11 plus exam and the Norther Ireland transfer test specialist Teacher and headteacher of 27 years experience. Building confidence, delivers success!
My best subject in school had always been maths. I continued studying maths at a university level. I have taught KS3 Maths for a couple of years in Greece. My first tutorial was a GCSE student that scored highly in her final maths exam. I prepare lessons meticulously. I give priority to practical worksheets and revision. I apply certain methodology as well. I aspire to inspire my students and make things enjoyable some times (as maths can be boring at times:-)
As a practicing teacher of over forty years my subjects are English, Mathematics and Study Skills lessons. This has required me to teach to the full range of students (P5 - adult) publically, privately, on-line and organise/lecture examination revision courses during Easter. I am currently retired but act as a substitute teacher delivering Mathematics and English to local schools when required.
I often say that all things equal I would have been a maths teacher! Goal-orientated but supportive, I have aided in success for my students at different levels and am keen to continue to help where I can with a view to improve grade outlooks.
Experience teaching GCSE, A-Level and University modules. 6 x GCSE successes so far, including special needs requirements. 1 x A-Level student, whose grades improved ahead of the COVID-19 halt on exams. 1 x success in University of whom I am particularly proud, just clutching a 2:1 with some help and now in an excellent graduate position.
Maths isn't a scary subject, it's a process; teach kids a repeatable process over a period of time and they'll surprise anyone. Patience is key as a tutor; the goal is to empower the student to reach their goals and beyond. Friendly work environment allows the student to relax and concentrate on the tasks at hand.
Maths and History lessons in Belfast, UK.
I completed my Masters degree in Applied Mathematics and Physics in 2019 (creating a simulation of an exploding star along the way) and know first-hand how difficult STEM subjects can feel - it's not just about mastering the content; it's also about developing effective exam strategies to maximize your marks. I understand these challenges first-hand, and now I'm eager to show students how they can conquer them too!
Doing well in these subjects isn't about being "clever", it's about being strategic and working smart. With a few simple changes and useful guidance, I have helped students go from Es to As. The feedback from parents speaks for itself!

12 years of educational experience with a SEND/SEMH specialism.
I have worked internationally teaching students of primary level or age, supporting them in their academic journey.
While I still maintain a teaching role, I have opened The Education House Tuition to support students near and far with their learning.

Award-winning Online Maths Tutor by NTP (UK) , helping students develop independence, motivation towards learning maths and conceptual understanding.
I am a maths teacher in a popular school in the UK with an MSc in Engineering, and experience in teaching secondary and primary students over physical and online settings.
I believe in student-centered maths learning with independence. I already have experience in assessing students' onboarding and selecting the support plans at ''Global Edtech''. Moreover, I have also worked on SENs (dyslexia, dyscalculia, autism) students that will support this role. I always encourage my students to have a conceptual understanding over the procedural understanding, this would definitely encourage students for their effort, and hence each student will get their own motivation, thus having room for development as well. Having learned different pedagogies of maths learning, I believe I would be a good fit with the strong maths understanding and the experience.

I am a qualified teacher based in Oxford with a first class master's in physics from Cambridge University and a PGCE from Oxford University. I have eight years of experience as a teacher and I am enhanced DBS checked. I am currently offering a free taster lesson for students in the UK.
Combining a deep understanding of my subject with a wealth of teaching experience, I love helping students understand their subject, succeed in it, and enjoy it - not only excelling in exams, but mastering and enjoying the subject as well. By developing a thorough understanding of their subject as well as familiarity with exam questions and exam technique, I aim to help students grasp their subject in a way that makes sense to them, enabling both enjoyment and success in their studies.
I offer bespoke online physics, maths, further maths, and chemistry tuition tailored to the needs of my students. I can do A-level, GCSE, and KS3, and I am also able to offer training for the maths and physics olympiads. Typical lessons involve a mixture of exam questions coaching combined with interactive teaching on areas students find difficult, however I am happy to adjust my approach to students’ needs.

I am a graduate who has finished studying Maths with Statistics at Royal Holloway University and I have good maths and science teaching skills. I know what techniques are needed for students to thrive and to have a good learning environment. Along with that, I know what techniques are needed to answer exam questions, so that they can do really well, and for them to find their true potential, but most importantly, for students to have a positive and enthusiastic approach to learning. In terms of teaching, I can teach maths, biology and chemistry at KS3, GCSE and A levels. I teach physics at GCSE and at KS3 level. I have 4 years experience as a private tutor and I teach students in the best possible standards as possible as I am very patient and I understand students difficulties and needs and therefore allow them to succeed.

I have won three awards for excellence and a superb tutor. In addition, I have successfully employed various teaching approach/ strategy when teaching and found that this led to many positive student outcomes, such as students getting A grades in A level Maths and Further Maths.

Being a versatile individual, I have had the opportunity to teach students who functioned below-, on- and above target grade. I have been very successful at accommodating diverse students needs by facilitating all styles of learners, offering individualised and integrating effective materials.
I have had awards and rewards for getting students to get excellent grades in GCSE and A level. See attached.

I always take a student-centered approach to teaching by asking students to bring their notes and talk me through the topics they feel are most difficult. My aim as your tutor would be to identify your strengths and weaknesses and build upon these appropriately. I would incorporate past paper questions very early in the curriculum to assess how well a child can apply their knowledge to answering exam questions. This will ensure that by the time the exams are sat the student will be fully prepared.
Rest assured you are in good hands.

Helping Students Build Confidence, Achieve Success & Unlock Their Potential
As a qualified UK teacher with 15 years of experience, I specialize in Primary, Secondary, and GCSE education across maths, English, and science. Holding a PGCE and QTS, I have taught in mainstream schools, special educational needs (SEN) provisions, and diverse learning environments, ensuring that students of all backgrounds and abilities receive the support they need to succeed.
I have extensive experience working with students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other special educational needs (SEN), using tailored strategies to help them overcome learning barriers. Every child learns differently, and my individualized approach ensures that each student gains confidence, develops a deep understanding of key concepts, and excels academically.
Why Choose My Approach? ✅ Personalized, Student-Centered Learning
Many students struggle in traditional classroom settings because they don’t receive individual attention. I take a tailored approach, designing lesson plans that cater to each student’s unique learning style. Whether they need reinforcement in certain subjects or are preparing for major exams, my structured yet flexible lessons ensure maximum engagement and retention.
✅ Building Confidence & Independence
Success in academics isn’t just about getting the right answers—it’s about building confidence and problem-solving skills. Many students fear maths or struggle with English because they lack self-belief. I focus on instilling a growth mindset, helping students feel capable, motivated, and ready to take on challenges.
✅ Expert Exam Preparation – GCSE, A-Level & Beyond
Preparing for GCSEs, A-Levels, and entrance exams can be stressful for both students and parents. My tutoring approach includes: ✔ Effective revision strategies – Teaching students how to study smarter, not harder. ✔ Time management techniques – Helping them structure revision for maximum efficiency. ✔ Exam technique coaching – Training students on how to approach different types of questions. ✔ Regular progress assessments – Identifying strengths and areas for improvement.

Having taught in SEN provisions and mainstream schools, I understand the unique challenges faced by students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and processing difficulties. I provide: ✔ Sensory-friendly learning techniques to help students focus and stay engaged. ✔ Structured lessons with clear routines to reduce anxiety and build consistency. ✔ Patience, encouragement, and a positive learning environment where students feel valued and supported.
