Hello,

I specialise in tutoring maths. I have a passion to learn mathematics and to teach others. I am laid back and I try to make learning fun!!

Many students find maths scary, so I like to explain concepts in simple terms, using real life examples where possible and building from there.

I am available most evenings after work for an hour, or anytime over the weekend with some planning.

Tutoring can be a regular event, or just when you are struggling with a topic. I am happy to help out at short notice in preparation for a test or assignment. I have tutored students just prior to exams to quickly bring them up to speed, and to give exam technique ideas.

Where possible, I like to keep the calculator away as much as possible, having the student work from first principles, and to mentally picture situations and results.

Regards

Paul

Experience

Over the last 24 years I have mainly tutored High School mathematics - years 11 and 12. I have also tutored Primary school and high school (years 8-10).

Whilst I was a student at university I tutored up to 5 students each week.

Whilst I have been an Officer in the Air Force for the past 26 years, time constraints with work limited me to two students in any semester, and I was able to conduct 3 hour sessions on weekends.

"I have been working with Paul for 2 terms now and over that time I have improved a lot. Paul is very good at explaining things, step by step so that I understand not just how to get to the answer by why I am doing things in a particular way. He is always very good at picking up when I don't quite get things and will go over it again until I am comfortable. Paul has been easy to work with and flexible in changing days around to work in with my other commitments such as going away or needing extra sessions. I would definitely recommend Paul to anyone who is struggling a bit with maths. An hour of Paul is worth a fortnight in a maths class!"
