English, maths and exam prep lessons in Maidstone, UK.

Recently graduated from the University of Nottingham with a Masters degree in Mathematics, helping students of any level looking to work hard to achieve desired grades and beyond. Specialising in GCSE/Alevel, results driven, taking on students and parents wanting to exceed expectations.  

I have just finished college and I'm going to study undergraduate medicine at university. I would love to tutor younger pupils so I can help them realise their full potential and achieve academic success. I have worked as a teaching assistant at a Saturday school for 1 year, helping 6-8-year-olds with writing, reading, spellings, singing, dance, and theatre lessons. During this time period, I was also a carer for a child in the class with autism, so I have experience with children who have special abilities. I have also tutored a Year 12 student for 1 year on AQA A-level biology. Each session we went through the areas of the specification that the student found difficult and worked towards their end of Year 12 exams. I have achieved Grade 9 in GCSE Biology, Chemistry, and French and Grade 8 in Mathematics. I have A*A*A* predictions for A-level Maths, Biology, and Chemistry.

  I am an experienced mathematics educator, and I am passionate about instilling an understanding of mathematics in all my students. The belief that every student can surpass their perceived potential has always been a backbone of my teaching practice. I am aware that the same approach doesn’t work for every student, so I develop diverse strategies to maximise learning for all students. I look forward to sharing my joy for mathematics with all my students, whether it be in class or during tutoring sessions.        

During my working life, I have been involved in a wide range of teaching activities from internal training in organisations to teaching in higher educations settings. For over 6 years I have delivered private Maths to children ( Key stage 1 to 4) and young adults (GCSE) and Spanish lessons for children, young people (GCSC, A levels) and adults taking advantage of my previous experience in adult education. In addition, I have run courses for children in different schools in London and gained valuable experience working with them. I have also professional experience as IT Consultant (SAP) and trainer.

I am a medical student and I have had experience tutoring both primary and secondary students for about 2 years now in a wide range of subjects. I hope to work with you soon!

Basic maths lessons in Welling, UK.

