As an A-Level Maths and Further Maths expert, I know the ins-and-outs of the UK exam boards and am always ready for whatever topic my students need help with. Having led A-Level maths departments within the last 5 years, my knowledge is current and based around today's (high!) expectations of students, with my teaching focusing on deep, lasting understanding of challenging concepts.

Students, parents and establishments such as PMT have held my standard of tuition in high regard for more than a decade. My students would describe me as extremely passionate and fond of maths, with a real keenness to pass that enjoyment on. From my own academic journey I know that the best teachers are those who genuinely love what they teach, which is completely true for me.

I've been tutoring Maths & Further Maths since 6th Form, where I achieved 95% across the subjects. I've always found communicating maths to be extremely fun, going on to teach & lead in A-Level Maths Departments for 6 years. My BSc was in Mathematics at the University of Exeter. Then, my PGCE to teach 11-18 Year Olds Maths was at King's College London. I then taught for 6 years in Cambridgeshire and finally in Greater Manchester, including leading multiple A-Level departments.

Whilst teaching full-time I completed my part-time MSc in Advanced Cyber Security, achieving a Distinction (based at King's College London.) Now, I have left the classroom to pursue a PhD in Computer Science (Brain-Computer Interfaces) at the University of Manchester full-time. Alongside my PhD research I am involved in outreach events held at the University of Manchester for A-Level Students, including support for the TMUA and Levelling Up tuition for students in Greater Manchester.

Having taught and tutored students from a range of backgrounds, I have gained experience across all major exam boards. For Further Maths specifically, this can be confusing for parents and students (and even some schools!) But do get in touch as I will certainly have encountered it before, or know where to point you in the right direction. I also offer support for the TMUA and for the Further Maths GCSE.

My main goal through tuition is raising student confidence and encouraging questioning and critical thinking. Feedback from students, whether that's taught students, tutored students or students on a PMT course, has always focused on my positive nature and warm approach to collaborative mathematics.

In learning Maths & Further Maths at A-Level, there are two strands. Understanding comes first, ensuring all of the relevant misconceptions have been filtered out and students know how to approach those tricky, abstract question types. Secondly, comes Exam Preparation. This part is all about maximising marks. Learning the patterns of the exams, knowing which question parts are repetitive and most importantly - knowing how to dissect what the question really wants from you.

Both are integrated throughout my tutoring, enabling us to prioritise one over the other depending on how well the student has mastered the topic. I pride myself on the positive feedback I've accumulated over the years and thoroughly encourage you to try learning with me!

I can help with A-Level Maths, all A-Level Further Maths module combinations and Further Maths GCSE/Level-2. I can also help with preparation for the TMUA, which has recently become a part of more University offers for various subjects.

Get in touch and let me help share my passion for Maths with you!
