What do I enjoy most about tutoring? ๐
I enjoy helping students find their 'lightbulb' moment. Subjects like maths can be frustrating if you don't get the answer first time. I like helping students find different methods to complete questions that suit their learning methods. It's a great feeling when a child says "maths actually doesn't suck.", and it's great to know I helped them get to that point.My Strengths as Tutor ๐ช
As an approachable and friendly tutor, I am patient and good at finding alternative ways to explain a concept if a student is confused. I really enjoy the subject and am creative, often finding more engaging ways to cover content. For example, using techniques like gamification to prove to students maths isn't as boring as they think.Most important things I can do for a student ๐
I think it's important to listen to the student and pause where needed. I recognise that sometimes it's not about covering all of the planned content, but really going into detail over the important concepts so they can apply it in different situations. I also think it's important for a tutor to be able to adapt to each child's needs. It's a unique opportunity to tailor your teaching to individuals, rather than a class, and finding out their preferred learning techniques is a great way to value their time and help them get the most out of the lesson.Tutoring students in ๐ฆ ๐ง

About Victoria
Experienced Maths and English Tutor for Ages 7โ16
Victoria is a mathematics graduate who tutors English and maths online for students aged 7โ16. She regularly leads remote lessons, explaining tricky ideas in several different ways until they click, and helps students break down tasks into clear, manageable steps. Her background in higher-level maths means she can support both consolidation and extension, while her strong English skills help students improve reading, writing, and exam-style responses. This tutor focuses on building understanding, not just getting through homework.
Creative, Confidence-Building Classroom Experience
Beyond online tutoring, Victoria has taught maths in primary classrooms as a STEM ambassador, designing engaging lessons that go beyond the standard curriculum. She uses applied, real-world examples so students see why maths matters, and she makes sure quieter children are drawn into activities through questions and hands-on tasks. As a volunteer teaching assistant for English, she helped students practise natural conversation and cultural understanding, which she now weaves into speaking and writing activities to make learning more enjoyable and memorable.
Organised, Approachable and Skilled Communicator
This tutor is highly organised, used to planning lessons around different time zones and managing her workload independently. She brings strong communication skills from presenting to groups, volunteering at childrenโs events, and working with families from a wide range of backgrounds. Victoriaโs love of travel and surfing often appears in her examples and problems, helping students connect learning with real interests. Parents can expect clear feedback, structured sessions, and a calm, friendly presence that encourages students to ask questions and stay curious.
