Tutor
Sorry, I am not accepting new students at the moment, but, if you click on the links to Mathematics and Latin in my subject list, you will find plenty of other tutors who are :-)
Hi, I am an Oxford (England) Maths Graduate with a Post Graduate teaching qualification (PGCE FE). I have been teaching Mathematics 1:1 since I was 14, when I began helping classmates, and I have had at least one or two private Maths pupils per year throught my working life. I also have over 10 years experience as a Lecturer in local Further Education Colleges, teaching Mathematics, Statistics and Computing. I specialise in coaching students preparing for UK GCSE, IGCSE and GCE A level Mathematics exams, and I can make quite a difference to a student’s performance in a very short time.
I also have around 10 years of Latin education behind me including a recent First Class Honours BA Humanities and Classical Studies degree from the Open University. I deliver tution in Classical Latin Language and Literature, including preparing students for the UK IGCSE papers and the USA National Latin Exam (NLE) as well as taking college students through the Wheelock’s Latin course.
I specialise in helping students working towards exams, particularly those struggling at the last minute. I can also help with developing exam strategies so that students do justice to their ability and effort.

Mair has really got my son chomping at the bit! He can't wait to see how the stories in the texts unfold. His confidence is growing as he finds more vocabulary is 'sticking' in his mind.
My son is really beginning to get into the language as a whole, and no longer sees it as a set of words to memorise.
Mair has the ability to get alongside the student and engage with them. She has inspired my son who had taken a break from a previous course-provider.
A most enjoyable session. My son has a heavy workload at the moment and Mair has adapted her lessons to accommodate his needs. Homework has been put on hold for the time being so he can have regular lessons in Latin, which he really enjoys. Mair obviously has the knack of capturing the imagination of our particularly bright and able son.
Lessons with Mair have become a regular slot for our son, who is enjoying studying with an intelligent and articulate tutor.
Mair is one of the best math teachers ever - in fact, she is one of the best teachers I have had in any subject. Her teaching style can be described as very patient and kind, yet keeps a steady pace so you can learn in good rhythm. She was helpful and patient with the technical problems relating to my webcam and microphone setup as well. I can honestly say I am really looking forward to learning more math with Mair. I give her the highest recommendation.
