Jocelyn S.

Jocelyn studied Mathematics at the University of York before completing her teacher training at the University of Cambridge. She went on to spend 11 years teaching in a sixth form college, where she led a successful Mathematics Department and developed a passion for supporting students to achieve their potential.

Jocelyn now delivers revision courses for Physics & Maths Tutor, examines for Edexcel and works as a subject specialist adviser to Pearson. Most recently, she completed an MA in Education at Goldsmiths, University of London, graduating with Distinction.

Jocelyn finds that many students have become accustomed to a more ‘spoon-fed’ approach to learning, so she prefers to engage them in discussion around the fundamental concepts, helping them to develop a deeper understanding and rebuild a solid foundation. Her sessions focus predominantly on working through past-paper questions and collaboratively developing a concise set of revision notes. Students are therefore encouraged to make their own notes during each session and revisit them in preparation for the following week, helping to reinforce their understanding and build confidence over time.
