11+ and GCSE maths tutoring - 1st class graduate with an award winning dissertation on maths teaching

Hi! I have recently graduated from the University of Sussex with a first class honours, and am looking to tutor maths for years 7-11s.

 

I know many people find maths very daunting, so my focus is on building confidence and deep understanding as opposed to teaching students how to memorise formulas.

 

My dissertation thesis was an evaluation of this approach to teaching mathematics amongst students aged 11-16, and won the SAGE publications award for highest thesis mark and outstanding application of statistical methods. It also found this to be the most effective method of teaching, so I am really excited to help students become more confident in and in turn effectively improve their maths skills.

 

Maths is, and has always been, my passion - I did maths, further maths, and statistics GCSEs, as well as maths A-level, and of course my dissertation thesis on maths teaching. My degree was in Psychology, so I also love helping people, and really want to help build children's confidence and deal with the stress of both school and exams.

 

Please get in touch via email if you are looking for a friendly, passionate maths tutor. My email address is [email protected]

    • For some strange reason, hubby likes to spend 'big' on family cards birthday and Christmas. I think it may have stemmed from his mother- she equated money with status and was a bit of a snob!  She was also quite eccentric - we asked for a suitcase one year and got a set of 4. One year she gave hubby the equivalent of a hearing aid - it was a device to hear bird song. Nobody we know send expensive cards. We have a twice yearly set of cards from the Foot and Mouth Painting Artists and have done for the last 30 plus years. I think they are around £12 for set of 10  - cannot remember what we paid this winter but they are fantastic value and beautiful paintings.  One of the best places around to buy cards is the Fair Trade Centre at Christ Church Barry Road. Fantastic selection with a starting price of £1.30.
    • I had to renew my licence - took photocopy of my current licence and also my renewal application and posted everything off. Within 10 days received my new licence. My old licence was due to run out in January so I submitted the renewal early December. 
    • I cannot remember who ran/organised the original ED LETS. They had meetings at the ED Community Centre every so often. I think there were about 20 - 25 people involved.
    • That looks consistent with what I saw when I checked a few weeks ago, after someone raised a fresh thread asking about the progress.  I was about to post here asking if anyone could help with what seemed a bit of  a  mystery.  The planning register didn't show the application as decided.  I couldn't find any minutes of the committee meeting that James reported on last year, or any mention in any other minutes of the application.  The meeting was itself  flagged in the meetings schedule as MOVED (presumably to another date).   Incidentally, I remember one of the atttached planning documents being a report on the financial prospects then pertaining.  As far as I understood and remember it seemed to show the construction for sale of the buildings a ? poor prospect for the investment.  I'm no expert though.
