I cover KS3 to A-Level and provide individual lessons tailored to each students needs in a relaxed learning atmosphere.My belief is that everyone can get a good grade in maths with the right training. I believe in creating a calm, positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking any question they have.I base my lessons around the students requirements to enable them to feel confident in their next maths lesson. This can range from help with their homework or revision techniques to ensuring they have a good grasp in all areas of the Mathematics syllabus.My strategy is to fill all knowledge gaps as quickly as possible and then move on to cover the syllabus to ensure the student has no misconceptions and understands the material.
