Tutoring Experience

I have 15 years of experience teaching Mathematics at prestigious international schools, including Schule Schloss Salem in Germany. My expertise includes teaching IGCSE Maths, Pre-IB, and IB Maths for grades 7-12. I initiated Maths Support Groups to cater to students of all abilities and emphasised active participation and real-world applications in Maths education.

At the Bavarian International School, I taught IB MYP Maths for grades 7 and 8, as well as IB DP AI SL Maths for grade 11. My background in Physics and Aerospace inspires me to integrate practical applications into my lessons, helping students connect abstract concepts with real-world scenarios.

I have a strong academic foundation with 9 'O' Levels and 5 'A' Levels, including Further Maths, and a B.Sc. in Physics with a 2.1 classification from the University of Birmingham.

Tutoring Approach

My tutoring philosophy for IGCSE Maths revolves around fostering confidence through clarity and practice. I focus on simplifying complex topics, making Maths accessible and enjoyable for all learners. By tailoring lessons to individual needs and encouraging active participation, I help students develop problem-solving skills and the self-belief to excel in IGCSE Maths.

"Paul was instrumental in helping me increase my scores. Through his calm and methodical way of teaching, and his detailed explanations, he made sure that I was not left confused. As well as always checking if I had any doubts, most helpful were the worksheets he made for me from a multitude of past papers, helping me practice between classes and boost my confidence in the subject"
