I have a maths degree from Kings College London and have been tutoring privately for the past 8 years. I started tutoring straight out of university. I loved the work and found it very fulfilling to see my efforts help a student succeed. So I decided to make tutoring my full time job and have been doing it ever since. My student base has grown organically over the years mostly through recommendations from happy students and their parents. Throughout the years I have also spent some time working in schools and contemplated the idea of getting a PGCE to become a qualified teacher, however I didn’t enjoy the experience of teaching in this environment and ultimately decided against it.
