TESTIMONIALS

I have been singing your praises as the only maths tutor we’ve ever found who really works on the fundamentals of mathematics and makes maths dynamic and fun for kids

You made a difference in my understanding and love for Maths, as well as inspired me to try to teach students of my own.

 

I currently work as a tutor part-time alongside my full-time career; I found your pedagogy truly motivating and effective as a student, and I try to draw inspiration from your lessons in my teaching!

Professional, reliable and enthusiastic. Basically, a fantastic tutor!

We are so lucky to have Jackie as our Daughter’s maths tutor. She is exceptionally gifted as a teacher, she has the talent and knowledge to transform any lesson into a valuable educational experience. She makes sure her lessons are fun even when a concept is challenging and complicated. What a star!

In Year 10 I found algebra really hard, … Using different learning methods, things kept clicking in my head. It was like a light turning on inside. I think what made it so easy was the way Mrs Fairchild described it. It was the way she linked things together which made it so easy to understand.

I’d like to thank you for your contribution to the development of the new secondary curriculum and, in particular, the use of your school as a case study to show the new curriculum in action. … Thank you for allowing a film crew to come into your school to capture some of the excellent work that you’re doing.

I would just like to put into words and thank you for the help and assistance you have given to my son in teaching him maths. He really enjoys the lessons with you as you have given him a lot more confidence with learning and understanding maths.
I am a great believer that you learn a lot more with a good teacher.  But not only do you have to have the knowledge of your subject , but the methodology of teaching is where the real skill is required. This is what I think you excel at.
I am so happy that I have you as his maths tutor and I am more convinced than ever that due to you his life chances will be greatly increased. Hopefully his dream comes true with your help!

Jackie has been an absolute god-send. Fabulous work ethic, friendly, encouraging and intensely clever yet humble. She has improved our daughter’s confidence no end, and the results, of course, have followed. Maths is no longer feared but stimulating. Jackie also accommodates us in our own house which is an added bonus. I cannot recommend Jackie highly enough. An ‘A star’ Tutor!

Thank you isn’t enough to repay you for everything you’ve done for me. Your time and effort in teaching us is what has got me through the last two years. I couldn’t have done it without you. I don’t know anyone who puts so much commitment into teaching their students so I hope I do you proud.

Jackie is an inspirational maths teacher. She makes maths clear, achievable and fun. Her enthusiasm about maths is infectious. My son loves her lessons and his confidence and ability have grown enormously

Thank you so much for all your help and support this year. I’ve learnt so much from you, you’re a brilliant leader and I look forward to working with you next year and learning more.

I find coaching sessions with Jackie both thought-provoking and motivating. Jackie has helped me to sift, sort and clarify my personal professional aspirations and develop a clear vocabulary with which to communicate with others. I have particularly valued the insights into patterns of career shifts and change which she shared with me and which lent structure to my thought processes and deliberations. What is also very satisfying about working with Jackie is having something concrete to do as a direct result of our discussions and which feed directly into my work.

I found Jackie’s sessions really helpful, and together we worked on how to work towards achieving my goals. The steps were bite sized so I didn’t feel overwhelmed, and she was warm and encouraging every step of the way!

You are without doubt the best teacher of maths I have ever seen

Thank you Jackie for making a difference and for making maths so fun!

I used to hate maths and dread it whenever it was maths next at school, when I go back I think it will be my favourite subject! Thank you! And thanks to you I now love maths! 

Jackie Fairchild is a very good coach and I strongly recommend her. She was extremely helpful in helping me figure out the direction I want to give to my career and the type of roles that are best suited to my personality and aspirations

I have hugely benefited from my coaching sessions with Jackie. She has helped me to re-evaluate assumptions I had about my career and role suitability and her insights and flexibility have been invaluable in helping me to get what I really want out of my work life.

Our son really enjoys his lessons with Sarah. She takes the time to find out what his interests are and varies the lessons accordingly. Seeing the world through his eyes turns tricky areas into something interesting for him. He has made great progress in a short amount of time.

This lesson is exemplary and, like all the lessons I have seen from Jackie, I wish I had videoed it. This lesson was based on an approach to mathematics learning which is deep seated in mathematical thinking and takes account of the cognitive and social development of students. Seldom have I seen such a coherent intelligent approach to teaching. In my extensive experience of observing lessons internationally I have seen few lessons to compare to this.

You helped me beat those odds! Jackie thank you for being a fantastic teacher!

I just wanted to say thank you very much for all your help and support throughout this year, it has helped me so much with staying motivated and getting the grades I want.

Thank you so much for your expert tuition

Thank you for teaching me for the past two years! You made me enjoy maths even more than I had before. You’re truly a great teacher. You would always help me whenever I am stuck. You’d encourage me whenever I just want to give up. Most of all you never gave up on me when I am moody, angry, mad and sad. You always manage to find out what was wrong with me and make me feel better. I will miss your enthusiasm on maths and your determination at making students reach their full potential!

Jackie Fairchild is a real find, a truly gifted maths teacher who understands how children learn and has worked within the exam and education sectors – Lucky to have her!
