I've been tutoring maths for over 10 years now, and I still get such a buzz from it. I've helped students get into the top universities in the country (and world even) and have helped with KS3, GCSE, A-levels, Entrance exams, and University maths, as well as maths for other subjects such as Economics, Engineering, Nursing and I'm sure many more that I can't think of at the moment (10 years is a long time). I am mostly familiar with the exam boards Edexcel, OCR and AQA.

I love maths, I love the preciseness of it, I love its applications in the real-world, and I love watching a student's confidence and passion in the subject grow with every lesson. I don't only aim to teach maths in preparation for the exam, but I aim to inspire young minds and show them that maths can be fun.

I have a PhD in maths, so I have the ability to answer questions outside the scope of the curriculum, and explain what to expect from each topic as the student progresses through the years. I also have a FHEA teaching qualification.

My fees are reflective of my experience and knowledge in the subject - over the years I've perfected my teaching and have learnt the most effective pedagogic methods to help a student understand and become confident in maths. I know the best ways to prepare a student for an exam, and how to ensure they reach their potential.

Although I mainly do online lessons now in order to help as many students as I can each week, sometimes I may have time for in-person lessons where I do the travelling, therefore saving you the effort and lowering my cholesterol at the same time.

Tutoring Experience

Lecturer and Course Director: Brunel University 2018 - present.
I am the course director of the Foundation year maths course at Brunel. I am also the module leader on two courses: Study Skills and Discrete and Decision Maths. Over the years I have also taught the modules LaTeX, Further Engineering Mathematics, Analytical Methods and Skills for Engineers, Calculus, Linear Algebra and Fundamentals of Mathematics.

Tutoring Approach

I seek to discover the mathematical potential of those I teach and I provide continuous feedback on their progression and encourage and promote their independent learning.

Once you pay the website a small fee to purchase my contact details please get in touch straight away so that we can arrange an introductory lesson. The first 15 minutes of the first lesson is free as it is simply an opportunity for me to introduce myself and learn the student's strengths and weaknesses in order to design a lesson plan.

What you can expect:
> High quality, professional teaching.
> Progress discussions.
> Exam advice and individualised revision plan.
> Out of hours support.
> Resources for practice.
> DBS documentation upon request.

If you have any questions, even if it's simply how this all works then please do not hesitate to contact me.
