Tutor Profile

Poppy

Private Maths Tutor in Hemel Hempstead

I am a qualified Maths teacher with over 10 years of experience teaching and tutoring students of different ages and abilities. Throughout my career, I have developed a passion for helping students overcome challenges, build confidence, and achieve their academic goals. I chose to teach Maths because I enjoy helping students understand concepts that they may have previously found difficult or intimidating. There is nothing more rewarding than seeing a student gain confidence in their abilities and realise that they are capable of succeeding. Outside of teaching, I enjoy continuing my professional development and finding new ways to make learning engaging and accessible. My goal is to help students not only improve their grades but also develop the confidence and problem-solving skills that will benefit them long after their exams.

Teaching Experience

I have over 10 years experience of teaching and tutoring. I have a first class degree in Mathematics and a PGCE and QTS. Over the years I have taught a wide range of students with different abilities and have lots of experience with SEN students too. I create a friendly and supportive environment in which students want to learn and progress. I offer individualised support for students with a wide variety of teaching techniques to support the student's needs. I like to use a lot of examples of mathematics in real life and go through problem solving techniques. I always ensure that I keep the parents up to date of their child's progress.

Tutoring Approach

My lessons are tailored to the individual, whether you need help building confidence, mastering difficult topics, improving exam technique, or achieving your target grade. I create a supportive and positive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and learning from mistakes. Rather than simply teaching methods to memorise, I focus on developing a deep understanding of mathematical concepts so that students can apply their knowledge independently and confidently.

Poppy is an amazing tutor. My daughter had her first lesson with Poppy for GCSE Maths today and instantly felt relaxed and at ease. She came skipping downstairs saying she has already learnt so much and please could she continue with Poppy. It can be hard managing teenage anxiety and their ability to see that they can do it, just perhaps need a different angle to their learning. Honestly feel we have found a diamond in Poppy, cannot recommend enough.

Our daughter is really enjoying her sessions with Poppy. She aways comes away excited about what she has learnt. Poppy is helping our daughter to work through the tougher questions ready for her GCSE this year.

Needed a tutor to help my Son prepare for his upcoming GCSE exams. Really clicked with him from the first lesson and he said that Poppy has a great way of explaining things that he was not able to get from his teachers at school. Would highly recommend Poppy.
