Qualified BA, ACA, PGCE QTS Teacher with 20+ Years Experience
Hello, my name is Patricia. I am a resourceful and enthusiastic, qualified maths teacher with over 20 years experience of home educating my own three children, teaching and private tuition. I am currently teaching mathematics up to GCSE at a large state secondary school and tutoring.
I am a qualified Chartered Accountant with a strong acumen and academic background. I have extensive experience in tutoring and business, achieving a successful career in both fields.
I teach in a relaxed, friendly and encouraging/nurturing atmosphere which enables pupils to reach their full potential. I look forward to meeting you.
I have a structured yet flexible approach to teaching, based on the individual student's capabilities and needs, maintaining a balance between student-centred and directed learning. I prepare engaging and challenging lessons and encourage my students at a pace suitable to their age, ability and aptitude. I am approachable, supportive and patient and tailor lessons appropriately. I motivate and encourage my students, enabling them to successfully achieve their goals.
I create a safe, inspiring learning environment for all my pupils, where students can express themselves, question, think and thereby achieve excellence. Each lesson is unique and I show how the variety of subjects within maths that I teach can be applied outside the classroom for enjoyment and understanding, rather than just teaching for the test. I believe all students should be encouraged to reach their full potential.
I have helped hundreds of students flourish and excel in mathematics. I am fully conversant with the syllabus for all examination boards and teach mathematics across the curriculum. I offer private tuition to home and school educated pupils and adult learners.
I have worked with pupils across a broad age, ability and needs spectrum. I teach pupils with disabilities, those with additional needs and pupils who do not have English as their first language.
Building strong foundations in number sense, problem-solving, and mathematical thinking for young learners.
Comprehensive support for GCSE mathematics, including exam preparation, revision techniques and confidence building.
Personalized individual sessions tailored to your child's specific needs, to help them learn and flourish in the way that best suits them.
