I taught Maths for ten years in both private preparatory schools, and secondary schools (in Surrey and Somerset.) I also successfully ran, for six years, my own private maths tuition business in Guildford. I have a First-Class Degree in Mathematics/Economics from the University of Surrey.
Maths is a subject that, often, students of any age are simply afraid of. Building confidence in a student that they do have the ability (and everyone does) is absolutely vital. To this end, tailoring what and how I teach to the needs of the individual is really important. It is also a subject that, sometimes, needs to be explained in very different ways to different students. For example, one student will understand algebra in a very theoretical way, others relate better to a "real-life" comparison. You have to be very flexible in your ideas and approaches as a Maths teacher, and that's something that I have always prided myself on being able to do.

Stephen is a wonderful teacher who knew exactly how to help my son who was struggling with maths in the French school system. It was great to hear them both laughing through the whole lesson, which my son described afterwards as "really not bad at all" - high praise indeed from a 15 year old mathsophobe.
