GCSE Maths Tutor having 12 years experience

I am a qualified teacher from Sheffield Hallam University having PGCE Maths with QTS . I have 12 years of teaching experience. My good communication skills, ability to adapt lessons to what works best for individual pupils, and effective mentoring skills make me a very effective and successful tutor. I encourage and motivate pupils to take a responsible and conscientious attitude to study by making it relevant to real-life situations. I can offer a personalised learning programme for every individual pupil bridging the gap in learning. I understand that building a good rapport and effectively breaking the ice is very important when creating and maintaining a positive learning environment. As well as teaching maths I am able to teach accountancy to university degree level. I believe in regular and purposeful retrieval practice of what has previously been taught to help consolidate the material and let pupils remember what they have learned. I aim to build spaced practise as an integral part of my teaching style, to ensure pupils have repeated opportunities to practise, with my appropriate guidance and support. I explicitly teach metacognitive strategies to learners on how to plan, monitor and evaluate their performance to support independence and academic success. I have the ability to teach a particular concept in a variety of different ways, showing patience while delivering the lesson, actively listening to a pupil’s concerns, and providing my subject knowledge and expertise to make them understand difficult concepts. I can use different colours, pictures, videos, highlighters to impart information which makes my online classroom interactive and engaging for students, encouraging them to type, draw and annotate, directly responding to learning prompts. This makes learning more memorable for my students.
