Year 7-9 Maths

My Primary Focus

  • Build a great foundation of mental maths which is crucial for Maths in GCSE and beyond. 

  • Following the National Curriculum to ensure every child is at the expected level or higher for their year group.

  • Keep the lessons fun as I want to make sure all children genuinely find the lessons enjoyable.

Experience in this area

  • In the past 5 years, I have taught a large number of children between the ages of 11 and 14 in Oxford, London and Online; seeing many differences in terms of ability, confidence, interests and needs.

  • Some children have been behind in class and I helped them catch up and develop more confidence with Maths.

  • Some children have just had a few weak areas, e.g mental maths, times tables. After we worked on those they rose to the top of their class.

  • Some children have been way ahead of their year group and aren't being pushed in class. I teach these children much harder Maths that will interest them and make later years easier.

Different Approaches for those ...

Struggling with Maths

  • My main aim is to catch up with the expected level for their year group by building a solid foundation of mental maths and ensuring every topic is understood. 

  • If low confidence in Maths and disliking Maths are issues too, then I would really like to work on those as well. Generally by keeping the learning process fun and giving a lot of positive feedback and encouragement. 

With a few weak topics

  • My main aims are to clear up any weak areas of Maths, help your child to become more confident and comfortable with Maths and rise to the top of their class.

  • If low confidence in Maths and disliking Maths are issues too, then I would really like to work on those as well. Generally by keeping the learning process fun and giving a lot of positive feedback and encouragement. 

Excelling in Maths

  • My main aim is to keep pushing your child's interest and understanding in Maths and improving problem solving skills.

  • I would also be able to help with taking early GCSE exams.
