Your Prescription for Academic Success
Are you looking for a maths tutor who can provide a unique blend of experience, expertise, and passion for teaching? Look no further than The Maths GP. That’s me – Gareth. With a rich and varied career, I bring a wealth of experience to the table, making me the perfect choice for students who need support in their mathematical studies.
I embarked on my professional journey after obtaining a degree in Chemistry. My career path has been anything but ordinary, spanning across various professions. However, it is this diverse experience that sets me apart as a maths tutor and provides me with the ability to contextualise topics to aid understanding.
Before retraining as a maths teacher in 2011, I served in the emergency services, working with both the police and fire service. This background instilled in me a sense of discipline, resilience, and the ability to think quickly on my feet - qualities that are invaluable in the world of education. I’ve also worked as a research chemist and as a financial adviser amongst other jobs.
Since retraining, I have worked in various sectors including secondary schools, further education colleges, and private training centres. This broad experience has given me a deep understanding of the different learning environments and teaching methods used, enabling me to adapt a teaching approach to suit each student's unique needs.
In addition to my teaching experience, I work as an expert GCSE examiner for Edexcel. This role has given me an insider's perspective on exam techniques and marking schemes, which I use to guide my students towards exam success.
I’m also a long-standing school governor at a primary school with an outstanding OFSTED rating. This role along with my teaching experience has given me a comprehensive understanding of the education system, allowing me to provide well-rounded support to my students.
My expertise is not limited to any particular age group or level. I am equipped to support students from Key Stage 2 up to their GCSE exams and beyond. Whether your child is struggling with basic concepts or preparing for their GCSE exams, I can provide the support they need to excel.
In conclusion, I’m not just a tutor, but a mentor, guide, and supportive friend. My varied career and wealth of experience make me uniquely qualified to support students in their maths studies.
