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]

    • Atanas did a brilliant job on my bathroom renovation. Nothing was too much trouble and they were clean and tidy. Highly recommend.
    • If we accept what the OP has written, and it does seem credible, the father did not respond to the incident appropriately. His child was out of his line of sight when the OP was hit from behind by the child on a bike. Many of us, having been startled like this, might express some displeasure. Rather than a sincere and concerned apology, it sounds as though the father instead attempted to paint the OP as the problem, even laughing at them. I don't know what kind of message that would send to his child but doubt it is a good one. 
    • I’m in exactly the same position.  They badgered me for ages to have a water meter fitted.  I’d prevaricated simply because it’s so tedious dealing with these people but eventually gave in when the communications became increasingly frequent and aggressive and it was done in March 2023. I just assumed I’d then be charged on actual consumption but I received an email this morning with details of the latest price increase and it said, “Since your property doesn’t have a water meter, your bill is calculated in advance based on fixed rates rather than water usage”.  I’m sure they’ve realised I’d be paying much less if they billed me on actual consumption but have not gone out of their way to inform me.  Trawling through their website, for me anyway, is an unutterably tedious chore, but I think I’ll now have to work up the energy over the weekend to pick up the phone on Monday morning and have a word with them.
