Approach to Teaching

"I hold a doctorate in Mathematics from the University of East Anglia and have collaborated with academics to develop the field while honing a range of skills such as academic writing and giving talks. I also have experience in community education, having worked as a part-time SEN teacher of Mathematics for a year where I taught GCSE and pre-GCSE material to young adults with learning difficulties. I have taught Mathematics to diverse communities in London, including predominantly Afro-Caribbean pupils in South and North London, Asian pupils in East London, and refugees in North London. I've also taught white working class and middle-class pupils in the East End and Surrey, respectively. My teaching experience includes Key Stage 3 and 4 at The Archbishop Michael Ramsey Technology College, a challenging school where I developed and improved my classroom management skills. I also taught at Coombe Girls' School in Surrey, a Beacon school where I focused on developing my teaching style and using skilful questioning in class discussions to elicit pupils' understanding. As a full-time teacher at The Royal Docks Community School in East London, I taught KS3 and KS4 Mathematics, designed exams, taught Foundation GCSE, and assessed coursework. I also offered pastoral and academic guidance to pupils and parents. At A-level, I taught pure maths, statistics, and mechanics at Crossways Academy and DLD College London. I encouraged able students to attend the Maths Club to stretch their thinking and prepare for various UKMT competitions. As a Year 13 Personal Tutor, I've honed my skills in writing first-rate UCAS references that show my tutees in the best possible light. I've also worked as an examiner for Key Stage 3 SATS, O-level and A-level for Cambridge International Examination board, and recently become an A-level examiner for Pearson Edexcel. I currently work as an online private tutor of maths."

Everything was new to me. Thank goodness I found Vijay. He was patient and calm. He explained everything in a simple way. He also prepared for our lessons, which saved loads of time. He made suggestions on which calculator to use and trained and taught me how to use it and apply everything I learnt in the exam. Most of all I appreciated him following up by text on how I was progressing, his messages before and after my exam were also appreciated. I fully recommend Vijay as he is a competent tutor who goes out of his way for his students. Statistics - I passed my module with a distinction, 78%! Best of luck to all!

Written by Anonymous P: Vijay is an excellent tutor. He turns up on time and is always prepared. He helped my daughter prepare for the 11+ and she was offered academic scholarships at all the schools to which she had applied. This would not have been possible without Vijay‘s help. Vijay is also now helping my son with further maths so his teaching skills are way beyond 11+ albeit he is able to relate to that stage very well. I have no hesitation in highly recommending him. Outcome: Academic scholarships from 3 private schools.
