For learners requiring support with other topics, homework exercises and appropriate resource links can also be offered.Assessment
Past papers offered can be returned to me for checking and additional material for highlighted areas for improvement can be provided.Class Experience
A starting activity will be displayed on the screen for learners to start on as soon as they arrive to class. Once we are all present we will work through SAT Math questions in line with College Board specifications. I will offer concrete examples, scaffolding learners to move onto independent work and extension tasks to further deepen their understanding. I aim to give clear and concise instruction so learners can maximise their participation and optimise the learning time available to them. Learners are invited to share their prior knowledge, questions and answers to promote verbal reasoning and interact with myself as well as each other. A variety of activities will be offered in class, ranging from textbook exercises, additional exam-style questions, Q&A, whiteboard work as well as quizzes and games. Guiding learners through topic areas they may struggle with through sound questioning is one of my particular strengths. I am professional, friendly and approachable, passionate about Math and young people reaching their full potential.
Learning Goals
Students will improve their confidence and exam technique while preparing for the SAT Math exam.

Teacher expertise and credentials
Non-US Teaching Certificate in Mathematics
I have been a high school Math teacher for fifteen years, teaching up to age 16 when students in the UK sit the formal GCSE examinations. I am familiar with the SAT format, resources and requirements and all topics covered in the US and UK feature in both curricula.
I pride myself for being a teacher who goes above and beyond for her learners, providing timely and sound feedback as well as a personalised learning experience both in class and when setting homework and other out-of-class activities. I believe in the importance of always encouraging students to strive to reach their full potential and will work happily and tirelessly to support learners in progressing through their learning journey.
