Hi, I’m Gary, and I'll be your instructor for this course in National 5 Mathematics.
I'll be straight with you, I love Math! But I completely get that for most of us it's very challenging, and often frustrating. I'm here to help make it easier for you. I've taught many National 5 Maths students. I understand the sticking points and how to develop skills and boost confidence. I have a BSc Honours degree in Pure Mathematics and have been educated in both the UK and the US. I own and run a private tuition business where I've supported hundreds of Maths students.
