Welcome from Jackie

Hi, my name is Jackie Biggs. When tutoring, I try to make Maths meaningful I try to link the topics I teach to everyday life, or to previous learning. I am also very approachable.

Teaching experience

I teach Mathematics; tutoring high school children in years 7 to 11, up to GCSE. Currently I tutor on line, using Zoom.

I am a fully qualified Mathematics teacher. I obtained a BSc (Hons) in Physics from the University of Essex in 1986 and a PGCE in Maths from the Open University in 2005. I obtained my Qualified Teacher Status from teaching at the Chauncy school in Ware, Hertfordshire in 2005 .

I have tutored maths for over 15 years; many of my students have improved on their predicted grade and many have achieved an A grade at GCSE.

When I tutor, I check the student’s current knowledge by asking them how to do certain tasks. Once we have discovered and worked on any weak areas, we can make progress to their desired outcome.

To get an idea of my approach, you can see that I have written four mathematics books (key stage 3 level) which are currently available on Amazon (search for ‘Jacqueline Biggs’).

TESTIMONIAL

Jackie tutored both my children for GCSE Maths, and got one from a predicted C to an achieved A, and the other a predicted fail to an achieved B. They still sing her praises now. She's calm, innovative, involved and supportive as a tutor, with a series of four published books on the subject, available from Amazon. I would have no hesitation in awarding her tutor of the decade, and recommending her for virtual and in-person tutoring!

TESTIMONIAL

Jackie has tutored both my daughters in Maths GCSE. She is a very approachable, patient and friendly tutor who gave a great deal of support particularly to my older daughter who found some aspects of the course quite challenging. She had great knowledge of the syllabus and would arrive with a prepared topic for each lesson and optional homework to be completed between each session. I would highly recommend her.
