Maths & Science (Years 3 to 10)
Mathematics
Many students find numeracy skills particularly challenging in both primary and secondary school. I tutor many students in mathematics, particularly in the upper primary (Years 6/7) and lower secondary school (Years 8/9) years, so that each child is able to feel supported throughout the tuition experience in a sensitive manner. I often liaise collaboratively with the child’s subject teacher to better understand the current difficulties that they are having with mathematics at school. I take the time to help children of all year levels develop confidence in their basic numeracy skills such as times-tables, fractions and long multiplication, as difficulties in these areas are often at the core of many problems in mathematics, even in the secondary years. The appropriate methods for organising and setting out mathematical problems in a workbook, as well as strategies for effective problem solving are discussed, explicitly modelled and reinforced to ensure good preparation for tests and assignment work.
Science
I can offer my wealth of experience in teaching Science to help inspire your child to both enjoy learning science and improve his/her knowledge and understanding. I provide assistance in the tuition of science content (Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences and Physics), research/presentation strategies for assignments, construction of laboratory-based practical reports and strategies for effective test and examination preparation.
