Hi, I’m Ceri
Qualified teacher supporting teens to build confidence in maths
I’m a qualified teacher with over a decade of experience supporting students both in and out of the classroom. I specialise in helping secondary students build confidence in maths, particularly those who find the subject challenging due to gaps in understanding, maths anxiety, or low confidence.
| Patience | Clarity | Understanding |
| Students are given time to understand concepts properly without pressure. | Mathematics is broken down into clear, manageable steps. | Every lesson is adapted to the individual student’s needs. |
My approach is rooted in patience, clarity, and understanding.
I work with students of all abilities, including those who are neurodiverse, to help them strengthen their understanding step by step and develop the confidence they need to make progress.
Lessons are calm, structured, and tailored to each individual, ensuring students feel supported rather than rushed or overwhelmed.
Why I do this
Maths was not always easy for me. Believe it or not I once had a U in maths! So I get it when your teen is struggling, I understand what it feels like when an exam doesn’t go to plan.
But one teacher changed the way I saw the subject by helping me truly understand it, and that experience stayed with me. The biggest gift that teacher gave me was belief, he believed in me until I caught up.
It showed me that with the right support, every student can make sense of maths in their own way. So now I will believe in your teen until they catch up.
What I support students with
I work with secondary students who want to:
- rebuild confidence in maths
- close gaps in understanding
- feel less anxious about exams
- catch up with missed learning
- improve their overall performance
- achieve a particular grade to access college/sixth form
Whether a student is working towards GCSEs or simply trying to feel more confident in class, support is always tailored to their needs.
My belief
I believe maths should feel accessible, not intimidating.
With the right guidance, patience, and encouragement, every student can develop both understanding and confidence in the subject.
