About Lisa
Now in my tenth year of classroom teaching and private tuition of maths and the sciences, I have an excellent track record of boosting student grades. Over the last seven years I have successfully tutored over fifty students in Maths and the sciences through the changes to the GCSEs and A-levels. Since September 2017 I have provided intervention groups, revision courses and one-to-one tuition for local schools and colleges at GCSE and A-level.
Online experience: I have tutored students from age 9 to 21 online, mostly in Maths but also in the Sciences. Having tried several options, my favoured platform is BitPaper (bitpaper.io) which is a free online whiteboard where I can cut and paste in questions or other activities which can then be "written" on by the student via a laptop or tablet using a mouse, stylus or keyboard. It also has audio and video capabilities. However, for students without fast broadband or a microphone, a simple phone call at the same time is often easier. Some students prefer to copy down a question, then take a photo with their phone and send it to me using WhatsApp. I aim to be as flexible as possible and am happy to adapt my choice of platform to student requirements and the technology they have available.

I aim to develop enjoyment and confidence in the subject by using a problem-solving approach to exam questions in which I provide a supportive environment for students to work things out for themselves as much as possible. This is the best way to encourage deep learning.
If working towards an exam we will work closely with the syllabus and past exam papers to target revision in the most effective way, paying particular attention to what is needed to jump over the next grade boundary.
Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Lisa taught maths to IGCSE and A Level standard for three years at Abbey College. I was her head of department.
Lisa was well organised with a very good understanding of the subject to advanced level and a genuine interest in maths which she conveyed well to the students. She was new to teaching and made considerable progress in learning how to manage a class. Our student body posed few significant disciplinary challenges but many students did have some language difficulties, being EFL students. Lisa had a good background in EFL and coped well with this.
Lisa left the college because we did not have enough work to continue to offer her employment and she undertook a DTLLS course. As her former department head, I was asked to be involved with her monitoring and witnessed further improvement in her teaching skills, particularly with small groups and individuals, where I believe her skills are best employed.
I know of no reason why Lisa should not be employed working with young and/or vulnerable persons.View more recommendations
