Scott

Fully qualified maths teacher, with experience working at an ofsted outstanding school. I teach KS3 and GCSE maths in the East Midlands, as well as online. I have Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) and a PGCE in mathematics.

I achieved A* grades in Maths and Further Maths at GCSE and A-level respectively, before studying Chemistry at the University of St Andrews, one of the top Universities in the country. I then studied at Loughborough University, where I graduated with 1st class honours. Upon graduation, I pursued a career in teaching and completed my teacher training year at the University of Leicester. I achieved qualified teacher status (QTS) and a PGCE in mathematics, receiving the award for academic excellence in my teaching cohort. I then took up a job at an Ofsted Outstanding school, where I remain to this day. I have over 1,500 classroom hours teaching mathematics. If you are interested or want to know more, please get in touch!

Tutoring Approach

I run lessons in-person in the East Midlands area as well as online. Lessons are typically 1 hour long, but I am happy to arrange 90 minute or 2 hour lessons. I teach KS3 and GCSE mathematics.

How we run the lessons is up to you, and is an ongoing conversation between myself, the parents and the child! But broadly speaking lessons fall into three categories, supporting the learning a child does in school by focusing on topics they cover in class, preparing your child for an exam, for example GCSE prep, or going back to basics and building a strong mathematical foundation by following a mathematics curriculum. I set weekly homework for my students.
