I am a fully qualified secondary mathematics teacher and a friendly, compassionate tutor with a passion for science and mathematics. I enjoy helping students increase their confidence in the subject, using a variety of teaching strategies.

I have tutored for a number of years (in mathematics) and am currently teaching in a secondary school.

Tutoring Experience
I have a wealth of school experience and am equipped with a variety of engaging, teaching strategies, to bring mathematics to real life. I focus on depth of understanding and developing students problem solving skills, this not only makes the maths fun but means students can apply their knowledge to any exam question!

Qualifications Degree: Medical Science (Hons)
Obtaining a science degree has allowed me to see the direct application of mathematics to other fields. Seeing the wide applications of the subject first hand, is why I am so passionate about the subject.

Tutoring Approach
Maths is everywhere, I like to prove this to students by giving them questions in a real life context. I also teach students to be resilient and work through questions logically, developing their problem solving skills. This is a new skill being brought into the revised national curriculum. Therefore will set students up for success in their exams.

I also focus on developing exam technique, helping students to gain all the marks they deserve.

Private Tuition for children aged 4-12. Supporting students globally to improve their confidence and attainment.

I am a highly qualified and vastly experienced Primary School and EFL teacher offering private tuition to students in the UK and internationally.

I am able to support children’s learning journeys, boosting their confidence and their attainment through fun, interactive lessons that support, challenge and inspire.

With over 20 years of experience, I have taught in the state sector and in Independent Prep Schools in the UK as well as international settings in Europe and Asia. I have worked with students across the globe from the age of 4 through to adults, most recently as Head of Juniors at a leading London Independent School.

I have a proven track record of excellent results including supporting children in gaining 7+ and 11+ places at some of the UK’s top Independent and Grammar Schools. I thrive on nurturing children with low levels of confidence and self esteem to ensure that they are able to close gaps in their learning and feel more confident and able to participate in the school environment. I also tutor Home Education students in both academic and creative subject areas.

I graduated from Warwick University with a degree in Ancient History and Archaeology followed by a Primary PGCE from the University of Roehampton. I have also gained an MA in Education through the University of Bath.

I offer online lessons, using a variety of platforms such as Zoom and Skye depending on the location of my students.

Dedicated Maths tutor

Hello. My name is Sam.

I believe that with the correct style and sufficient amount of effort basically anybody can understand the subject which I have had (and still have) such a desire to learn, maths.

During my third year at the University of Warwick were I achieved my BSc, I helped a small group of first year students with their assignments. I enjoyed this a lot as it gives me satisfaction knowing I have helped others.

I have also worked as a maths academic mentor for a school in Reading providing intervention lessons at GCSE level as well as one to ones for A-level students.

I am also currently studying and training to obtain QTS and PGCE at the University of Roehampton

When it comes to how I teach I think that the following are important to me...

(1) Encourage learning by doing.

That is rather then bombarding students with information, go through a topic and ask the student a series of short questions to ensure that they understand all the details and that they feel involved rather than being passive. As well as an emphasis on going through example/past paper questions.

(2) Explaining concepts in a more casual/friendly way.

This means relating how a concept could be applied to the real-world, rather than just regurgitating what is given in textbooks/school. As well as coming up with quirky ways of memorizing information.


I am confident in teaching GCSE ,A-level maths and A-level further maths. I specialise in the pure and statistics options when it comes to A-level maths and further maths.
