Intermediate Level
This is an ongoing course that will study the British Curriculum for Year 7 and 8 - approx. age 11-13. We will cover the main Key Stage 3 topics at a level suitable for this age range, to allow smoother progress and better understanding for later in their maths studies. This class will be taught as a mini-classroom environment where the material will be taught by PowerPoint. There will be plenty of explained examples, and time for pupils to ask quick questions for clarification and to aid understanding as we go through. Worksheets are often created after each lesson to help consolidate material taught in class. Each week, the new topics will be introduced and developed starting from basics, but allowing extension where possible. Any work submitted can be marked and feedback can be given. Some online resources will also give immediate feedback. As lessons are recorded, pupils can re-watch the recordings in case they missed copying down examples, or wish to revisit the topic at a later date. If any pupils require additional support on a 1-to-1 basis, this can be arranged separately on request.

Other Details
Parental Guidance
Some of the educational mathematical resources I use, and are available for pupils to use, are extremely common in UK teaching, however they may not be well known outside the UK or International British Schools network. Therefore if parents wish to check out the websites prior to their children accessing these resources, then they may feel more comfortable as to their content.
The key resources I use are:
www.lbq.org/task - The login for this belongs to myself (paid for). The tasks I set on this platform allow pupils to only access the question set that I create for the day. No other part of this website can be accessed by the pupils. Be aware that when pupils enter a name for the task, this data is stored for my viewing, so pupils way wish to use a non-recognisable name if they wish to appear anonymous.
www.drfrostmaths.com - This will be used for resources to create powerpoints. There is also an online quiz, similar to Kahoot! No login required for pupils to access the quiz.
www.Kahoot.it - Online quiz. No login required. A private licence has been paid for privately.
Supply List
Paper/exercise book/notebook to write on and make notes. A calculator. (Scientific preferred) Maths equipment: Protractor, Compasses, Ruler

We will be using online resources to support learning and provide material to use. This may include online practice and assessments such as 'LBQ.org' or 'Dr. Frost Maths', and material at 'CorbettMaths' and 'Mathsmadeeasy.co.uk'. Kahoot may also be used on occasions with maths based questions.
Teacher expertise and credentials
I am an experienced Maths teacher with 18 years' of teaching full-time from ages 11 - 18. I have been teaching online on Outschool since September, having previously taught full time in a large international boarding school in England, covering Key Stage 3, GCSE, A Level, International Baccalaureate SL & HL. My wife and I home-school our 9 children ranging in age from 2 to 17. I am taking time out of full-time teaching from school to teach them in all my classes from age 7 - 17.Reviews
