Heidi

FULLY QUALIFIED TEACHER. I have worked as a fully qualified teacher at primary and secondary level for the last 10 years. I offer Maths tuition from year 6 - Foundation GCSE level. I have worked in state and private schools as well as alternative provisions and so have a lot of experience across a range of needs and academic abilities, who require different types of intervention to help them succeed.

Tutoring Experience

After my undergraduate degree at SOAS (University of London), I went on to complete my teaching qualification (PGCE) at King's College (London) a number of years ago and have been working as a teacher ever since. I specialise in Maths and have taught within both primary and secondary schools (KS2, KS3, KS4). I am very passionate about education, and am a very patient and kind tutor. In regards to online learning, I have 5 years experience in online delivery. I have taught online both as a classroom teacher and as a tutor. Young people enjoy online delivery of my sessions as the platforms and software available now offer the same flexibility and options as in-person sessions. However I also recognise the importance of in person tutoring for other young people as it allows some young people to focus better. It is all dependent on the particular needs of the young person and my approach is very much about figuring this out with the young people I am working with and their families.

Tutoring Approach

My sessions are young person led. I am a trauma informed practitioner and thus use an assets based approach.
