Do I have a DBS certificate?

Yes. I can provide it on request.

​

What levels of Maths can I help with?

I specialise in GCSE Maths, but I can also help with Functional Skills Maths, Level 2 Further Maths and IGCSE Maths.

​

Is online tutoring as effective as face-to-face tutoring?

No. I only recommended online Maths tutoring if there are no suitable local tutors who can do face-to-face tuition.

​

Can I guarantee a higher grade?

Although it is more effective than studying alone, tutoring cannot guarantee a higher grade. However, it does increase the chances.

​

Are notes available from lessons?

Most notes from every lesson are saved and can be provided in PDF format.

​

When should a student start tuition?

Ongoing tuition starting as soon as possible is the only way of getting the best possible results. Some tutors get fully booked later in the academic year so to secure your chosen tutor it may be best to start as soon in the academic year as possible.

​​

How often should tuition take place?

Typically, students go for weekly tuition. I cannot usually offer any less than this. More than weekly will obviously mean more content covered, will boost the rate of progress, and will increase the chances of getting a better grade.

​

Can tuition be offered for groups?

In my experience, one-to-one is the most effective method of tutoring. However I can also provide tutoring for groups of up to three students (when I travel to you only) at no additional cost. This may therefore be a more cost effective method.​

 

Why do we even need to study Maths?

"Mathematics is a creative and highly inter-connected discipline that has been developed over centuries, providing the solution to some of history’s most intriguing problems. It is essential to everyday life, critical to science, technology and engineering, and necessary for financial literacy and most forms of employment. A high-quality mathematics education therefore provides a foundation for understanding the world, the ability to reason mathematically, an appreciation of the beauty and power of mathematics, and a sense of enjoyment and curiosity about the subject." - The National Curriculum.
