I engage students in the work and encourage them to adopt a 'can do' attitude by asking them pertinent questions. This ensures full participation and excellent results.

When I'm not in front of a computer I tend to be entertaining my lively dog. She never tires and enjoys finding sticks - the bigger the better, which is actually quite useful for the log burner. It's fortunate then that I like being outside too, and can often be found wielding a chainsaw or some other piece of equipment in an attempt to keep the slightly over-ambitious garden under some control.
I am a qualified maths teacher with over 20 years' experience. I really do enjoy tutoring because, working on a one-to-one basis, I see results and know from feedback that my input does make a difference. This gives me a great deal of job satisfaction!
Through this work I have amassed a large quantity of teaching resources which I am able to upload for lessons. I can talk to students at the appropriate level, adjusting things to help with understanding as and when necessary. I know, too, that listening is an equally important skill as it facilitates getting to the nub of the problem and unpicking things or addressing any misconceptions. I have experience developing online learning materials and am currently working with Mr Barton, of Mr Barton Maths .com fame, to develop new online resources and diagnostic questions. I have found this work useful in honing my ability to explain things in a clear, unambiguous way.
I have a full DBS check for peace of mind and am conscientious and reliable; I am not in the habit of letting anyone down.
Julia, Aaron’s growing love of maths and raising grades reflects what a great teacher you are. He is thinking of perhaps A level Maths and did so much better in his exam! Thank you!!
Julia has been amazing with Aaron - reliable, kind and encouraging. He has gone from bottom of the bottom set to a top set with her help! He enjoys maths now. Thank you Julia!
Thank you.
Julia clearly explained how to convert measurements and change units throughout the lesson. I now understand the topic much better and I know that I will be able to answer questions in class now.
In this lesson we covered 3 test papers and I am now able to do all my corrections.
Julia explained all the questions very well and I now understand how to do them.

Hi julia,
Good to hear from you again. I was just about to email you actually; I got an 8. Which I am so pleased about.
Thank you so much for tutoring me, it really helped me to achieve the grade I wanted.
Thank you

Hi Julia. Just wanted to say thank you for all your help. Without it I think J may have just given up completely. It has been a difficult day for J with her broken finger! But it is much better now that it has been strapped and she can write fine now (phew). I will of course let you know her results when they come in. I hope you will enjoy a long, relaxing summer holiday and maybe you would consider tutoring J's brother in the future? Thanks again. C
