About Me
My name is Jo Scholten. An excellent and experienced Maths teacher with twenty years’ experience teaching and leading maths at secondary level in some of the highest performing schools in Cambridge and Cambridgeshire. I graduated from the University of Cambridge in 1993 with an MA in Engineering. I went on to be awarded my post-graduate certificate in Education (Maths) from the University of Cambridge. Later in my career I was awarded the National Professional Qualification for Senior Leadership.
The decision about who to trust to tutor your child in Maths needs to be taken seriously. You are probably anxious about making the right choice. There are a lot of people offering Maths tutoring who are inexperienced and are not necessarily experts in their subject. You want to ensure that your child has the best possible chance of success.
Since graduating, I have worked in high-achieving schools, as well as working in the
University for a time. I worked with the Millennium Mathematics Project of which NRICH is a part. The Millennium Mathematics Project (MMP) is a maths education and outreach initiative for ages 3 to 19 and the general public. NRICH offer curriculum-linked resources for students aged 3-18, designed to nurture curious, resourceful and confident learners of school mathematics. I have worked as a Head of Maths and also held whole school positions.
If can look at the ofsted reports of these schools here: CCC; TCC. I have coached other teachers: trainee teachers, ECTs and experienced teachers looking to further their expertise with the National Centre for the Excellence for the Teaching of Maths.
I have experience as a GCSE Maths tutor for individual and small groups of students when working part-time.
I am also lucky enough to be the mother of 3 amazing children who are currently in sixth form and University, so I understand first hand the realities of parenting and supporting children through their GCSEs.
I have spent years perfecting excellent teaching and revision strategies and have developed a highly successful revision model which has been used successfully with hundreds of students.
