Tutoring Experience

Tutoring from age 7 to adults with proven results helping students make significant progress and improve their grades.

I have experience teaching GCSE Maths and GCSE Statistics at both higher and foundation tiers in a UK school and also have a good knowledge of the IGCSE curriculum, including IGCSE Further Maths. My tutoring experience is over a wide variety of qualifications and levels including KS1, 2, 3, GCSE and IGCSE, and A-Level Maths.

I have previously taught in UK secondary schools teaching Year 7 - 11 including multiple exam classes. I am currently teaching at an Alternative Provision with students with SEND and students who are unable to attend school for various reasons.

I am a current GCSE examiner.

Tutoring Approach

All of my tutoring sessions are 45 minutes long and term-time only. Online sessions take place in Pencil Spaces, a collaborative, interactive classroom. All face-to-face tutoring is from my purpose built home classroom in Calne.

Your first session will be a 30 minute 1:1 introductory meeting to discuss goals and for us to get to know each other, this meeting is free of charge and can be online or in person.

For 2025-6 I am running online GCSE groups at Foundation and Higher level. The groups include a live lesson each week. Group lessons are on Wednesday evenings for Higher and Thursday evenings for Foundation. Groups are paid for per month at £79 per month. Students can also access unlimited feedback and marking of practice papers for £25 per month.

Students can have a monthly 45 minute 1:1 catch up session (online or in person) to work on anything that they need extra support with, in addition to their group sessions. This is £144 per month and includes feedback and marking. This option is subject to timetable availability and slots disappear quite quickly!
