A maths teacher who actually loves teaching
Hi, I’m Deb White. I’ve spent the last 15 years helping students of all ages discover that maths isn’t the enemy — it’s just a language that takes time to learn.
I started tutoring privately after years in the classroom because I wanted to work one-on-one — no rushed lessons, no teaching to the middle, no student left behind. Every kid I work with gets my full attention and a plan built around them.
Qualifications

How Deb works
Three things every student can count on.
Find the gap, fill the gap
Every student who struggles with new material has a missing piece from earlier. Deb's first job is always to find it.
Patience without limits
There's no such thing as a dumb question. Deb will explain the same concept ten different ways until it clicks.
Progress you can see
After every session, students leave with a clear sense of what they learned and what to work on next.
“Every student I’ve ever taught who ‘hated maths’ actually just missed something earlier on. Once we find it and fix it, the whole subject changes for them.”
