About me

When I first start working with a student, it is important to assess ability by working through problems. There are two key aspects to bring success: (1) understanding the method, (2) practice makes perfect. My teaching approach ensures that these are both well met.

When I first start working with a student, it is important to assess ability by working through problems. There are two key aspects to bring success: (1) understanding the method, (2) practice makes perfect. My teaching approach ensures that these are both well met. With online one-to-one tuition (over zoom), a personalised google classroom page is set up for the student. Lesson notes are uploaded after each lesson along with homework. The students' homework is then to be uploaded and marks are recorded online. It is a fantastic way to keep all notes, homework and assessments in one place - and to record each student's performance and improvements.

121 tuition allows us to focus on the key topics areas the student is finding more difficult, whether this is understanding the essentials to keep up at school or pushing for an A*.

I also offer group classes at 11+/entrance exam level and GCSE level, please enquire for more information.

I personally am an incredibly bubbly and passionate Maths tutor with an excellent success rate in examinations at all levels. I absolutely love teaching the subject and have a wide range of experience:

private tutor (inc. Primary, 11+, GCSE, A-Level, University)
university tutorial sessions
college lecturer
exam invigilator
academic mentor for students who have learning difficulties (predominantly autism)

I cannot recommend Katherine highly enough, she is amazing! We moved our twin girls in year 5 to a new school to be told that they may not pass their GCSE maths as they were so far behind. Not what you want to hear as a parent and pretty harsh as they were only 9 years old. We hired Katherine and not only did they sail through GCSE’s with top grades, they have gone on to do A-level Maths and achieved an A and A* each. Katherine is excellent at explaining maths to kids of all abilities so that they can understand and can perform in exams with greater confidence. She is calm, supportive, fun and approachable and now the girls have finished their A levels and are away at University, they are missing both her and her lessons.

Katherine is a great maths tutor. Katherine taught me for around two years and offered to come back to me after she had her daughter, to help me finish my GCSEs as it got delayed due to covid. She really adapted her teaching to a way of learning and my preference of best understanding the questions and topic. Katherine is very patient, kind and friendly which makes the tutor sessions very enjoyable. I would highly recommend Katherine for being your maths tutor.
