Do you want to help your child prepare for their maths exam
but you don’t know where to start or how best to help?
——————————————————————
Get in touch to see how I can help!
- I have a 1st class Masters in Mechanical Engineering.
- Years of experience tutoring.
- I also create online courses all focused on helping your child reach their full potential.
More than anything I try to be someone students and parents can come to when they are struggling. I remember how stressful exams were and how much help and support was offered by my tutors and what a huge difference it made to my confidence and grades.
I try to take a holistic when it comes to teaching maths, it’s too easy to just focus on the nitty-gritty of maths and not take any time to think about why we are doing what we are doing.
This encourages students to build a toolset of problem-solving skills that they can apply to all aspects of their studies and life.
I teach using a lot of multimedia as I am a very visual person and I find this helps teach tricky concepts. I have a vast catalog of online resources that I share with my students.
While learning holistically is important alone it is not enough. Learning to prepare for the exam is essential.
I have a heavy focus on teaching:
-
-
- exam technique,
- effective study strategies
- keeping a positive mental mindset
-
- Watch here to see how we can best work together:
“Brendan successfully coached our daughter to transition from a hard-working maths student who lacked confidence, to achieve grade A in Higher Maths this summer. To say that we (and she) are delighted is an understatement, especially when you appreciate he managed this in a few short weeks.
The path we took – only looking for additional support once we realised there was a serious problem – is not one I would recommend! If your child is doing Higher Maths, get Brendan’s help as early as possible.
He was patient, challenging, supportive and most importantly he swiftly identified the things she needed to work on and gave her brilliant strategies for dealing with the tough stuff through loads of exam standard practice questions.
Higher Maths isn’t easy – but Brendan makes it a lot easier. Best investment I have made this year”
— Susan, Mother Of Student
“Brendan has a real talent for making the subject clear and demonstrating the relevance of the questions asked.
We were delighted by the significant improvement in grades for Higher Maths between the prelim and the exam.
Thank you very much :-)”
