My recent students are sons and daughters of top politians and industry CEO. They expect results and I deliver. I am an appointed Advanced Level Mathematics Examiner for 2015-2024. I have successfully marked the 2024 Pure Maths EDEXCEL Paper One. (I also have a certificate from EDEXCEL to confirm my successful marking of A Level Maths (MECHANICS ) from 2015 to 2018 )
My accuracy as an examiner has given me team leader status.
I am an Enthusiastic teacher of Mathematics, Further Maths and Physics to Advanced Level-and beyond.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge and help students to fulfil their true potential. I keep up to date with Physics news.
I was a tutor at Wiltshire College for 14 years, then taught Mathematics and Science in the field of Military Science at MOD for another 14 years to 2012. This has given me a superb appreciation of the practical applications of my subjects in many situations. For example Doppler Radar and sensor circuits to identify speed and direction of enemy targets.
I have experience of being an Examiner and Moderator in A Level Physics too.
My DBS Certificate has been renewed from 6th August 2024
I use ZOOM Pro for ONLINE lessons :
I also use BITPAPER which keeps all the lessons taught in one place. It’s a really innovative resource sharing environment that will cost you nothing. The student gains possession of lessons that can be referred to for revision and reinforcement of concepts.
I prefer tutoring in Advanced Level Maths/Further Maths/Stats/Physics.
Any exam Board for Physics : Edexcel, AQA, OCR WJEC
I recommend that students do extra work set by me which I will mark and give feedback to student and parent.

EXPERIENCE
At St Aldates College, Oxford, I taught A Level Maths and Physics for 6 years at an international Independent school.
At Wiltshire College, I was responsible for setting up a Mathematics Study Centre. I have a vast experience of one-to-one tuition and the negotiation of learning programs with indiviual students.
I have taught on a wide range of courses at Advanced Level: Pure Maths, Mechanics, Further Maths, Statistics and Physics.
GCSE Maths and Physics, BTEC Computing, HND Engineering, BEd Education
At the Ministry of Defefence, I was a subject matter expert in the following fields:
RADAR, Thermal Imaging, Ballistics, Missile Dynamics. I taught Military Science and Mathematics to Army Officers for 14 years.
I taught the use of EXCEL, SHAREPOINT and POWERPOINT. I write IOS Apple Mac IPHONE APPS.
I have many great feedback comments and I want to continue Tutoring because it is great fun,. All students have their own way of learning but I insist that they do extra work to consolidate their learning.
I have found that the students who succeed are the ones who consistently complete the work I recommend them to do.

Excellent references on request. Kind, caring and understanding tutor. Please get in contact if your child needs a boost, is finding school challenging or needs to gain confidence in their learning. All attainment levels- from children working below age related expectations to children who are more able.
Happy to chat through your requirements. As a mother of four, who also uses tutoring for my own children, I understand that tutoring is a significant financial commitment but, through one to one lessons, your child will be able to learn in a highly personalised and safe environment and will thrive.
High success rate of helping children to gain places at their school of choice.

I believe the best way to approach a difficult topic is to encourage discussion, before working with exam-style questions, focusing on method and exam technique. At 21 years of age, it wasn't long ago that I was at GCSE student myself and so I remember how frustrating it could be when a topic just wasn't clicking. I'd love to be able to help you feel more confident in your knowledge and ability, and help you build a love for the topics you're learning!
After achieving 3 A*s at A-Level, I was going to study medicine at Cambridge University. However, after serious deliberation, I decided to pursue my passion in acting and performing arts, and so am currently studying a BA in Professional Acting at Bristol Old Vic Theatre School.

I have been in the field of education for some years. I was trained for teaching at the Primary Education level, specialising in Teaching English as a Foreign Language at the University of Salamanca (Salamanca, Spain). Apart from spending 4 months in two Spanish schools developing my internship.
My focus lies on ensuring that children balance learning with fun in the classroom and building confidence in their own ability, maintaining a positive atmosphere, using creativity and following a communicative and meaningful approach.
As a teacher, I encourage and develop creativity in all children, ensuring each activity allows them to develop their confidence to be independent and active learners, utilising their knowledge and skills in order to achieve their best and learn about the world around them. My aim is to make my teaching as fun and interactive as possible, enabling their school experience to be meaningful, enjoyable and motivating. I celebrate both the successes of the children and the mistakes that form a vital part of a child’s learning as they explore their own talents and abilities. I have been developing a creative, engaging and enabling learning environment, both indoors and outdoors.

I went into teaching as it has always been my passion to try to make a difference in children's lives.
After careful consideration I decided to leave mainstream education and set up my own learning centre using kinaesthetic activities with play therapy.
The centre also offers meditation in order to promote wellbeing in body, mind and spirit.
I believe children are all individual and no two children are the same.
My motto is "when a flower doesn't bloom you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower"

I'm Chiara, I'm 23 years old and I aspire to become a Primary school teacher in England. I'm currently studying for my PGCE in Primary education at the University of the West of England.
I have a degree in English and French and am proficient in both languages. I have a IELTS certification that proves my excellent level of English.
I'm a big reader, one of my favorite ways to bond with children is reading to them and entertain conversations about books and their fictional worlds.
I consider myself resourceful and organised, kind and engaging. I love to have my days scheduled so that I can make the most of them.
I have been volunteering as a Scout leader for four years now, working with children aged 8 to 11. During this time I, along with the rest of my staff, set educational goals to focus on throughout the year, planned activities and attended training courses to improve our skills. Education is at the heart of the Scout movement. The time and energy that it took, and the skills I developed have prepared me to undertake this job. I now know how to engage students, identify their strongest abilities and those that need more work, design a program and pursue it and make learning fun. Thanks to my degree in English and French I have a complete understanding of both languages, cultures and literatures. My experiences as a nanny and tutor to primary school aged children have also inspired me to choose this career path.
In conclusion, my experiences working with children have inspired me and given me the skills needed to be a well-organized, nurturing teacher.

Approach to Tutoring
My approach to tutoring is targeted, efficient, bespoke, and relaxed. I believe that a confident learner is a successful learner, and I strive to create a supportive environment where students feel encouraged and motivated to learn. I tailor my lessons to each student's ability, structuring my questions and teaching methods to meet their individual needs.
Techniques and Teaching Methodology
I use a range of techniques to help students understand and retain complex mathematical concepts. These include:
Breaking down topics into manageable chunks Using real-life examples to illustrate mathematical principles Encouraging active learning through problem-solving and discussion Providing regular feedback and encouragement Focusing on exam technique and rubric to ensure students know what examiners are looking for
Typical Length of a Lesson
My lessons typically last 60 minutes, although this can be adjusted to suit individual students' needs.
Qualifications and Experience
I am a maths graduate from Aberystwyth University and a current data scientist in Bristol. I have experience helping 4 students achieve A*/A grades in Maths GCSE, and I am familiar with the major GCSE Maths exam boards, including Edexcel, AQA, and OCR.
Who are my Lessons For?
My lessons are designed for GCSE Maths students in the UK, typically aged 14-16. I am particularly suited to students who need help building confidence in maths, or who require additional support to achieve their desired grade.
