Maths is an amazing subject and key to so many things we do in our modern lives. It’s a core subject that opens many doors, and in our increasingly technology filled world, mathematical skills are becoming ever more important.
Every student I work with has a different understanding of mathematics and needs a different approach. Some find maths a series of terrifying numbers and impossible formulas, while others find it a fascinating subject to be explored. My strong belief is that exams are not just about learning topics, but about applying those topics to problem solving questions and understanding the importance of exam technique.
The key to my students’ success is using my many years of teaching experience to unlock their full potential and bring the best out in them. I love showing the fun side of maths and demonstrating that a problem isn’t just a set of terrifying numbers but an enjoyable challenge! Whether it is coaxing a number-shy student to take a brave step forward and discover some of the beauty of number magic. Or working alongside a talented student who needs an extra boost of confidence to discover their true ability.
