How does tuition work?
Online lessons are held primarily via Zoom.
Alternatives include Google Meet / Microsoft Teams.
In-person tuition incurs an extra fee of £10 and is held at the student’s home. This is only available to those who are in or around Sheffield, UK.
Lessons can be recorded upon request. Recordings are emailed to the student after the lesson.
Notes are written on an online whiteboard which is unique to the student, and all whiteboard notes are available to be viewed at any time following the lesson.
The primary online whiteboard used is Pencil Spaces.
It is recommended to have a tablet with a stylus to be able to write on the whiteboard. Personally, I use an iPad with an Apple Pencil.
If the student does not have a tablet with a stylus, then a notepad with a pen is recommended for note taking and problem-solving instead.
A unique Google Drive link is provided which contains many resources to help secure their target grade and smash those exams!
Google Drive contains a revision plan to tackle exams, relevant textbooks, exam-styled revision material such as past exam papers, problem sheets and solutions.
After each lesson, targeted homework is provided for further practice.
Homeworks can be sent back to me (or uploaded onto the Google Drive link) for marking, and personalised feedback.
What levels are taught?
The great thing about mathematics is that it is transcends countries and examination boards. There is a large overlap between different examinations and, as a mathematics tutor, this allows me to cover a wide range of maths courses in good detail. The following is a list of these courses, but this list is not exhaustive, and I encourage you to reach out with details of what you need help with – I’m happy to assess the situation and decide if I am the right fit for you!
