Mathematics, Economics, UCAS Personal Statements
An LSE Mathematics with Economics graduate who went on to train as a secondary Maths teacher, Ladan focuses on building the self-belief students need to enjoy their subject and do their best.
Ladan graduated from the London School of Economics with a BSc in Mathematics with Economics. At her mixed comprehensive school she achieved 7 A*s at GCSE and five A-levels, including an A* in Maths completed in one year.
Ladan worked in the aerospace and renewable energy sectors in the UK and Denmark before beginning a PGCE in Secondary Mathematics with QTS in North London. She has four years of tutoring experience, including online tuition, and more than 200 hours of secondary maths tuition. She began teaching at 15, running a drama club at her local Persian language school, and has helped friends studying for ACCA and CFA qualifications with their maths.
Ladan has found that students who struggle are usually held back by a lack of confidence rather than ability, so building self-belief is central to her teaching. She builds a strong rapport with each student to understand their strengths, weaknesses and interests, and keeps lessons fun, productive and efficient.
