WHAT ARE THE GROUP CLASSES?

The Group classes are 1 hour long online sessions designed for GCSE students with the aim of developing their knowledge and skills. The classes act as a supplement for Year 10’s and Year 11’s to help them prepare for their mocks and eventually their real exams. This will be done by focusing on developing exam technique, going over exam style questions while consolidating any concepts as we go along. Different exam questions will be covered every session, with the aim to get through as much of the syllabus as possible, so students are in the best possible position come May. The classes will be running weekly until the end of exams in the summer.

PROGRESS CGECKS

Just as with school, it is important that a student’s progress is tracked. Ensuring that no student 'slips through the gap'. Every half term, a test is created. The content of the test will be based on all topics that have been taught during that term. The test will take roughly an hour to complete, the length of an online class. The next class will consist of me going through the solutions to the test.

How students’ performance perform on the test allows me to assess how a student is getting on with the classes and feedback is provided to the parents. There will be roughly 4/5 tests each year, following the number of half terms during the academic year.

ONLINE NOTES

During the classes, I use Microsoft OneNote. This is a digital notebook which automatically syncs and saves my notes as I am presenting to the class. I share these notes with my students, allowing them to go over any questions we cover in the class, and I always set additional questions for students to try for themselves for homework. There are solutions to every question, so a student can easily check their answers.

There is also a search function, so if a student wants to revise a specific topic and access questions relating to that topic, they can do so with ease. This is useful if a student has been doing a certain topic in class, and they’d like to find more questions to practice with.

These notes are a good way for students to push themselves with extra work, so I highly recommend they make use of these notes in each class. It can also be a good source of revision for the half term tests, and their exams in general.

MICROSOFT TEAMS

Contact is not limited to the weekly sessions; the students are able to have regular contact with me via the channels created in Microsoft Teams. MS teams is where I post all resources for students to access such as class notes, videos, pdf’s and so on. Any announcements such as lesson times, upcoming assignments are also posted in MS Teams. In addition, students are also expected to work with their peers from time to time, the aim is to create a community of support throughout the course of the year, so a student never feels alone or overwhelmed.

I would like to recommend Dan, he only started to work with my daughter for around 12 weeks, just prior to the GCSEs ... Luckily for us he had a slot on his group online sessions. I'm thinking if she never got that help from him then it might have been another story lol 😆 My daughter said she learnt "Stuff" from Dan's sessions. Whatever Stuff means lol We thank you so Much!! Dan, you need to showcase that your students 100% Pass or whatever %. Dan needs to be Nationwide and the kids say his Cool 😎, so that's a Plus!!! 🤣definitely enrol your child & very affordable🙏🏽💕Stay Blessed!!!read more

Daniel words can't express my gratitude for your input in my daughter's successful A-level outcomes. Before you came... into my daughters life, she had no hope of passing Maths so she put it on the back seat to focus on the subjects that she was already mastering. Daniel, from the very first lesson, my daughter had with you, she realised the possibility of passing Maths. After only 3 months of tutoring only once per week, my daughter passed Maths A-level along with 3 other subjects and is on her way to Oxford University. I hope my daughter writes her own review because she is impressed with your teaching skills and she thinks you're a Maths genius.I appreciate that you always provided feedback and suggestions to me, even when I don't ask for it. This helped me to support my daughter in the months leading up to her exam.Daniel, you really care for your students which is evident in you providing free online lessons for your students and whoever was sitting exams in the weeks leading up to the exam, which my friend daughter benefitted from and commented how useful the sessions were.I will definitely recommend you.Thank you for preparing my daughter for the journey ahead and making the world a better place.Rockell Pattersonread more

So glad I found Dan for tutoring my daughter. She is in year 11 and therefore was due to sit her GCSE but had lost... confidence in herself and starting panicking due to upcoming exam. Dan had made her regain confidence through this understanding, explanations and patience. Whilst on the sessions my daughter had said how he is amazing at explaining methods and wished he was her teacher at school as she now understands soo much more. She completed her last GCSE Maths yesterday and came back happy as she was able to complete all of the paper, something I didn’t think I would see. Dan is also thorough and polite when messaging parents to advise on any details. Would definitely recommend 💯read more

