Hello, I'm Lisa
Thank you for taking an interest in Hayle Maths Tuition.
Here's a bit about myself...
My Teaching and Tutoring Experience
I am a fully qualified maths teacher and I have enjoyed 11 years’ experience of teaching maths in secondary schools in the UK. I have successfully taught maths to students of all ages and abilities from 11 to 18 years. During my career I have been the assistant to the lead maths teacher and have been responsible for the teaching and learning of maths at key stage 3 and ‘A’ level.
I have been teaching maths online for the past two years being inspired by the methods in which maths can be taught provided by new technology. Each of the students I have taught has shown significant improvement in their grades but also in their confidence and their enjoyment of maths.
My Approach to Teaching
I love the challenges of solving mathematics problems but my wide experience has taught me to understand how difficult and daunting the subject is for some learners. I am passionate about helping students understand and enjoy maths and to help make it more accessible for every learner.
I provide a patient, calm and supportive approach and boost student’s confidence by ensuring that their skills and knowledge are secure before moving on to new concepts. I understand that some learners will have misconceptions and will hit stumbling blocks. I help students overcome them by showing how to break down problems into more manageable tasks. I aim to build a positive and collaborative environment as I believe that this is how learning best takes place.
I provide well planned, structured lessons that are tailored to each student’s particular needs and use a range of methods and resources to make the sessions engaging and fun.
I am dedicated to raising achievement of learners at all key stages and I strive to ensure that every student maximises their potential.
