About

My name is Richard Sleeman and I am a qualified mathematics teacher based in Somerset in the UK providing online tutoring for students both in the UK and worldwide.

I began teaching maths in 2009 after completing an engineering degree at Cardiff University. I qualified in the UK and have taught in both the state and independent sectors, working as Deputy Head of Maths at two schools. I also taught internationally in Portugal for 5 years. My teaching has covered all abilities across the age range from 11 to 18 and I am experienced supporting students with GCSE, IGCSE, A Level and the IB Diploma at HL and SL.

I aim to make maths engaging and enjoyable for the students I teach. The approach will be dependent on the age and ability of the individual and will be designed to help them to reach their potential. This comes from ensuring students develop a deep understanding of the skills and topics covered and are able to practise applying these skills across a range of questions in different contexts.

If you have any questions or are interested in having tutoring please do get in touch.

Lessons

Most students encountered some sort of online lessons during the COVID-19 pandemic but may have had mixed experiences. Individual online tutoring is very different to large group lessons and is actually very similar to in person tutoring.

I use Google Meet for video calls alongside Figma as an interactive collaborative whiteboard. This allows me and the student to write on the same board where we can both see what the other writes in real time.

Ideally, students will need the use of a tablet or other touchscreen device to enable them to write easily in Jamboard. I use a Wacom One tablet which connects straight to a computer via USB and allows me to write with the included stylus pen.

Fees

Individual online tuition is charged at £56 for a 1 hour session.

Group sessions are available and are suitable for students of a similar age and ability.

Group sessions for 2 students are charged at £35 per student for a 1 hour session.

For enquiries about groups larger than 2 students please get in touch.
