I often find that poor performance is due to a lack of understanding, not a lack of ability, and I am passionate about helping students achieve their true potential. I love to make complicated concepts easy to understand and I enjoy seeing a studentās enthusiasm for mathematics grow with their understanding. Iām also easy going so Iāll always keep it relaxed and fun. I use a variety of resources depending on what is best for the individual, from past papers and textbooks to exercises and examples which are tailor made by me. I tutor because it is in my nature to nurture and thereās nothing better than seeing a tutee succeed.
I have been tutoring since my first year at university with organisations such as Team Up and Schools Plus, which aim to help educationally disadvantaged students across London. As a result of my efforts, I was invited to Buckingham Palace to receive an award for my contribution to youth social action from the Princeās Trust and was given the opportunity to meet Prince Charles and David Cameron. I also took a module in āCommunicating Mathematicsā as a part of my degree, where I worked within the mathematics department of Westminster City School and helped teach classes and support individual students. I received a first for the module and greatly improved my understanding of how schools approach teaching mathematics. After graduating, I applied my mathematics knowledge by working as a government bond trader at Barclays Investment Bank.
