My Teaching Philosophy

Education is more than just imparting knowledge; it’s about inspiring true understanding and fostering independent thought. At the core of my teaching philosophy lies the commitment to tailor each lesson to the unique needs of you or your child. This personalised approach ensures that learning is not only effective but also engaging and enjoyable.

I believe in building a solid foundation where critical thinking and problem-solving skills are at the forefront. By focusing on understanding rather than rote memorisation, students are equipped to apply their knowledge creatively and confidently across different scenarios.

Each tutoring session is designed to challenge yet encourage students, promoting an environment where they can thrive academically. Through strategic learning techniques that adapt to individual learning styles, I help students not only achieve their academic goals but also gain a lifelong appreciation for learning.

Jerome has changed Will’s view on maths and this is shown by the fact Will has gone up by a grade in his Mocks and his teacher in our recent parents evening commented on how incredible the change is in Will and is very proud of him and acknowledged the support he has had outside of school from his tutor.

Gemma C

My son had 1-1 maths tutoring with Jerome from January until 11+ day. In that time, he came on leaps and bounds, not just in his 11+ practice, but at school also where he went from ‘Expected’ to ‘Advanced’ in just a few months. He always looked forward to the sessions, as Jerome takes the time to get to know the child, and how to get the best out of them. Nearer the time, Jerome also spent time going through English and Verbal Reasoning with my son, focusing on weaker areas and ensuring he was prepared for the exam. My son passed (which was by no means a given!) and is looking forward to starting at Poole Grammar this September. I would absolutely recommend Jerome, especially if your son or daughter needs some 1-1 coaching in certain areas.

Greg H

Jerome has been instrumental in tutoring our 16 year old daughter through GCSEs. Due to some health issues, our daughter was really behind in Maths after missing school. She is now taking the higher tier paper. Jerome had also been fantastic in tutoring our son for the 11+. Both children really enjoy his style and he can really home in on gaps in learning and turn them into strengths. I would highly recommend Jerome.

Louise C

Over the past 18 months, my daughter has been tutored by Jerome, and the progress she’s made in her maths skills and confidence is remarkable. Her teachers have also noticed this positive transformation. From initially lacking confidence in Maths, she has become an actively engaged student, achieving good marks in her GCSE mock exams and voluntarily participating in the Further Maths club after school. She now hopes to take Maths and Further Maths for her A-levels, which is testament to how far she has come. Thank you Jerome, for your invaluable guidance and support.

Sola F

Our son totally lacked confidence in maths and was worried about his GCSE’s. We heard about Jerome and how he helped a friend’s son. Wished we had found him sooner as maths is no longer a worry, our son has just completed his mocks with so much more confidence and this is all down to Jerome. He is patient, kind, reassuring, positive and cool!

Liz M

Maths with Jerome has given my son a clear understanding and a confidence he needed to produce the results he is now attaining, and his passion for Maths has returned. I highly recommend Jerome.
