A bit about Steven B

Thank you for viewing my profile! I am a friendly and compassionate Maths Tutor, and published academic author who is deeply passionate about tutoring and helping others to succeed. I have lectured part time at Halesowen College in the black country and have over 19 years of experience teaching Mathematics up to GCSE level on a ‘one to one’ basis. In the 2020 exams 100% of the students that I taught gained the equivalent of grade C or above in Mathematics at GCSE level, some even moved up two grades from their predicted level as a result of my one to one tuition. During this same exam period 100% of my students passed A level Mathematics gaining either A or B grades. I have presented and authored several Maths revision DVDs that have been sold on amazon.co.uk and used in UK schools as well as in other countries as far off as New Zealand and India. I am fully DBS checked in compliance with the protection of children act 1999. I can provide up to 3 references from parents of students that I have recently taught. My rates are very competitive and included in my fees are FREE Maths revision videos, notes and past papers. I am a graduate from the University of Aston Birmingham. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, a certificate in Mathematics from the Open University and have A levels in Maths, Physics, Economics and General Studies. In addition to my academic qualifications I also hold qualifications in youth counselling, mindfulness and safeguarding. I am qualified in youth mental health first aid and am able to assist particularly with students who are anxious or depressed. I have taught a wide range of students with varied abilities and conditions including ADHD, cerebral palsy, anxiety and depression. I specialise in helping students with low levels of confidence and self esteem to help them succeed and gain the results that they want. I feel deeply privileged to be able to help others achieve academically and make a difference to their lives. I start by making an initial assessment to see what areas the prospective student needs help with. I then formulate a personalised action plan and then progress through this on a weekly basis. I love helping people, it is as simple as that! I love see students progress, seeing them overcome difficulties that they once had and ultimately achieve the results that they deserve. I am very easy going, almost like a friend helping them. I like to explain concepts in an easy to understand way, so that it is easily retained. Mathematics is my subject. I teach students aged between 11 to 18. I also specialise in teaching children who have anxiety and or have low levels of confidence. 20 years ago officially, but even longer than that as I started out teaching my neighbour and managed to increase their grade from a D to a B back in 1998 whilst as an under graduate student myself. Very laid back and easy going. I find that this works best, as students don't perform well with strict and over bearing tutors. My teaching philosophy is to get that best out of every student that I teach. Every body has a talent and part of being a teacher is to get that out of every student. I taught a student who was in the bottom maths set who then went on to study A level Maths.