Teaching is my third and final career and I love it. I have over 22 years experience of helping students of all ages and abilities achieve their goals. I am a qualified teacher with 14 years in classrooms, teaching English and law, and I'm also a qualified journalist and solicitor. I found school very challenging myself, so I completely understand why many very bright students don't do as well as they could at school. The truth is, school isn't always the best place to learn. The current situation means that by September, most of the current cohort of students in year 10 are not going to know what has hit them. GCSE has become increasingly difficult since 2008 and the 2015 reform means that it is exceedingly difficult to get above grade 6. I anticipate that this year's year 11 cohort hoping to study English at A level will be similarly shellshocked. The gap between GCSE and A level is enormous and even students with a predicted grade 8 or 9 are likely to find the A level daunting to say the least. I offer one to one support online  using facetime,  zoom and Google  docs for students able to type. I also offer small group preparation for both next year's GCSE and A levels in both language and literature to ensure that in September they hit the ground running. These sessions  are done using zoom or at my home in Ealing. Tutoring Experience:- Since 1998 I have helped literally hundreds of students to:- * achieve grade A/A*/9 in GCSE English both literature and language; * get into a wide range of top London schools both private and selective grammar schools including St Paul's Girls, St Paul's Boys, Henrietta Barnett, Tiffin Girls, Eton, UCS, as well as Merchant Taylor, Godolphin and Latimer, Haileybury, Hampton, John Lyons, Notting Hill and Ealing, Kew House, St James', Kings College Wimbledon, Haberdashers Askes, St Helen's Northwood, Northwood College, Royal Masonic, Habs Girls, Northbridge House and Latymer Upper * win scholarships to Harrow School, UCS  Northwood College and Notting Hill and Ealing High. I also help children aged 4 and above who are struggling with English, French or maths. In 2019 I had five GCSE students who attend state private schools, and three who attend private schools including St. Pauls Boys; six 11+ primary students and four home-schooled students aged 7, 12, 14 and 16. I am pleased to say that out of the 8 GCSE students, 7 got grade 9 for both English language and English literature. The other student got 9 for literstliterature for language  As for my 11+ students, in February this year all 6 of them got places at their first choice schools which were NHE, Latymer Upper, Kew House, Tiffin Girls, Henrietta Barnett and Northwood College. I also see several adults on a regular or ad hoc basis, for example Claudette who is 58. Initially I helped her with GCSE English in www.*** ; I then supported her during her Access course. She's now halfway through her degree in physiotherapy at www.*** ; Background information:- My first teaching experience was as a volunteer, teaching Adult Literacy from 1985-1987 while working as a freelance journalist. From 1995-7 I taught at a local boys preparatory school - Durston House - while completing my vocational training part time as a solicitor. I began tutoring fulltime in 1998 when I realised that although working in the law is fascinating, it's not a lifestyle I want, and I have been tutoring ever since. From 1999 to 2012 I was teaching English fulltime in a sixth form college which specialised in English at all levels from Functional Skills and IELTS, to academic English www.*** GCSE, Access, and A Level language, literature and lang/lit. I continued to see a few private students, and in 2012 I returned to fulltime tutoring. Ad hoc help:- Apart from tutoring, I also help adult students with their theses and dissertations, teach them how to edit their work properly, how to ensure that they are not straying off topic, and how to improve their vocabulary and expression. I can do this online or face to face. Help with personal statements, applications for research grants and CVs is available face to face or via Google docs. Children- and adults- with disabilities:- In the last 22 years I have taught literally thousands of students and many of them have had disabilities including deaf students, visually impaired students and students with cerebral palsy, as well as students with learning difficulties including AS, APD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia and ADD/ADHD. I have studied the growing problem of both ESOL and native speaking English students who have difficulty in drawing inferences from what they read. My method of teaching uses a very carefully selected range of texts to focus on intensely in order to determine whether further investigation is appropriate. I am not qualified to diagnose autism but I have successfully taught many students on the spectrum. Tutoring Approach:- Alongside teaching, I have studied the psychology of learning and have many tools at my disposal to teach the skills that today's students and job seekers need. If you are struggling in school, college or university, it is not your fault. My job is to ensure that you do not need a tutor as quickly as possible while offering ongoing support if necessary. I believe that given the right atmosphere, attitude and support, anyone can succeed. A stressful environment makes learning almost impossible, so my lessons are extremely relaxing. Students are usually amazed at how fast the time passes. At the end of the session I ensure the student understands everything covered in that session, and may ask for the student to complete an appropriate length homework to bring to the next session. My motto is "self talk determines destiny" and I help students to unlearn the idea that they can't do something. My approach is first to ensure that I am the right tutor for the student. The first session is designed for the student (and their parents) to assess me, as well as for me to work out the student's current level of ability and their learning style. In subsequent sessions the most important thing is to ensure that the student has no gaps in their understanding of the subject and what is required. So I always begin at the beginning and usually students progress very quickly through the first phase. Once they are reasonably confident and have caught up with their school's expectations, I begin to stretch them, at their own pace. I believe that students want to do well but are self-conscious and dislike asking for help at school as it makes them feel stupid. Lack of basic understanding results in lack of self confidence which can easily develop into becoming withdrawn or disruptive in class, or hating the subject. It is quite easy to turn the student's attitude around once they realise that they can succeed, so I do a lot of confidence building exercises and use praise and humour to help them see what they are doing wrong and what they are doing right. As a result of this, their self esteem is enhanced and they become more willing to contribute in class and take risks, rather than sitting in the back of the classroom praying for the time to pass. I use my own resources which I have developed by studying assessment criteria and objectives of all of the boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC) as well as the specifics of GCSE and IGCSE. For 11+ and CE I use a wide range of texts that are demanding and lend themselves to students learning how to explore linguisruc effects. I prefer to tutor at the student's home because I think students feel more secure and relaxed in their own home, however students can of course, come to me if this suits them better. Parents are welcome to sit in on sessions as long as the student feels comfortable with that. I am always happy to consider teaching friends at the same time to keep costs down (max group size 4 students), and am happy to negotiate an appropriate rate for group sessions. Such sessions take place in my home. Please note the following:-1. I charge a supplement of £ www.*** to travel upto 5 miles as well as a residents parking ticket if necessary or reimbursement for parking costs; 2. I require a minimum of 48 hours notice of cancellation or payment in full (except for travel time) under all circumstances including sudden www.*** possible I will offer a session later in the week but this is not always www.*** ; 3. On Sundays I only teach from my home; 4. For distances beyond 3 miles radius of my home, the minimum session is an hour and a half. This can be shared between siblings, or between subjects  eg maths and English, maths and French or English and French; 5. For distances beyond 5 miles radius of my home, I charge for one hour of my time, or an uber in both directions, whichever is cheaper, instead of £ www.*** These sessions are also a minimum of an hour and a half, which can be shared between siblings or subjects; 6. All GCSE and A level students are welcome to send me essays of upto 1000 words to comment on between sessions. There is no www.*** this service. Finally, if you would like references from current or previous students (or  their parents) please just ask.

I would recommend anyone to get Laura to help them with any essays they have. She would be equally splendid as a teacher in English writing skills or grammar, and I am very glad that I had the opportunity to work with her.
