I am a certified mathematics teacher with 15 years of classroom experience, as well as a mother of three children. Combining my professional training with my personal experience as a parent, I understand that every student learns differently and at their own pace.

My teaching approach focuses on breaking down complex mathematical concepts into manageable, easy-to-understand steps. I aim to build both academic skills and confidence in my students, creating a supportive and patient learning environment. Whether your child needs help catching up, understanding homework, or preparing for exams, I am dedicated to helping them achieve their academic goals.

With over 15 years of teaching experience across various schools in Birmingham, I have held several key leadership roles that have deepened my expertise in mathematics education. My background includes serving as the Head of the Mathematics Department at a Birmingham secondary school and as an Assistant Subject Leader at a leading grammar school. These positions have allowed me to develop effective curricula and lead teaching teams to high academic standards.

In addition to my leadership roles, I have specialized qualifications and professional experience that benefit my students directly:

• Edexcel Examiner: My role as an exam marker for Edexcel gives me first-hand knowledge of assessment criteria, marking schemes, and the common mistakes students make on national exams.
• SENDCo Training: My training as a Special Educational Needs and Disabilities Coordinator equips me with the skills to adapt my teaching methods for students with diverse learning needs, ensuring mathematics is accessible to everyone.
• NPQ (National Professional Qualification): This leadership qualification reflects my commitment to professional development and high-quality educational practices.

My tutoring approach is student-centered, focusing on building both conceptual understanding and academic confidence. Drawing on my 15 years of classroom experience, I adapt my teaching methods to match each student’s unique learning style and pace. I break down complex mathematical topics into clear, manageable steps, ensuring students grasp the foundational concepts before moving on to advanced problems.

Additionally, I utilise my background as an Edexcel examiner to teach practical exam techniques, helping students understand how to structure their answers to secure maximum marks. My goal is to create a supportive, pressure-free environment where students feel comfortable asking questions, overcoming their challenges, and developing a positive attitude toward mathematics.
