George M.

I studied Mathematics at Cambridge University at both undergraduate and Masters level and in March 2023 I finished a PhD in London focusing on the mathematical aspects of gravity.

I started tutoring 11 years ago and, with the exception of 2025 (when I was away), I have tutored every week for the previous 8 academic years with a total of 15 GCSE students, one FSMQ student, 37 A level students, 33 further maths students and 27 students I helped with their university applications and Cambridge/Oxford interviews for maths and computer science. The students had a wide range of abilities and I was able to accommodate to their various needs. I have been very lucky in that, despite not all of them enjoying mathematics, they have all been very eager to learn which has made them all a delight to teach.

I teach all A level mathematics exam boards. For Further Maths, there are many module choices.

Edexcel: I regularly teach Core Pure 1 & 2, Mechanics 1 & 2, Statistics 1, Further Pure 1 & 2. I am happy to teach Statistics 2 and Decisions 2, but will need warning which topics we are covering in the lesson.

OCR A: I regularly teach Pure Core, Mechanics and Discrete. I have not yet taught Statistics or Additional Pure, but I am comfortable with the contents of each.

OCR MEI/B: I regularly teach Core Pure, Extra pure, Mechanics Major/Minor and Statistics Minor. I am confortable teaching Statistics Major, but appreciate warning for the topics on regression and hypothesis testing. I have not yet taught the remaining modules.

I tutor Monday-Thursday evenings primarily, but I am happy to offer day time slots if you have availability during the day time.

A lot of people have the qualifications to teach mathematics, but the most important part of maths tuition is gauging how much the student is understanding and calibrating your examples such that they are pushed to a high standard without being overwhelmed. As well as this, it is important to be able to invent new ways of looking at things on the spot that you feel are best appropriate for how this particular student learns. I have developed these skills over my years of tutoring and have had a great deal of success with my students.

I aim to maintain a relaxed atmosphere in lessons in order to ensure the student feels comfortable enough to ask questions and most importantly say when they are not understanding something.
