Hi, my name is Evie. I am an environmental research scientist with a background in zoology and biological sciences. I have taught all sciences to KS3/4 students but would happily consider helping those at A-level and degree level too.
I have many years of experience in different sectors of education including primary, secondary and special needs.
I am a qualified primary school teacher with over 16 years of experience in education and over six years experience Tutoring. I offer bespoke sessions that are tailored to meet the individuals needs. I have lots of experience working with children with SEND and have a particular passion for early years and inclusion.
I plan, prepare and deliver sessions that are fun and engaging in order to support the development of all areas learning within the primary curriculum. For younger children and those with SEND I often find that their focus is better if a session incorporates some physical activity and frequently build learning through games in for these children.
My sessions will be as student-led as possible, by this I mean I will always prioritize topics you want to focus on. We will discuss which topics you find most challenging and ones you feel most confident in and also look at how topics interlink with each other.
As well as topic content we will work on exam technique, we will look at how to approach a question, identifying the methods needed, and how to answer question in order to ensure you scoop up as many marks as possible.
In addition, we will explore the best learning style for you. I appreciate the last thing you feel like doing after a day at school or work is listen to a tutor talking, therefore I will make sessions as interactive as possible using a range of resources such as visuals, practical tasks or even a song to help remember those formulae!
As a secondary school teaching assistant, I attend GCSE maths lessons and provide support to students either 1-to-1 or in small groups. Outside of lessons, I work with students to further help them with particular topics they are struggling with. I have supported students on the verge of dropping maths completely to being well on their way to achieving a GCSE. From experience, the topics students find the trickiest are algebra, fractions and angels. I have developed a good understanding of what can make each topic difficult for a student. From interacting with different maths teachers and students, I have devised a range of strategies to develop a strong understanding of each topic.
I do not believe in the concept of being a ‘maths person’ or not. Every skill can be learnt with determination and the right support. My own journey in maths was not so smooth, I found it very difficult on starting secondary school but with a bit of extra work outside lessons, it became my favourite subject and I got an A* in my GCSE. I’m now starting a masters in Marine Science for which strong maths skills are essential. I hope to help those like me to develop confidence in maths and never feel that maths will hold them back from future opportunities.
I often hear it said that someone is either a ‘maths person’ or they are not, this is a belief that I disagree with and think that any skill can be learnt with determination and the right support. This is something I have learnt in my own experience as I admit my journey in maths was not always smooth. Nearing the end of primary, I was struggling a lot in maths and my teacher even said that ‘there was no helping me’. However, with a little extra work outside of lessons it soon became my favourite subject in secondary school and I went on to achieve an A* (now a 9) in my GCSE. Now I am due to start a masters in Marine Science, which I could not have done without strong maths skills. I wish to be able to help others, like me, to become confident in maths and never feel like their maths is going to hold them back from going for opportunities they want.
