This is one of the things that inspired me to take a PGCE course and become a fully qualified teacher. I am based in Wimbledon, but can travel to other areas within 10 miles (by car). I like to personalise my tuition sessions by finding out the details of what the student is working towards, before I come for my first session. I am happy to run an initial trial session, and payment is made on a per session basis, so if it's not beneficial for you then there are no commitments.

Although, I can tutor to a very advanced level, I have experience teaching all ages and abilities. For me it's clear that the people coming to me, need help and support with the subject....if everyone was a maths genius then tuition wouldn't exist!
