I lectured in Computing from 1980 to 2005 at Thames Polytechnic (as it then was), Goldsmiths College, and Royal Holloway. I have been tutoring since 1995.
How much do you charge?
£25/hour; I don't travel; I don't charge for initial interviews; I do pro bono work for genuinely deserving cases.

Association of Teachers of Mathematics; Mathematical Association; Association of Science Educators; Institute of Physics
Where and with whom did you train?
Tigerland (Fort Polk), US Army, 1967.
Tell me about some of your current students.
A 50 year old woman preparing for her Maths Level 1 NVQ (she passed last week); an A-Level maths student at a private girl's school; several GCSE students at a local state school, whom I tutor in maths and science; an 8-year old experiencing great anxiety about maths.
Do you have a personal message for students?
I teach maths and science using every trick in the book: we learn jingles ("boo-boo-boo, the square root of two"); we visualize (it should be "square side" not "square root"); we start with reality and then go to equations and formula (what is the volume of this box? Fill it with 1x1 cm cubes and count them; then see if we can find an easier way to get the answer); we keep the syllabus in front of us so our current topic is "located"; we use every past paper we can get our hands on; we use Mathematica demonstrations and videos and on-line programs to help make maths and science vivid; plus old-fashioned flash cards; and we learn some history too: you will appreciate the Pythagorean Theorem if you know about Mr Pythagoras (who was probably not the first to discover it).

I keep up with current developments in Science and Maths teaching, and also try to follow what the cognitive psychologists are revealing about human memory, learning theory, dyslexia and dyscalcula. I am patient and empathetic -- I know exactly what it feels like to be drowning in a sea of frightening and incomprehensible symbols. I have helped lots of people pass their maths and/or science, and have tons of local references.

I hate the inane, Orwellian "Maths is Fun!" approach you see in some published material -- (how about "Having Root Canal Work is Fun")? But learning how to solve problems in maths and science, and apprehending the deep order of the universe that these subjects reveal, can be profoundly satisfying, which is far better than being "fun".
