About the tutor
I am presently in the UK and working as a Maths Lecturer and
have over fifteen years of experience in teaching Maths. I graduated at
the University of Greenwich with BSc Mathematics(st Class) and post
graduated from University of Canterbury Christ Church with PGCE
Mathematics. I have been quite passionate about teaching Maths from KS
to KS. I always mainly focus on for making the lessons very
interesting according to my learners` level of ability. I have a proven
record of good pass rates for my GCSE learners. My teaching
experience extends for over years but the last ten years have been
phenomenal in my teaching career. I have learned a lot about class
management through peer observation (learning from experienced
colleagues by observing their lessons) and through various CPDs. I have
developed a good understanding with students by making lessons engaging
and motivating. Realizing the importance of engaging students in their
learning I have used various techniques to that effect including
tactile activities, group discussions, differentiation to challenge
able students, contextualizing mathematical concepts and much
more. My teaching has been more inclined to a
student-centered approach.
I have been working with a diversity of students with different levels
of ability and needs. For example, some students need to do more on
past paper style questions on their own before checking the marks
scheme whereas some students prefer to check the proper method before
they try. I always give priority for their preference; my teaching
environment is always friendly; so students could ask as many
questions. This style gives them the pace to understand each and every
step. Particularly for AS and Level students, either techniques of
approaching the questions could differ question to question. But, I
always keep encouraging them to identify the theory behind the
questions. This kind of teaching style has been working very well and
most of my students got higher grades in their GCSE and A-Level exam.
Some of them studying at excellent(the University of Warwick,
University of Oxford) universities as well.
I have also learned and become an effective user of various IT systems
including: proSolution, proMonitor, moodle and others. Moreover, I have
learned, through CPD, and started using the educational websites
“mymaths” and “mathswatch” for
my lessons, which I find very effective, in setting tasks (homework) on
a weekly basis. I have a very good working knowledge of assessment and
teaching resources. Also I constantly use different online resources
such as
“Hegartymaths”,“Transummaths”,“mathsSpace”
and “mrbartonmaths” for revision classes.
