My name is Tom Royall and I'm a maths tutor based in Brighton! I'm an experienced and friendly former secondary school maths teacher and tutor. I immensely enjoy teaching one-to-one, and students and parents find me highly effective. I've taught privately over many years, and had extensive contracts for one-to-one work at many schools in Letchworth and, most recently, a 6th form college in Brighton (Kings). |
Students often struggle with maths at school because of misconceptions that are particular to them, and difficult to rectify in a whole class setting, and which lead to the student losing confidence. One-to-one tuition can be an excellent way to address these misconceptions. and enable the student to re-connect with their enjoyment of the subject. As a psychology graduate (before studying maths at university level), I have a fascination with how students themselves will approach a maths problem, and I'm good at allowing them to explore and develop their own ideas. I find they almost always have energy and enthusiasm for, say, a ratio or algebra problem, if they are allowed to explore it with cuisinaire rods or other easily accessible symbols. Also I use written teaching materials, some of the best of which happen to be past test papers. I also have some of my own A-level resources (see opposite). Direct enquiries from schools and colleges welcome. |
