LoginAlexander - Bishopbriggs tutor
Information About Alexander:
Personal Description:
A friendly, patient, passionate and thorough tutor with +8 years maths tutoring experience, willing to go the extra mile to ensure student's academic success.
I am based in Bishopbriggs and also a former Bishopbriggs academy student. However, I also travel to other parts of Glasgow to tutor.
I studied Mathematics at Heriot-watt University and BA Education with specialism in Numeracy at the University of Stirling, which has led me into the field of teaching.
Each lesson is £25 per hour. 2 hour lessons are £40.
Teaching Experience:
I have been tutoring for +8 years at both primary and secondary level. However, I mainly specialise in secondary level mathematics from S1 - S3, Nat 4, Nat 5 to Higher.
I have tutored mathematics at secondary school level for many years now around the Bishopbriggs, Lenzie, Kirkintilloch, Bearsden, Milngavie and Robyroyston area.
I have also had experience working in several primary schools in the local Bishopbriggs and Cumbernauld area
My +8 years of tutoring has allowed me to identify areas where pupils commonly have difficulty with and develop an effective way where laying out the lessons are structured and easy to absorb.
Tutoring Approach:
A Systematic approach to Teaching and Easy-to-follow lesson structure - I adopt a systematic approach to teaching that ensures lessons are easily understood by explaining the learning content in a step-by-step process using everyday language that allows pupils to understand mathematics easier.
Identify pupil's strengths and weaknesses - I will firstly identify pupil's strengths and weaknesses so I can identify areas where students needs work on. I will then prioritise focusing on improving on those areas of weakness to ensure there are no gaps in learner knowledge so pupils feel confident in their understanding.
Exam revision and past papers practice - I will introduce various successful exam strategies, past-paper revision techniques and plenty of exam practice so pupils can feel confident going into the exam.
Clear communication and transparency of pupil's learning progress with pupils and parents - I will update both students and parents of the learning progress at the end of the lesson so everyone is on the same page.
Provide recommendations for maths practice books and flexible lesson scheduling - I will also recommend any books to purchase. Furthermore, I provide flexible scheduling of lessons to work around the pupil's timetables.
Outline of the lessons?
• The first lesson will focus on identifying areas where pupils need work on.
• In the first few initial lessons, I will cover maths topics that pupils struggle with.
• Future lessons will cover maths topics in the curriculum that pupils are doing in class.
• Towards the end of the term, prior to exams, I will focus on exam practice and past papers.
If you have any queries please feel free to contact via email or phone. Thank you.
