About Lou
- What kind of experience do you have?
My expertise is in intervention; structuring classes for the individual. It's really great to spend time in smaller groups and get down to the nitty gritty!! I've worked with students experiencing difficulties in Maths for many years - there's no one formula that works for everyone. The key is to work out what you're good at, what's bothering you (and why) then fix it! Easy!
- Do you have an up-to-date DBS (Disclosure & Barring Service, formerly CRB) Certificate?
Full and Current CRB for Birmingham and Malvern
- Do you belong to any professional organisations?
I am an examiner for OCR and Edexcel

Maths.
- Tell me about your qualifications.
I'm an experienced and qualified teacher of Maths for 12 years, examiner for Edexcel and OCR and recently Head of Maths in a busy High School for 6 years. My role as Head of Maths was primarily to structure provision of Maths to make sure all students enjoyed and excelled in Maths whatever their level but I was also responsible for training Maths teachers, coaching qualified Maths teachers and developing the curriculum to give the best possible opportunities to our students.
- How much do you charge?
Lessons are 1.5 hours and are £38 for GCSE, £43 for A level. One to one online tuition is more expensive - please enquire.

I am available on Saturdays for group tuition in Solihull
I also have groups running every day Mon to Thurs 5-6.30 in Malvern
Support and coaching is available throughout the week by arrangement.

- Which qualifications do you prepare your students for?

A level Maths
- Describe your arrangements for online tutoring.
I run effective and successful online sessions through Skype. Please ensure you have a good connection and hard wire in for these sessions. These sessions are more expensive than my small group tuition - please enquire
- Do you have a personal message for students?
Problems with Maths, mental blocks and low Maths esteem are unique to the student and small class sizes are vital to kicking obstacles out of the way in order to thrive in the beautiful subject!
Maybe you are doing well in Maths but need a small group environment to relax and grow your potential?
Maths is personal and whether you need to develop your potential or overcome a problem, you need an experienced coach to help you through.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
My teachers told me I couldn't get more than an E grade. I saw Lou for 2 years once a week and got a B grade. It was hard work but we had a laugh and got it done. I recommend Lou to anyone
Lou's an awesome tutor. She's really fun and makes it interesting and memorable. She tutored me for a year once a week and I moved from a D to a B grade. Thanks Lou
Lou provided a very friendly and flexible service that fitted around my work life. Her tuition improved my Maths score significantly. I would definitely recommend her to others sitting their UKCAT or other Maths exam.
We are thrilled with Will's progress in maths.... I wasn't sure if he could handle A level.... But I am sure that your guidance is strengthening knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of maths!!
I shudder to think what Libby would have got without your help. I'd gladly recommend your classes and wish we'd come sooner. Thanks for making them fun and averting disaster.
The Maths Surgery is a brilliant experience for people who feel they need help with maths. It's friendly, insightful, and effective for anyone wanting to better their mathematics skills. Lou is enthusiastic, bubbly, and professional. Thank you Lou for all of your help and support over the past year - I couldn't have done it without you.
The Maths Surgery has helped me to build my confidence in Maths through working in a group of people of similar ages and Lou has helped me to become more independent and work on specific areas that I found challenging. Thanks so much for all of your help Lou!
Just to say an enormous THANK YOU! Rebecca was absolutely thrilled with her result. Rebecca enjoyed her lessons as you made them fun and provided a great learning environment. Rebecca and I would not hesitate in recommending you to all! You are an inspiration and such a positive teacher; Nothing was too much trouble for you and your invaluable skills certainly gave Rebecca the confidence she needed.
Lou is a good teacher who explains topics in an easily understandable method. This helps us to get a good grasp of the topics quickly which helps us improve our grade. At the start of the year, I struggled with Maths. However, later on in the year I improved quickly and I felt as if I had a good understanding of the topics.
Lou is an excellent teacher who has a great ability to make maths more approachable. Not only does she improve the students' understanding she gives them the confidence that they really can do the subject. She is even able to make extra maths on a saturday afternoon enjoyable! The small group means that everyone is able to cover areas that the areas where they feel less confident. Lou helps every student to maximise their potential.
