Teaching Experience

I have over 16 years of experience teaching Mathematics at various key stages, from KS2 to KS5. Assistant head of Mathematics in charge of planning and teaching key stage 3 for over three years.

Tutoring Approach

With extensive experience in the field, I employ diverse pedagogical approaches and am attuned to the unique learning styles of each pupil. I meticulously plan and deliver lessons tailored to meet the individual needs of students.

My approach is not focused solely upon improving subject knowledge and examination performance but also on helping students become more confident and independent learners.

I help students develop effective study habits and functional skills, including revision strategies, organisation, and time management. With my experience in marking exam papers and the insight I gain from the examiner’s report, I carefully prepare students to understand exactly how to answer questions in order to maximise marks and improve their learning outcomes.

In the past year, my students have achieved outstanding results in their GCSE and A-Level examinations.

Veronica has been a wonderful tutor to my son, with her assistance my son was able to improve from a grade 3 to 5 in maths.

Tutor response

Thanks for your feedback Harmonee, it a pleasure tutoring your son.

First Tutors

Veronica has been tutoring my son maths weekly for an hour; started in Year 8 and now in Year 9. There’s been an improvement in his confidence and performance since starting his tutor session. She’s punctual, teaches at the right pace, sets regular homework and overall a great tutor.

First Tutors

Veronica is reliable and a very good tutor. My daughter has learnt topics that she wasn't fully understanding before. My daughter is now preparing for her GCSE's.

Veronica has been tutoring our son (currently in Year 7) for the past few months, and we’ve already seen a clear improvement in his confidence and performance in maths. His grades in class tests have gone up noticeably in a short time, and it’s been great to see him more engaged with the subject. She travels to our home for lessons, which makes things much easier for us, and she’s always punctual and professional. Our son really likes her teaching style; she's patient, clear in her explanations, and focuses on the areas he’s finding tricky at school. Veronica also teaches GCSE and A Level maths, so she has a solid grasp of the curriculum and knows how to explain things in a way that's easy to understand. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, knowledgeable, and approachable maths tutor in the area.

My daughter has seen Veronica for half a term now and we have been very happy to date. Veronica took time to understand the best way to work with our daughter at the beginning - something we appreciated. Our daughter is happy to attend tutoring and has said the tutoring is helping. We have also appreciated Veronica's flexibility when our daughter was sick one week. We look forward to continuing to work with Veronica moving forward.

First Tutors

She is very helpful, she helped my son who’s in year 10 and moved him from foundation to higher. I highly recommend her. Thank you very much Veronica. Matthew’s mum

Veronica has been teaching our son maths for 9 months now. He is in year 7 (KS3) and on the autism spectrum, needing help to catch up to his peers after falling behind at primary school. She initially carried out an assessment of his abilities, identified weaknesses and started working on those. She was also able to adapt her approach to meet his specific needs (regular breaks, visual cues etc.). He is now working at an age appropria**Contact Detail Removed**vel in several areas of maths where he was significantly behind before (fractions, negative numbers, angles as well as general arithmetic.). We would highly recommend Veronica.

First Tutors

I got in contact with Veronica for some intensive maths support for my son in the run up to his GCSE's, as he didn't do as well in his mocks as he'd hoped. Veronica quickly identified what aspects in particular he struggled with and worked with him on these areas, as well as making sure he continued to have a well rounded understating. She also constructively challenged him where she felt he could be trying harder and this was really helpful. I'd recommend Veronica

First Tutors

Veronica has delivered and excelled on everything we were hoping for. Her interaction with our daughter (GCSE Maths) has been exactly what we were looking for. Relationships are important and our daughter has found the way and manner in which Veronica explains and teaches to be very beneficial. We have always found her to be polite, professional, punctual and a very good communicator. Reliability is excellent too - just wish we had used her earlier !!

First Tutors

Veronica has tutored our Daughter for 3 weeks now and is an excellent teacher who is friendly, good with our Daughter and is doing really well.

Tutor response

Thank you Carlie. Your daughter is working really well and I believe she will excel in the subject.

First Tutors

Veronica has been tutoring my 14year old son in Maths for around 6 weeks and so far I have been very pleased. My son has had a few tutors in the past, but this is the first time he has been really happy and tells me that Veronica explains things very well.

First Tutors

Veronica has been tutoring my son for approximately 6 weeks and I can honestly say that they have just clicked together and he is enjoying his lessons. My son likes her teaching style and finds her easy to talk too and ask questions. As a parent I find her feedback informative, clear and concise and I feel that we have a clear path in my sons maths journey.
