Engineering Science MA

When not tutoring, I spend a lot of time with my 2 daughters and 4 grandchildren, as well as supporting my Mother-in-Law.

To keep fit, I try to run several times per week and I am a volunteer with the local Parks Trust, organising free, monthly fun runs for runners of all ages and abilities.

I am a Governor of the local Primary School, where I am Chair of the Finance and Personnel Committee and also subject link Governor for Maths, DT and Science.

I have always enjoyed Maths. At school I gained an A Grade at A Level. Studying for my Engineering Degree involved a lot more Maths and my career in Communications and IT Management required me to keep at least some of my Maths skills alive.

Since retiring, I have taken up tutoring, as a way to keep enjoying Maths, whilst also helping others to gain an essential skill.

Over the past 6 years, I have successfully delivered over 300 lessons online and a further 50 face-to-face. I have consistently received positive feedback from my students, several of whom have been pleasantly surprised by their exam results.

I take time to diagnose each student's barriers to learning and address them by providing different ways of looking at any topic.

I have a large collection of past Exam Papers and worksheets and will find more resources, whenever I need them to tailor a lesson to my students.
