About
Hello! I have taught KS3 and GCSE Maths, Statistics and Entry Level maths and I’m also an Edexcel Statistics examiner. I have previously been the head of KS3 maths but also teach KS4. I offer a free video chat so we can see if we’re a right match for each other. I have a first class honours BEd Primary Education (Maths Specialism) degree but quickly transitioned to secondary school teaching. All my previous tutor students have passed their GCSE maths exam including one particular student where I improved her grade from 1 to a 4 in one year. I similarly helped progress a student from a grade 7 to a grade 9 in maths. I ensure I build a positive relationship with all students which improves their confidence in themselves and they feel more comfortable sharing their difficulties in lessons which can be a big barrier to their learning. I break harder topics into smaller, more manageable steps for the students to reduce their cognitive load so they find learning easier and they can remember the learning long-term. I use a maths mastery approach where questions on the same topic are asked in different ways and contexts to encourage students to understand the content and apply it to other contexts rather than using repetitive practice which has been proven to be ineffective when it comes to long-term learning. Each question asked aims to challenge the students further or link areas of maths together to help retrieval of information. A big barrier in students achieving lower grades in maths is their ability to recall information alongside their understanding of basic concepts so these are areas I focus on. Being reactive and adaptable is a key part of tutoring and the privilege to teach students one-to-one really enables me to focus on their specific needs and if I need to stop a lesson to revise simple skills needed to access the higher content then I am able to and this has shown to have massive impact. I look forward to hearing from you soon and am very happy to answer any questions, Heather

First lesson with Heather and it was very good. She quickly worked out what needed attention, kept the session light, and didn't rush past the things that weren't sticking. She went back to the reasoning behind the methods rather than just the steps, and picked up a topic that had been missed at school. The written feedback afterwards was the best part: clear, honest about the gaps, and with a practical suggestion for getting ahead of the school's curriculum. Booked a regular slot.
