​Mrs Sue Comber -​ Company Director and Private Maths Tutor

​

Professionally
I have always had a flair for Mathematics teaching and an empathy for those who struggle with the basic concepts and this translated into my professional life where I was a financial trader in the City for over 10 years, before progressing into a mathematically based training role. For the next 5 years I was involved in training some very senior people in the banking industry and it never ceased to amaze me how many people seemed to have an innate fear of Maths and the number of people who commented on my ability to simplify fairly complex mathematical concepts was very flattering.
 
This gave me a passion for catching and helping people to conquer this fear from an early age.  I am constantly finding that, with many of my students, their struggles with Maths has been with their confidence levels rather than their actual ability.Our one-to-one method of tailoring all maths lessons to the individual pupils' requirements and abilities enables us to build up their confidence gradually as we work at their own speed.

Mr Iezer Villaflor - 
Private Maths Tutor

Having passed 3A levels (including an A grade in Maths) I am now taking a gap year to volunteer in medical services and am then going to study medicine at University next year.

I’ve been a prefect for both my Secondary and 6th form schools,  which has given me a variety of leadership responsibilities.

My previous tutoring experience was as an assistant tutor in a local classroom based UK franchise but left there as I firmly believe that a child struggling to understand Maths under classroom conditions at school, needs one-to-one tuition rather than just computer-based classroom tutoring.

At school I have also supported the  KS3 and GCSE students  to develop and strengthen their Maths as well as their confidence and self esteem.
 
I strongly believe that good mathematical skills are invaluable for life and build a strong foundation on which to face the future. I love helping my students to  open their mind and realise their potential in this field.

Ms Rubaba Noyireeta - Private Maths Tutor

Mr Ashish Holkar - Private Maths Tutor

Having passed 4 A levels (an A grade in Maths) I am now taking a gap year to explore the education profession before going to university next year as I am planning to teach Physics at a secondary school level after my degree. 

Many people would describe me as an outgoing, lively addition to a group no matter the situation - whether during challenging team projects or in a productive classroom environments.

I am well known for my ability to persist and work under pressure and am able to communicate well with others in a group. As the former leader of both Essex Young People’s Orchestra and Southend Youth Orchestra, I am a confident individual and able to guide and help younger members of the orchestra in improving their skills.

I have been tutoring Maths for 2 years and I have  learnt hows students learn better with different styles of teaching and explanation depending on the difficulty of the topic.

This will help me in the future

​

Having passed 4 A levels (an A grade in Maths) I am  taking a gap year before studying medicine at University next year. I plan to be a future doctor.

I was a prefect at my sixth form and continue to serve my community in various ways thereby developing my leadership and communication skills. 

I have previously tutored at a company that specialised in 11+ tutoring and have also tutored in School for the new 9-1 GCSE Maths curriculum. My experience in teaching has given me the skills to ensure that my students grasp the concepts and thoroughly understand the Maths being taught.

In my experience I have seen the disadvantages of computer based group tuiton and firmly believe that one-to-one tutoring is the very best method to ensure that the needs of the individual student are met.

I enjoy the logic and structure of Maths and believe that it is an essential part of life and enjoy sharing my passion with my students. As a person who was once in their position I am relateable and can understand  their needs and in doing so build their confidence and trust.

Miss Rachel Leighton -
Senior Private Maths Tutor

​I am currently studying musical theatre at university having achieved an A grade at AS Maths as an external candidate studying independently.

I have always had a passion for Maths and when I finished my GCSE's, I felt that it was as important to exercise my brain as well as my body, and so I decided   to take my AS level in Mathematics as an external candidate even though it wasn't necessary for my UCAS points

In Maths classes at secondary school, I was always the person my classmates would come to for help in Maths if they were struggling, and would do one to one maths sessions with them in the library after school or at lunch breaks and I absolutely loved it!

I was tutored myself by the team at " Sue Comber Maths Tutors " and feel that I have grown up here and know the ethos and teaching style so well.

I love teaching Maths as it is such an important subject for young people to learn and helps them strengthen their creativity and problem solving.
