James

Cambridge University - MMath Mathematics

I hold a Master of Mathematics degree from the prestigious University of Cambridge and have amassed several years of experience as a mathematics tutor. My expertise lies in recognizing and adapting to diverse learning styles, enabling me to tailor my teaching approach to each student's unique needs. By asking insightful questions, I encourage students to discover solutions independently, fostering a deeper, more personal understanding of the subject. My passion for mathematics is evident in my teaching style, and I strive to instill a similar enthusiasm in my students, creating an engaging and dynamic learning environment.

Personally Interviewed

Our tutors go through a rigorous selection process, having been interviewed to assess their teaching skills and subject knowledge. They have extensive tutoring experience with a track record of success, helping students achieve their academic goals.

Tutoring Experience

I have several years of experience helping students achieve their potential in mathematics at both GCSE and A level. Having been through the Cambridge interview process and passed all three STEP exams comfortably, I am well placed to mentor others through these exams and application process.

Tutoring Approach

I begin my lessons going over conceptual ideas and theory, using open dialogue to appreciate the student’s understanding and connecting our discussion to other areas of mathematics to provide a stronger understanding across the syllabus.

Most of my time with each student is focused on problem solving. Encouraging the student to talk through their approach while solving a problem not only solidifies their understanding but helps their confidence and identifies any areas of misunderstanding promptly.

I expect students to continue working on their methods outside of tuition time, but I am more than happy to provide marking and example solutions, as well as discuss a student’s approach in their next lesson. I find that most tuition value comes from discussing these problems which a student has considered for some time.

For Oxbridge, I can offer mock interviews and feedback, to increase familiarity and confidence with this format.
