Janet

Private Maths Tutor in Horley

GCSE, IGCSE & A-LEVEL MATHS TUTOR | 15+ YEARS’ EXPERIENCE | HORLEY & ONLINE I am an experienced Maths tutor with over 15 years of Maths tutoring experience, specialising in GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level Maths. I also teach Functional Skills Maths. I work with students across a wide range of abilities, from those who need help building confidence and securing a GCSE pass to students aiming for the highest GCSE and A-Level grades. I have a BSc in Mathematics and offer calm, structured lessons online or face-to-face at my home in Horley. I explain difficult concepts in clear, manageable steps and tailor my teaching to each student's individual needs. My aim is not only to improve results, but to help students develop genuine understanding, confidence and independence in Maths.

Teaching Experience

I have extensive experience teaching GCSE, IGCSE and A-Level Mathematics across a range of examination boards, including AQA, Edexcel and OCR. Over the years, I have helped students build confidence in Maths, achieve and exceed their target grades, prepare effectively for examinations, and develop strong problem-solving and exam-technique skills. I work with students across a wide range of abilities, including those who have struggled with Maths in the past as well as students aiming for the highest grades. I provide extensive resources, including worksheets, topic-based practice, exam questions and past papers.

Tutoring Approach

My approach is friendly, patient and supportive. I believe every student can make progress in Maths when concepts are explained clearly and at the right pace. Lessons are tailored to each student's needs and typically include building understanding of key topics, identifying and addressing gaps in knowledge, practising exam-style questions and developing effective examination technique. I create a relaxed learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. My goal is to help students become independent, confident learners and achieve their best possible results.

Janet has helped my Son prepare for his exams. He looks toward to the lesson and really enjoys doing maths now! He has improved so much that even his teacher has noticed. Because of Janet he likes doing extra work after the lesson regularly.

Janet is a warm, kind and extremely well educated tutor with some fabulous resources of her own creation. In just three weeks she has taught my daughter more about the fundamentals of mathematics than she would have learnt in an entire school year. A real confidence giver, she makes maths seem easy and my daughter thoroughly enjoys her sessions, even counting the days until her next lesson! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Janet for anyone needing support with 11+ entrance exams or beyond.

Tutor response

Thanks Katy.

My son's ability and performance in his A level maths have improved, and Johanet has played a large part in this. Ben enjoys the lessons and is very happy with the way that the subject matter is explained to him.

Tutor response

Thank you.

We are so pleased to have found Johanet, she's given my son confidence and we've seen substantial improvement in his grades. Each week, my son goes through those areas he feels he needs revision on or areas he's not too sure about. I am happy to highly recommend Johanet, I'm certain my son would not have been making as much progress as he has without her patient assistance.

Tutor response

Thank you!

I can't thank Janet enough for the fantastic help and support she has given my son with his maths work at school. Finding maths a challenge he has previously lacked confidence and struggled to keep up in the classroom. Through her technical skills and patience Janet has helped my son to better understand how to do maths and not only is he thriving with significantly better grades but he is actually enjoying his studies. GSCE exams in a few weeks and he is feeling confident!

Tutor response

Thanks that's great news to have a confident student, especially as it is the new 9-1 GCSE exams and it is so much harder than before.
