About Joanna
Strong foundation in Maths and Learning Science
Joanna is an education and science undergraduate majoring in mathematics, giving her a solid grasp of the content your child will be learning at school. Alongside her maths studies, she explores how students actually learn, drawing on ideas such as cognitive load theory to keep explanations clear and manageable. This tutor focuses on building understanding step by step, helping students gain confidence with number skills, problem solving and the language of maths, rather than just memorising procedures.
Trained in Modern Teaching Strategies
With a background in education (honours), Joanna is trained in a range of scientific teaching strategies that suit different types of learners. She thinks carefully about how to break down complex ideas, when to use visual supports and how to check that a student has really βgot itβ before moving on. In sessions, this tutor adjusts her approach based on each childβs responses, using targeted questioning and worked examples to make maths feel more approachable and less intimidating.
Safe, supportive and engaging learning environment
Joanna holds a current Working with Children Check and takes her responsibility to students seriously. She aims to create a calm, encouraging space where it is completely fine to ask questions and make mistakes. This tutor likes to connect maths to everyday situations, so students can see why it matters and feel more motivated. By combining her formal training in education with a friendly, downtoearth style, she helps students build both skills and self-belief over time.
