About
I began helping students with Maths when I was in school studying for my A-Levels. I helped students at lunch-time lessons, taught Maths to friends and I also taught Maths to a younger student 1-to-1 weekly. When I arrived at university I wanted to continue this passion. I contacted local schools and in-turn they connected me with one local student who wanted some additional Maths help. Over the next few months, we made excellent progress, and he came away from his GCSE year with a B in Maths - a significant improvement from his failing E/D grade before Christmas. Entering my 2nd year of university, I knew that I wanted to grow more and more as a personal Maths tutor. I reconnected with more local schools and they helped to connect me with 2 new students. Over the academic year, this grew more and more - I tutored 13 students in total.
Entering June of my 2nd year, my availability in Bath became restricted as I had to travel home for the summer holidays. I desperately did not want to stop teaching my students so close to their exams and this is where I transitioned to online tuition. Ever since, I have had extremely positive experiences with online tutoring; offering fantastic flexibility and home comforts, whilst still delivering the same top-level Maths tuition. pyeMaths now enables me to teach students from all over the country - anywhere, anytime! I feel so privileged to be able to teach and share my enthusiasm with others. Please continue to explore this page and the rest of my website for more information.

Past Experience
(September 2016 – June 2017)
During my 2nd year at university, I connected with new students who were keen to improve their maths with additional tuition. I tutored 13 students, ages ranging from 6-18, at their respective maths level (Key Stage 1, Key Stage 3, GCSE and A-level). Each student and I worked together to help enrich their mathematical ability and grow their confidence towards the subject. I taught between 4 and 12hours weekly. I demonstrated excellent commitment and a good ethos for time management. I've learnt just how much I enjoy teaching maths and help other students; it’s a fulfilling experience.
(November 2015 – June 2016)
Throughout my 1st year of university, I tutored a 16-year-old student in IGCSE Mathematics. Maths did not come naturally to the student but throughout the year we identified their strengths and improved upon their weaknesses. We worked together to help improve their grade from a predicted E/D to a B (actual GCSE result). I would regularly mark exercises for the student as well as past papers and giving constructive feedback. I also provided regular feedback to the parents on the student’s progress and their interaction in the lessons.
(September 2012 – June 2015)
During my time at Caterham School 6th Form I participated in a “study-buddy” scheme, where I taught maths to a younger student on a weekly basis. I also regularly contributed at lunch-time sessions (maths clinic) where I would help students. I received positive feedback from peers and younger students which gave me confidence to keep teaching and constantly trying to better the way in which I communicate myself to students. I regularly gave up my free time to enthusiastically help others with their Maths.
