I am a passionate and experienced educator with a strong background in mathematics, finance, and data analysis. With a BSc in Mathematics and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS), I have spent over a decade teaching and mentoring students, fostering a deep understanding of mathematical concepts. My professional journey has also included roles in financial analysis and pricing consultancy, equipping me with a practical, real-world perspective on the applications of mathematics. My goal as a tutor is to inspire confidence, critical thinking, and a genuine appreciation for the subject.
I have extensive experience in both classroom teaching and one-on-one tutoring. As a former Assistant Headteacher and Mathematics Faculty Leader, I played a key role in curriculum development, student assessment, and exam preparation. My background also includes:
Over 10 years teaching GCSE and A-Level Mathematics.
Leading student intervention programs to improve academic performance.
Mentoring and coaching students for university entrance exams and mathematical competitions.
Private tutoring experience, focusing on personalised learning strategies.
In addition to my educational career, I have worked as a Pricing Analyst and Consultant, utilising mathematical principles in data analysis, financial forecasting, and strategic decision-making. This industry experience allows me to provide students with practical applications of mathematics, making abstract concepts more tangible and engaging.
My teaching approach is tailored to each student’s needs, fostering both conceptual understanding and problem-solving skills. I emphasise:
Personalised Learning: Assessing each student's strengths and weaknesses to develop a customised study plan.
Interactive Methods: Using real-world examples, visual aids, and problem-solving techniques to enhance comprehension.
Exam Strategy: Teaching time management, question analysis, and structured solutions to maximise exam performance.
Building Confidence: Encouraging a growth mindset, resilience, and logical reasoning to tackle challenging problems.
Technology Integration: Utilising tools such as Excel, Power BI, and online platforms to enhance mathematical learning.
My aim is not only to help students excel academically but also to develop a lifelong appreciation for mathematics and its real-world applications.
