Tutor Profile

Peter

Private Maths Tutor in Whitley Bay

I am a retired man who worked as a statistician in the civil service for 14 years and then as a research university medical statistician. For recreation I enjoy listening to classical music and have posted online some of my compositions. I am actively involved in a church.

Teaching Experience

I have done face to face and online tutoring since 1988.

Tutoring Approach

I establish a friendly relationship with the tutee (and their parents if they are a child) and I use worksheet questions appropriate to their ability. I aim to encourage them at all times. My worksheets include online material. In lessons I generally take the lead but may allow the tutee to take the lead. I set homework to aid learning and fluency with the topics.

Peter was great really helpful in our session, helped me understand how to break down and read equations properly to aid in answering questions.

Peter always spent time finding relevant resources in order for our son to improve his score on the higher GCSE maths paper. I was impressed when Peter would design worksheets/ homework to consolidate our son’s understanding of key tricky concepts. Our son felt more confident as a result. Peter will support our younger son with his maths GCSE course.

Peter was easy to deal with he was on time and charged a reasonable fair price. He's a very knowledgeable man he helped our son pre gcse maths exam just to refresh and go through some things he wasn't sure of I wouldn't hesitate in recommending him.
