Chris Haycock: Adult Numeracy & Literacy Tutor – Profile:
I am also now experienced at teaching Adult Numeracy & Literacy tuition for many years, and I have had great success in these tuitions too. I am especially experienced in preparing adult students for QTS Numeracy & Literacy tests.
I have a 100% success rate for QTS Numeracy & Literacy Tests- all 5 students, who sat their entrance tests, passed their Numeracy Tests with me. I also helped 2 of them to pass Literacy tests as well. I helped all of them improve significantly in their marks in the process. One of them had scored 9 out of 30 (pass mark was 18) on her 1st Numeracy test, but after 2 weeks’ tutoring with me, she scored 18 out of 30, to pass the test.
Another had scored 15 out of 30 on the 1st Numeracy Test, but she then improved to score 22 out of 30 to pass her exam. I also tutored this same lady for the QTS Literacy Test. She had failed the test before with a score of 16 out of 30 (pass mark was 18), but after 2 weeks’ tuition with me, she passed with a score of 24 out of 30.
Another student improved from an initial score of 9 out of 30, to score 18 out of 30 to pass her Numeracy Test. This student also asked me to help her to pass a GCSE Maths Equivalency Test, which she still needed to pass to get on a PGCE Teacher Training Course.
When I assessed her to begin with, through an initial exam paper, she only scored 32%, but after 10 days’ tuition with me, she then scored 78% in her exam (pass mark was 75) to pass her exam, and so was able to go on her PGCE course (I have a written reference from this student below).
I have also provided Adult Numeracy tuition to prepare students for many other Numeracy tests for various career qualifications, such as Nursing, Police, Royal Navy and the Army.
Adult Numeracy Testimonials for Chris:
“I came to Chris at first to help me to pass the QTS Numeracy Test, in order to go on to study a PGCE, with a very intense two-week time scale. With Chris’s fantastic help and daily support, I managed to improve my marks, from first failing by 9 marks, to then failing only by 1 mark after just one week. After another week of tuition, I successfully passed the QTS test on my third and final attempt.
Soon afterwards, I again came to Chris, with an even tighter timescale of a week and a half to pass the GCSE Equivalency GCSE Maths exam. Yet again, because of his constant support and dedication, my grades improved from 32% to 78% (a pass ) in just under 2 weeks. Without Chris’ admirable patience and wonderful support, I wouldn’t have been able to go to University this year.”

“This is the first time I have needed a tutor and I was honestly nervous about the whole process. Christopher has been excellent. He’s a professional tutor with an awful a lot of maths knowledge. He has tailored the lessons to my individual needs and I have made good progress using the new methods and advice Chris has given me. I would definitely recommend him as a numeracy QTS tutor”.
