About Kate Stubbs Tuition
South Brent, Devon

The individual student is at the heart of Kate’s planning; she identifies misconceptions and facilitates the students’ investigations to discover their own solutions, using a variety of stimulating activities to cater for individual learners. Kate and her students often make their own maths tools together, they also play and invent number games.

Sessions will be relaxed and tailored to meet the needs of the learner. They can be projects based on the learners’ interests and have included subjects from football, to wildlife, to business plans. With students and their parents, Kate will agree objectives and record targets as they are achieved.

Kate likes to encourage social practice, as this produces discussion, increases ownership, cognitive learning and critical thinking. It can also be fun, which cultivates a positive approach. Students may benefit from sharing lessons with a friend or family member, or may make new maths friends!

Some students will prefer the 1 to 1 lessons and they will be very welcome too.

This student is measuring objects in millimetres, centimetres and metres to discover how place value works. We simultaneously played an estimation game to visualise different lengths. He loves being outside, so was immersed in this activity and developing his ability to organise information clearly.

Kate’s qualifications are:

Diploma to Teach in the Lifelong Learning Sector (previously Cert Ed)
Specialist level 5 Diploma in Teaching Mathematics - this gives her a wide range of strategies to deal specifically with difficulties associated with learning maths
