Enthusiastic 1st Class Maths Graduate from Durham University - Maths tutor with Izzy

I have known Izzy Ashman since she was 3 years old, when I taught her at nursery school. I’ve remained friends with Izzy and her family since, and can recommend her for the position of maths tutor without hesitation. She is hard working, diligent, honest, kind, and great fun. She has helped entertain my string of foster children over the years without complaint, which takes some doing. You will be lucky to have her!

Izzy is a highly intelligent and hard-working woman who settled quickly to a new, more academic environment, gaining the respect of peers and staff alike. It came as no surprise when she was elected as a Prefect and went on to become Deputy Head of School. She joined Magdalen College School for Sixth Form from St Helen and St Katharine's School with an excellent set of GCSE results (11A* and 1A in Additional Maths). Academically first rate, she gained A* grades in Maths and Further Maths and A grades in Geography and Philosophy. Izzy is also an accomplished musician and was a member of the school's First Orchestra and Jazz Band. She is a keen sportswoman, and represented the school at netball and hockey. She was a strong and very funny ensemble player in a series of Chekhov farces that played at the Edinburgh Festival. For her Gold Duke of Edinburgh Award, she set up from scratch a Junior Geography Club, the success of which was due to her commitment and enthusiasm. Izzy has a mature rapport with others; she worked with children from local primary schools and she has the knack of getting the best out of young people. She brings a formidable self-motivation to her work. She is an able, trustworthy and very likeable individual who will be a dedicated and thorough tutor. I recommend her warmly and without hesitation.
