took A Levels in mathematics, further mathematics, chemistry and economics, achieving A* grades in all four subjects. In my GCSEs, I achieved A* grades in all eight subjects with letter grades, as well as grade 9 in Mathematics. As I currently tutor a considerable number of students, my knowledge is constantly refreshed, and I can offer well-informed, up-to-date tuition.



Teaching Experience:

I have tutored over 45 students, across Years 7 to 13 and beyond. My experience of working alongside students with many different approaches and attitudes to learning enables me to provide an extremely high quality of tuition for my students. Throughout my time tutoring, I have received overwhelmingly positive feedback for my services, and my tutees have made significant progress in Mathematics.



Tutoring Approach:

I believe in the mantra "Learn - Remember - Revise", by which I initially help students to understand a topic, before enabling them to refresh and consolidate their knowledge and finally I assist them in answering exam-style questions. This ensures that the student will be confident in that topic, and be able to apply their knowledge in an exam.
