About your tutor

Hello there! I'm Gavin Taylor the Sunderland MathsFix, a Mathematics tutor with a 1st Class Honours Master's degree in Natural Sciences(77%), specializing in Mathematics(80%) and Physics(73%). During my GCSEs, I achieved 1 A* with Distinction, 10A*s and 5As at GCSE, achieving 295/300 for Maths and 174/175 for Further Maths achieving an A* with Distinction, a grade higher than an A*. During my A Levels, I achieved 3A*s and 1A in A Level Mathematics(598/600), Further Mathematics(587/600), Further Mathematics(Additional)(526/600) and Physics(551/600). During college, I became so fascinated by Mathematics that I decided to self-study A Level Further Mathematics(Additional), which allowed me to study all the modules offered and enlightened me to the applications of mathematics to physics. My teaching philosophy revolves around making math enjoyable and accessible to all students, regardless of their proficiency level. I believe in creating a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. I specialize in teaching a wide range of math subjects, including Elementary School Math, GCSE Maths, Probability, Trigonometry, Algebra, Math, and Calculus. My goal is to help students not only understand the concepts but also see the real-world applications of math in various fields. To keep students engaged, I use a mix of traditional teaching methods and interactive activities to cater to different learning styles. I believe in personalized learning, where I tailor my approach to meet each student's unique needs and pace of learning. I'm excited to embark on this tutoring journey with you and help you unlock your full potential in mathematics! Let's make math fun and rewarding together.

Teaching methodology

I specialize in tutoring Elementary School Math, GCSE Maths, Probability, Trigonometry, Algebra, Math, and Calculus for students at all levels. My teaching style focuses on interactive, engaging, and concept-focused lessons. I believe in detailed problem-solving and encourage creativity in approaching math problems and I also create creative math problems to help make Maths more exciting than just repetitive problems. My tutoring style is to base lessons around the concepts/problems that students are struggling with and this allows me to tailor my lessons to your needs. Also, I will set and mark homework. I aim to help my students to gain a deep conceptual understanding of mathematics, rather than simply knowing techniques that they have rote learned or memorised: . Allowing them to understand and enjoy learning the subject. . Preventing them from struggling, when studying in later years, due to not understanding a prerequisite concept e.g. learning Algebra requires a strong understanding of arithmetic. . Preventing poor exam performance due to unconventional exam questions like Hannah's Sweets, which involved mixing Algebra with Probability. Let's embark on a mathematical journey together!