Daniel has been tutoring my daughter for the last two years to support and prepare her for GCSE exams. Daniel's... tutoring has been the best investment we have ever made into our child's education. Daniel is the most skilled and resourced professional who always has his pupil's interests as his priority. We first booked lessons with Daniel when my daughter needed to cover gaps in her knowledge left by the lack of teaching during the Pandemic. Soon, it became clear that Daniel was making a marked difference in my daughter's learning; Her maths achievements started to improve. Her homework was no longer a chore for her, she was getting amazing results in her school assessments and mock exams. Her confidence in maths increased noticeably, she started enjoying maths and appreciating her mathematical abilities and skills and decided to pursue maths at A level. Dan created a learning environment where my daughter can fully display her good understanding of maths as well as her lack of knowledge or failure to grasp. She is encouraged to ask and ask and ask again when/if she does not understand, forgets or finds something does not make sense. She knows how to question until finds the solution to the difficult questions. Dan supported my daughter's education with his own hard work and dedication to bring out the best in his students, he brought her to the point where she can face her upcoming exams without any fear of failure but the expectation of success. Daniel is always teaching, there is always an accessible group lesson or a free lesson available.Daniel is the most respectful and considerate professional, he is very approachable, friendly, understanding and always happy to help. Dan's openness to communicate makes thighs so much easier for us. He is always willing to understand and listen to our circumstances and find a solution. Dan is very organised, has lots of group and private options on offer. He knows how to make teaching maths enjoyable, effective and rewarding. My daughter found Daniel's teaching method and delivery always lead to the achievement of her desired marks. We are very proud of our daughter's gained confidence and knowledge and her level of preparedness for her upcoming GCSE exams 2023.Thank you very much!read more

My son is in year 10 and has been working with Daniel, online for just over a year. In this time my son’s confidence in... maths has increased significantly. He has moved from middle to top set in maths. Daniel had developed a great relationship with my son and has a gentle and encouraging approach to teaching. We will be working with Daniel until my son completes his GCSEs. I would not hesitate to recommend Daniel. Thanks Dan!!read more

Dan was the best option for my Children. He is young and so got on very well with my kids. His great communication... during lessons allowed my kids to very quickly learn topics that they used to struggle learning at school. He always made sure the lessons were fun and interactive which removed the boring side of revision. My kids really benefited from him and one of them managed to get a grade 8 in maths, which is 2 grades higher than his mock grade just months before. In just a couple of months, he managed to inspire my kids to push forward and achieve their goals. Thank you Dan.read more

I can’t recommend Daniel enough! My Daughter who has dyscalculia has always struggled with maths to the point she would... have anxiety attacks preparing herself for maths class the next day. 3 months before her GCSE’s she relented and said I’ll give tutoring a try. Daniel has a great approach and instantly put her at ease. He teaches tips and tricks that really work. Her school teacher actually made several comments of, ‘Who taught you how to do that, your tutor?’ After only 3 months of weekly sessions my daughter had gone from grade 2, never passing a maths exam, to passing her GCSE with a high grade 4. Thanks to Daniel she can take an extra A level subject instead of resitting maths! ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️read more

My daughter has always struggled with Maths. After her mock exam, we decided to use Dan to help boost her confidence in... Maths. After just a few months, her confidence and understanding of maths improved alot and she managed to pass her Maths GCSE!! Dan’s calm and friendly approach with banter in between really helped her to relax, which took away her previous anxiety around maths. Now he is tutoring my son in preparation for GCSES next year, I look forward to returning here with another great testimony 🤞🏾😊read more

Dan you’ve been amazing with my daughter💫. You helped her gain confidence in a subject that she was struggling with.... Through your help, in such a short space of time, she flew from a 4 to a 6. Thank-you for going above and beyond, communicating with both myself and my daughter before and after lessons, ensuring that she’s understood the content delivered and for checking if she needed extra support. I will definitely recommend you to other parents who need help for their children. Keep up the good job!👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾read more

Daniel worked really well with my son. My son found the sessions with Daniel to be enjoyable and engaging. His method... of working made difficult matters much easier to digest and take-in. He was also very encouraging of my son which in turn made my son want to go the extra mile to try to do as well as he could -- which he did. And his A-Level result was testament to this. Would highly recommend Maths with Dan.read more

It is my pleasure to have Daniel as my son's tutor, he is excellent at his job.My son looks forward to his lesson on... Saturdays, and he told me "Daniel is patient and calm, Daniel actually listens and explains clearly and precisely, always checking if I understand and we do some practice activities to double check my understanding before we continue".
