As a high school senior maths teacher, I have specific insight into common challenges that students face both in content and assessments. My teaching is focussed on "teaching for understanding" as opposed to introducing rules or formulas that need to be memorised. I have access to multiple textbook suites and use your student's textbook to reteach exactly the same examples that were shown in class. This builds on existing understanding and increased exposure to the same example with varying explanations. I can provide homework or my own resources for extra work. Sessions can be structured as mini "one on one" classroom lessons, or can be treated more as traditional drop-in tutoring, depending on what is needed.
My sessions are student-focussed, with an empathic approach where we work towards collaborative goals developed with student and parents. I pride myself on supporting students' confidence and building positive relationships with the subject matter. My focus is on helping build fluency in procedural skills, alongside confidence to tackle the harder problem solving "complex unfamiliar" questions. I also provide support in between sessions for extra explanations or solutions throughout the week.

"I can highly recommend Madelaine, she has tutored my daughter this year with Specialist Maths and has been incredibly helpful. She’s positive, encouraging and provides clear and actionable support. As a parent it is so reassuring to see your child’s confidence and understanding building after each session. Thank you Madelaine!" Julie, March 2026
"I cannot recommend Madelaine highly enough as a math tutor. As a qualified senior math teacher with experience as a QCAA marker and confirmer, the level of expertise and insight Maddie brings to each session is incredible. Her current and deep understanding of the QCE curriculum and assessment standards is invaluable. However what set's Maddie apart is not just her subject knowledge but her unique ability to connect with all types of learners. The supportive environment Maddie creates allows reluctant learners like mine to build confidence, understand difficult concepts and eventually even enjoy math! If you are looking for a tutor with warmth, genuine care for her students and the highest levels of knowledge and skills in math teaching then contact Maddie today. Our family is very grateful to have found her services for our children." Kirsty, Feb 2026
"Madeleine has made a truly remarkable difference in my daughter’s maths journey in Year 11. Since starting sessions with her, my daughter’s performance has lifted to an A+ level — but more importantly, her confidence and enthusiasm for maths have grown significantly.
Madeleine’s teaching style is clear, supportive, and engaging. She has a warm and friendly approach that makes learning feel comfortable rather than stressful. My daughter genuinely looks forward to every session and often finishes feeling excited about what she has learned. What stands out most is that Madeleine doesn’t just help students understand the content , she builds confidence and motivation. Her ability to explain concepts in a way that feels approachable has made maths far more enjoyable for my daughter.
We are very grateful for her support and would highly recommend her to any student looking not only to improve their results, but to feel more positive about learning maths" Tima, Feb 2026
"Madelaine is an amazing tutor !! She helps you thoroughly understand your topics so you can apply the knowledge to harder questions . Madelaine steps through questions you don’t understand and explains it simply to make the questions less scary. She provides you with resources and questions helping expose you to all questions types whilst giving tips and tricks you may not learn at school. Also she is really positive and supportive ! Thank you so much Madelaine!!" Chloe, Feb 2026
