About me

About Me Hi, I’m Jessica – a qualified Maths teacher (QTS), Edexcel GCSE Maths Examiner and Second in Faculty at a successful secondary school. I have over seven years of experience helping students develop confidence, improve their understanding and achieve their GCSE Maths goals. My career began as a specialist SEND Numeracy Teaching Assistant before qualifying as a teacher, giving me extensive experience supporting students of all abilities and learning needs. I now teach GCSE Maths every day and have an in-depth understanding of the Edexcel curriculum, exam requirements and the common misconceptions that prevent students from reaching their potential. I believe that every student can succeed in maths when it’s explained in the right way. My lessons are calm, encouraging and carefully structured to ensure students fully understand each topic before moving on. Rather than simply teaching students how to answer one question, I help them understand why methods work so they can confidently apply their knowledge to unfamiliar exam questions. Every lesson is tailored to the individual. Students receive clear explanations, guided practice, challenging exam-style questions, regular retrieval to strengthen long-term memory, and practical exam techniques that help maximise marks. I continually assess progress so lessons focus on the areas that will make the biggest difference. I specialise in supporting: • GCSE Maths (Edexcel Foundation & Higher) • Students aiming for a Grade 4 pass • Students striving for Grades 7–9 • Learners who have lost confidence in maths • Students with SEND who benefit from personalised teaching As an Edexcel examiner, I understand exactly how marks are awarded and the mistakes students commonly make. I use this knowledge to help students improve accuracy, develop effective exam technique and perform with confidence. Parents receive regular feedback on progress, and students benefit from high-quality resources and personalised support
