Hi, I’m Victoria, an experienced tutor who consistently boosts my students’ grades by at least two grades through personalised, fun-filled maths tutoring. I foster a love for learning and discovery, ensuring that your child not only improves academically but also enjoys the learning process.

With 13 years of experience as a secondary school maths teacher (QTS and DBS) and 17 years as a maths tutor, I find my work stimulating and hugely rewarding and always endeavour to get the best out of my students. I have extensive experience following the AQA and Edexcel exam boards for GCSE. This in-depth familiarity with their specific syllabi, examination styles, and assessment criteria enables me to provide targeted and effective tuition tailored to each exam board’s unique requirements. I also have experience in preparing Key Stage 2 children for the Year 4 Timestables Test and Year 6 SATs, improving mathematical knowledge for Key Stage 2 and Key Stage 3, and helping with homework for all abilities and ages.

My commitment to student success is unwavering. I have a proven record of working with students to ensure that they achieve the best outcomes possible. I believe that building relationships with my students is the key to getting the best from them. I am deeply committed to understanding their needs, ensuring that they are catered for and that my students are challenged and enjoy participating in lessons. Each student is unique, and I tailor my approach to meet their individual needs, ensuring that your child’s unique learning style and pace are always considered.

I break down complex concepts in a way that is easy to understand, enabling students to make good progress and helping them build confidence in the subject. My approach to teaching maths is to determine my students’ aims, assess their strengths, and identify any gaps in their knowledge to develop a personalised plan that not only improves their academic performance but also boosts their self-esteem. 

In a typical first session, we begin by working through an exam paper. This diagnostic assessment allows me to identify the student’s strengths and areas for improvement. Based on this analysis, I can tailor subsequent sessions to address their specific needs.

In my most recent position, I was given the opportunity to take on different responsibilities within the department. I was the department lead for SMSC in Mathematics. Another key area of my role was analysing Year 11 pupil premium in Mathematics to establish where any gaps were and who would benefit from intervention; once this analysis was completed, I implemented an intervention program to close these knowledge gaps. I was also the numeracy lead for KS3, where I planned and distributed form-time numeracy tasks such as basic number skills or problem-solving questions, which led to an improvement throughout our KS3 classes.  

I am excited about the prospect of helping my students achieve their full potential. Over the years, I have had the privilege of witnessing many success stories, such as a key stage 3 student who went from struggling with maths to excelling in the subject or a GCSE student who improved their grades from a U to gaining a grade 4. I look forward to our journey together. I am a determined, caring, and supportive teacher who takes pride in my students’ achievements and always takes a professional approach to everything I do.
