Mathematics lessons in Colchester, UK.

Mathematics lessons in Colchester, UK.
I have considerable experience teaching in the UK and in various other countries around the world within Africa, Asia and the Caribbean in a variety of subjects from A Level to Key Stage 1. Most of my teaching has been at Key Stages 4 and 5 in Secondary Schools in the UK but I have also taught Primary children in preparation for Key Stage 1 and Key Stage 2 SATs. I am a very passionate educator and believe in the importance of inspiring young people to develop a love of learning. It is so important to use any prior knowledge or experience to help students, whatever age, to understand, question and think about the facts, not just to learn them. I have an excellent track record when it comes to preparing students for exams - whether these be A Level or GCSE exams or Key Stage tests, and although my teaching goes far beyond 'teaching to the test' I do recognise the importance, particularly in a tutoring situation, of doing whatever I can to help young people to reach their full potential and achieve the best grades possible. Whatever your particular requirements, I will be very happy to help and support you to the best of my ability.
I have 5 years teaching experience in mathematics and physics. I also run a coaching and tuition agency in my hometown.
Motivated, organized individual with a strong academic background in Math, science, and engineering. Seeking a teaching career to inspire and support students in achieving their goals. Eager to contribute knowledge and effort.
As an experienced tutor with expertise in mathematics, ICT, and computer science, I am dedicated to instilling confidence in my students. With a Masters degree in Computer Science, I bring legitimacy and professionalism to my tutoring practice
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.

I am second in Maths at a secondary school, with 7 years experience teaching and many years tutoring at a variety of abilities. I use an assessment to form a personalised learning checklist, which shows students their strengths and weaknesses. I then form a plan to work through the weaknesses, which allows parents to monitor progress.
My passion and expertise lie in phonics and reading, it's my passion to teach children to read! Close second is writing, I love to help children realise their potential and unlocking their imagination in creative writing whilst meeting curriculum demands of spelling, punctuation and grammar.
With 5 plus years spotting and closing gaps in childrens mathematical knowledge I can confidently perforate children for the end of key stage assessments. I have years of experience of not only supporting children with additional learning needs but also helping them feel success and pride in their learning where ever they are.
Mathematics and Economics lessons in Colchester, UK.
I believe in fostering a deep understanding of the subjects I teach rather than memorisation. My approach involves breaking down complex concepts into simpler, more manageable parts, allowing students develop a better understanding and build a solid foundation in the subject. I encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills, preparing students not just for exams but for real-world applications of their knowledge. As a tutor, I believe in empowering my students to become independent learners and critical thinkers. My approach focuses not only on academic success but also on fostering a passion for lifelong learning. I aim to create a positive and motivating environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and exploring their curiosity while acquiring knowledge.
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.

ABOUT TUITION AND I:
Methods of Teaching:
The vast majority of my tuition is learner led, meaning that each lesson evolves organically. Adhering to rigid lesson plans assumes a preconception of how to teach a certain topic to a learner. However, every learner is unique and should be treated as such, and so every lesson also needs to be unique.
At B. Tuition, it is about finding whatever works for your child. For example, if your child is competent with methods but struggles significantly with confidence we can work on a particular topic before it is taught in the classroom. That way the content of every lesson she walks into is already comprehended and ready for application, and she can then use the lesson to practise and reinforce. This builds her confidence. Lessons cease to be a worry and she can enjoy the www.***
With different learners it may be more beneficial to reinforce and consolidate work that has been taught in class. If your child is sitting exams within the next 6-9 months, it would be more valuable to review and work through past exam papers, identifying where marks were dropped, evaluating why and re-teach relevant topics. Past papers would, of course, be set for homework by me.
Why tuition is so necessary:
One contemporary issue of the education system is that although many secondary teachers are talented in the subjects they teach, they do not appreciate the struggle that some of us face if a subject does not come naturally. I have spent years honing my craft into making complex secondary maths and science and achievable for everyone.
Since 2011, I have been able to change the lives of hundreds of students, facilitating them in attaining their educational goals. If you are in need of private tuition, please give me a call and we can talk a little more about your specific requirments and how I can be of service.
A little more about me:
I have been tutoring since 2011, beginning as a teaching assistant for Kip McGrath Chelmsford South and progressing on to be a tutor at Kip McGrath Shenfield. My degree; Bachelor of Arts in Educational Studies, Upper II with Honours 2014 has allowed me to access the knowledge and understanding of learning and child psychology that is implemented in every lesson. Since then, I have worked as a secondary supply teacher, Kip McGrath tutor, private tutor, SENCo, ENCo, intervention specialist, behavioural consultant and a classroom teacher.

Safeguarding Policy:
All lessons are to be conducted in a family room, with the door open at all times. A responsible adult needs to be at home throughout the entire duration of the lesson and within earshot. This is for mutual safety and security.
I have an Enhanced DBS check, registered with the update service and happy to give my consent and certificate number to any parent to check the status of my DBS online as a certificate is only as good as the day it's printed.
Mileage is calculate at £1 per mile over 5 miles from Flitch Green. So if you live in the centre of Braintree, it's www.*** miles from Flitch Green so my rate would £45 for tuition and £4 totallying £49 for the hour.
Thank you for reading and I'll look forward to hearing from you soon!
I worked at a primary school in Nigeria, teaching kids under 12 Mathematics in the year 2022.
Hi! I'm Laura, a qualified Primary school teacher living in central Colchester. I have experience of teaching across the Primary age range (ages 4-11) in a range of different schools and have recent experience of working in a Special Needs school (ages 5-16). I believe that confidence and relationship building is key to helping pupils develop their skills and giving them the space and time to talk things through is so important to help them understand in a way that makes sense to them.
Hi there! I'm Nikkyy, a super enthusiastic math tutor with 2 years of experience, and I just love making math awesome for kids and students aged 11 to 14.
I totally get that math can sometimes be tricky, but that's where I come in! In my two years of teaching, I've learned all the cool ways to make math fun and easy to understand. I believe every kid is unique, so my lessons are all about finding what works best for them.
Why pick me? Well, I'm not just passionate about math; I've seen students go from feeling stuck to saying, "I got this!" Plus, I can do one-on-one sessions or group lessons online, and I can even get this certificate thingy (DBS) to make sure everything is super safe.
Got a few slots open now, or we can plan for September 2023. Shoot me an email at ***@*** and let's talk about making math a blast for your awesome learner!
Cheers,
nNikhila
