In my online maths and functional skills tutoring sessions, I focus on providing individualized support tailored to each student’s unique needs. Whether 1:1 or in a small group setting, my sessions are designed to fill the specific gaps in understanding that students may have, ensuring they can build a strong foundation in mathematics.

I have extensive experience working with students with Special Educational Needs (SEN), so I understand the importance of a patient, adaptable approach. Each week, I offer one-hour sessions that can be either student-led, focusing on areas they find challenging, or structured to reinforce and recall lessons from their school week.

Engagement is key to effective learning, so I incorporate a variety of teaching methods, including interactive games, discussions, and clear examples, often presented through a PowerPoint. These tools make learning more accessible and enjoyable, helping students to grasp difficult concepts more easily.

Problem-solving is a critical part of my sessions, especially for students aiming to reach higher levels of achievement. By working through practical problems, students develop their reasoning skills and confidence, which are essential for success in maths.

Overall, my goal is to provide a supportive, engaging, and effective learning environment where each student can progress at their own pace, build their skills, and achieve their full potential in mathematics and functional skills.
