Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate
Bachelor's Degree in Mathematics from University of Greenwich
I began tutoring mathematics on a one-to-one basis at the age of seventeen while pursuing my A-Levels. This experience ignited my passion for teaching. Subsequently, I joined a company where I taught small groups of fifteen and sixteen-year-olds in preparation for their exams. Even during my university studies in mathematics, I continued tutoring one-to-one. Upon completing my bachelor's degree, I pursued a postgraduate degree in primary education (ages 4-11) with a specialisation in mathematics.
I held a position in a school where I led the tutoring program. I conducted webinars and training sessions for this role, organising engaging activities in mathematics and writing for students.
Additionally, I worked as a class teacher for seven and eight-year-olds, teaching all subjects in the UK national curriculum for two years. I also served as a cover teacher and head of tutoring at another school for an additional two years, where I coordinated and planned small groups to provide maths assistance.Reviews
