I'm struggling so much with revising for maths. My first GCSE exam is at the end of next month and I'm so stressed. I've been doing some maths past papers but nothing g is sinking in. I'm struggling with ratio and angles. Is there other ways? Thanks?

Experienced and passionate tutor

I graduated with a BSc Psychology degree in 2015. Since then, I have built a breadth of experience supporting children and young people aged 3-18 in educational settings. I have worked as an Assistant Psychologist in primary and secondary schools where I have supported students with a range of needs (including Special Educational Needs) by running 1:1 and group interventions and supporting their teachers. I have received training from specialised Educational Psychologists on topics such as working memory, study skills, coaching, self-esteem, learning difficulties, cognition and executive functioning that I apply in my work. My students range in academic ability and I have experience of working with students with additional educational needs. I tailor each session to the varying needs of my students and I work hard to provide bespoke, enjoyable sessions with access to the resources and support required to achieve good marks and improved self-confidence. I am passionate about supporting learners to reach their full potential and achieve their academic goals.

Graduate from UCL. Really enjoy tutoring and helping others

Hi :) I'm Alisha. Ive been told that I am an individual who has a positive can do attitude and easy going. You can let me know if this is true ? I've been tutoring for almost 9 years now and absolutely enjoy it. Especially knowing that I'm helping students to build a strong foundation to set them up for the future. I have tutored students from KS1 upto A-levels, teaching Maths and Sciences (and English to younger students). Not only have I tutored students, I have had the amazing opportunity (and a challenging yet unique experience) to also home school a number of students in the past. Misc: I am a socially active person who enjoys trying out new activities or visiting new places. Next on the to do list is sky diving (ahhhh). I also try to be actively involved in raising funds for different charities. For example, I have helped organise charity events to raise funds for educational resources and schools in rural developing countries and orphans in need.

Second year dental student, happy to help :)

Hi, my name is Abdur and I’m currently studying Dentistry at the University of Bristol. I’d describe myself as a kind and friendly person who loves to teach using evidence-based techniques. As a dental student, a lot of my time is spent learning but also teaching others as it reinforces the knowledge I’ve gained from lectures, seminars and clinical sessions. I’d describing my style of teaching as interactive and personal as everyone has their own way of grasping topics. What sets my teaching apart from others is that it integrates core topics and links the common themes which cements the information to a deeper level of understanding. This is something I’ve used in my own studies which has helped me to ranked in the top 10 for the end of Year 1 exams and over achieve over 70% in end of Year 2 exams. I have been tutoring and mentoring students since 2016. What I’ve learnt from this experience is that building confidence in students is one of the key components to boosting grades. I highlight strengths and weaknesses so we can reinforce the areas which require more attention. This is through evidence-based teaching called active recall. The purpose of this method is to stimulate the mind through questioning rather than passive learning. Passive learning is something many students are guilty of which often leads to average grades. Through active learning it highlights areas that requires more attention. Spaced repetition will help to prevent forgetting important information and enables long term storage of knowledge which is crucial for exams!

I’m passionate about teaching Physics, Maths and Programming.

I’m currently a second year PhD student at Imperial College doing physics. I’m passionate about Maths, physics and coding (especially in Python) and love sharing my experiences and enthusiasm with those I teach. “If you can’t explain it simply, you don’t understand it well enough” has always been the major motivation that drives me to teach and makes me enjoy teaching. When I teach, my strategy involves ensuring students understand basic concepts and techniques, how to link them together to solve more complex problems and helping students build up their abstract thinking progressively. In the past, I had taught A-level physics to Year 12 students at Newham Collegiate Sixth Form as a part-time tutor. My teaching experience also includes undergraduate teaching at Imperial College and I’ve taught undergraduate-level courses such as Year 2 Electromagnetism (for chemists), Year 3 Computational Physics and supervised Year 1 summer projects. Prices are negotiable.
