About Jake
I am a full time, fully qualified, maths teacher, who holds a maths degree. I have been an in-classroom teacher for five years, so can guarantee I am fluent in latest pedagogical research, and am actively engaged in continuously improving my teaching as well as having the experience to know what works and does not work in helping students understand mathematical concepts.
I have served as an examiner, marking both A Level Maths and GCSE Maths exams for the past 3 years, and I have a deep understanding as to what is required for students to get top grades at all tiers.
My main focus in tuition is building student understanding. It is impossible to teach someone all the answers for an exam neither of us have seen, so I focus primarily on working with pupils for an extended period of time to work from their current understanding to the level of understanding needed to answer any question. This is done through routines, motivating them to believe in their own ability, and developing good learning habits.

The important thing with learning maths is practice, so a large portion of our sessions would be to spend time dedicated towards intentional, focused practice on skills specifically necessary to improve outcomes.
As maths is hierarchical, it is crucially important to ensure pupils have a solid understanding of the required fundamentals in any given topic, during lesson teachers often don't have the available time to cover every pre-requisite, so it's very possible some topics would be inaccessible before even starting. Having a tutor who can identify where the problem lies, and what the pupil actually needs to learn, is the difference between developing an understanding of the maths, and being able complete simple examples through rote practice.
Depending on the student, either I will plan and deliver a series of sessions and work with them to create a bespoke plan to help work towards their academic goals, or sessions can be delivered as a more "Q&A" style, where they come with problems they've had and specific things they've done within the week and would like more support with.
I am currently teaching the Edexcel specification for GCSE and Edexcel for A-level, but have previously taught AQA at GCSE, though all exam boards in maths are remarkably similar, as the content is near-identical.

Jake is a fantastic tutor and I couldn’t recommend him enough. He supported my child through their GCSEs, as they struggled with maths. He is patient, approachable and really good at explaining things in a way that made sense to my child.
Communication with him was also very easy, with quick replies to any question!
