Private Maths Tutor in Cheltenham & Tewkesbury
Expert Maths Tutoring for KS3, GCSE & A-Level
Former Director of Mathematics with 25+ years’ teaching experience. Helping students in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire and online build confidence and get the grades they deserve.
Hello, I’m Tina, and I’ve spent my life teaching maths
I’m a former Director of Mathematics and Assistant Head of Mathematics, with over 25 years of teaching experience in UK secondary schools and in India.
I’ve also had the privilege of mentoring trainee teachers and Early Career Teachers, helping them find their own way of making maths make sense. I’m genuinely passionate about the subject, especially about encouraging young women to carry on and take A-level maths.
These days I tutor privately, because one-to-one is where I see the biggest change. It gives me the time to listen, to find the gap, and to explain an idea in as many different ways as it takes until a student says, “oh, I get it now.”
One-to-one maths tuition at every stage
KS3 Maths
Strong foundations, built calmly. We fill the gaps early so that number, algebra and geometry feel familiar rather than frightening, so GCSE starts from a place of confidence.
