Why does my child need Private Maths Tuition? With the current economic climate and jobs being increasingly more difficult to come by, it is imperative to give our children the best start in life that we can. Classroom sizes are a minimum of 30 and even the best teachers just do not have the time or resources to give pupils the individual attention that the subject can often require. Private Maths Tuition is not only for pupils who are struggling though, I have some very able pupils on my books who are just looking to guarantee that elusive "A" grade or to increase their grade from B to A as well as those who are hoping to ensure that they get a C.

Do you teach Maths to children of all ages? I tutor Mathematics to pupils from Primary School  (KS1 and KS2) to Secondary School (KS3 and KS4) including GCSE Level, as well as GCSE Statistics in Benfleet, Essex I also run sessions for parents who are nervous about helping their children with their Maths homework and would like to brush up on their Maths skills. I also provide 11+ tuition in classes of a maximum of 6 children on a Saturday morning at a cost of £15 per head. There is also an online tutorial service at "ask a maths question" where, for a small fee, I will give GCSE Maths model answers, explanations and demonstrations on video, to individual homework or coursework questions.

Can you help adults with professional exams to take? I have been able to help trainee engineers, trainee teachers and other professionals with the Maths areas of their various exams with great success and am available during the day for those studying for professional qualifications.

How much does it cost? My Private Maths Tuition fees are £30 per hour for GCSE Level (KS3 and KS4)  and GCSE Statistics and  £25 per hour for Primary school level (KS1 and KS2). I can arrange for a group discount for pupils of the same school year In South East Essex who wish to be taught together.

Where do you teach the Maths lessons? I teach in the early evenings from my home in Thundersley, near Benfleet in  Essex  and cover Rayleigh, Leigh, Benfleet, Basildon, Southend, Wickford and surrounding areas. My students come from schools such as King John School, Applegate, Belfairs High School, Fitzwimarc School, Sweyne Park School, Our Lady of Ransom Catholic  Primary School etc . Home tuition is available in South East Essex for those pupils, who, for health or other personal reasons, are unable to attend school, at a cost of £30 per hour during school hours.

Do you worry about helping your child with their Maths homework?
Does it always end in tears?

I can help! I also run small informal Maths courses "Mums, Coffee, Cakes and Maths" during the school day from my home in Benfleet, Essex for parents/carers who want to be able to help their children with their Maths homework but find the whole subject too intimidating.  Maths is taught so differently to how we used to learn it, with number bonds, bridging through 10 partitioning, chunking etc. What is this all about? In small groups of up to 6 people, we chat through how Maths is taught today and help you to help your child. You can even bring your child's homework with you. The price is £10 per person per session for groups of up to 7 people (£15 per session for groups of 4 or less). Please contact me for the next available session dates and times.
