Everyday numeracy

A £40 coat is 15% off. What do you pay?

10% of 40 = 4.00 5% of 40 = 2.00 15% = 6.00 40 − 6 = £34.00 ✓

Split it into 10% and 5%. No calculator needed.

I have taught since 2004 in mainstream comprehensive schools, private schools and special education needs schools. That mix means I have taught learners of very different ages, abilities and needs, and I adapt to each of them.

My subjects have included ICT from Key Stage 3 to Key Stage 5, Media Studies from GCSE to A level, and primary maths, numeracy and literacy. Tutoring lets me give each learner the time and attention a busy classroom can't.

I explain things step by step, check understanding as we go, and keep lessons focused on what you need next.
