About Mrs Gracie
Hello and welcome to Mrs Gracie Maths!
I am a highly experienced and qualified Maths Teacher and KS4 Maths Lead based in Surrey. For over 10 years I have taught at one of the best comprehensive secondary school and sixth form colleges in the country. I believe that all students have the ability to flourish in maths and it is our jobs as teachers to help unlock that potential, therefore due to my passion for helping to grow students confidence in Maths I also offer private tutoring.
*97% of our Year 11s in 2023 passed their GCSE maths (national average of 61%) with 52% achieving a grade 7 or above, compared with 17% nationally.
My approach is to be patient and encouraging and I can work either with the schools scheme of work or by creating a personalised plan for your child.
I have taught a range of abilities and ages preparing for:
Year 6 SATS
11 plus exams
KS3 assessments
GCSE Higher and Foundation exams (both Edexcel and AQA)
Functional Skills exams (Edexcel)
GCSE Further Maths Level 2 exams (AQA)
AS Level Maths exams (Edexcel Applied and Pure)
A Level Maths exams (Edexcel Applied)
I am also currently training as a Positive Psychology Coach for young people helping students to improve their well being and resilience. I will be offering one to one coaching sessions very soon. Please do enquire if this is something you may be interested in.
Testimonials
Karla has an excellent approach with her students. She is very calm and explains the subject in a way that is easier to understand. We have a child that lacks confidence, and the way Karla tackles this has been so successful that within a very short space of time, we've seen a rise in mock exam results from a 4 to a 6.
Karla has only been tutoring with us for a short amount of time and there is still quite a bit of time before the final exams are taken. With the change in approach and grades we have seen in such a short space of time, we are thrilled we were able to find Karla to help us out. We would highly recommend Karla.

Karla has really transformed my children’s experience of A-level and GCSE maths and her input has been essential to their achievements in this and allied subjects.
Her approach is warm, encouraging and practical; helping them to gain a strong understanding in a topic before moving on through increasingly challenging practice questions and past papers.
She has been completely inspiring to them during the lockdowns, helping them to catch-up the areas missed, building their confidence and enabling my eldest son to achieve an 'A' in A-level maths.
Her lessons have been excellent both on-line and in person and she has been flexible and accommodating in her teaching approach, approaching SENs compassionately and with excellent understanding of individual learning styles.
She is always well prepared with resources for lessons and empowers her students to realistically strive to achieve the very best that they can. I can very wholeheartedly recommend her as an example of teaching at its very best.
