Current Student Feedback Testimonials:
"Neil exceeded all expectations with my son, in just a few months he helped him enormously to achieve a grade he was proud of" L Shaw
“Neil is a brilliant Maths Tutor, and his approach is completely different to what we have experienced before, he challenges both my children and lets them produce the answers as well as pushing them further to their full potential. I am incredibly pleased to endorse Neil and his teaching style” Reena
“I engaged Neil’s services after my daughter in year 11 had done some mocks. Maths was the areas she struggled with the most and didn’t feel confident. She’s in set 2 and doing the higher paper. She felt she was lagging her classmates. Her teachers have predicted her a level 5 but said she may just scrape the grade; Neil came as a recommendation, and it was the best thing we ever did. He is friendly, kind and patient. In just 8 weeks, her confidence has soared, she now understands things that she has previously struggled with. At the end of February, she did a second set of mocks. We have only had one paper back so far, but she’s scored significantly higher marks than before. I am confident Neil can help my daughter achieve a level 6 or higher. Would highly recommend!” Claire
“Neil currently tutors our 15 years old daughter in the build up to her GCSE Mathematics examinations next year. His ability to instil confidence and remove a level of anxiety has helped enormously. Bringing a sense of fun and calm to the subject whilst being prepared to change the plan for the lesson based on struggles that week, has also meant that issues have been addressed real time.
When a topic has been particularly difficult Neil knows when to change tact to remove the pressure and then come at things from a different angle.
Treating our daughter with care and respect whilst praising her for her achievements and breakthrough moments, has without doubt moved her nearer to the results she hopes to attain and for that we’re incredible grateful.
We will continue to work with Neil and would recommend him without hesitation “
Mrs N Jinks
“It isn’t easy finding a good tutor for any age. Neil has been great with my son, working at his pace and identifying the gaps to help him improve his grades at A level Maths, He relates well with my son and has a good working ethic.
Neil keeps me informed of my son’s progress. Considering the prices around Wilmslow, Neil is very reasonable and very good at what he does, which is reflective in my son’s academic performance.
As a parent who has had both kids tutored from primary age, I would highly recommend Neil “

I am writing to apply for a position as a tutor in your educational institution to guide its learners to cater their learning needs.
Not only have I just completed a Certificate in Education and Training (CET) level 4 but also gained and enhanced teaching methods and strategies to help learners reach all small achievable learning outcomes that stretch their knowledge and skills.
I have completed CET programme level 4 in Hopwood Hall College (in The UK) in June 2022. During my work placement in Rochdale campus, I taught Maths Functional skills to Pre-Entry and Entry 1 levels in ESOL department.
My planning, preparation and delivery are all learner centred, and I used blended resources and blended learning to engage learners in any activities, including the traditional face to face delivery. Furthermore, I create and conduct my teaching in a safe and secure learning environment, comfortable learning set up considering the Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI). Each learner's opinion, feedback, concern counts for my next planning, preparation and delivery.
Active learning, interactive activities and a group product/result engage learners in a classroom setting and always help them be focused and inclusive in learning all but current and sufficient homework facilitates learners to run their learning at own pace, and take control over the place, the time and the activities which are more productive for them. When a learning activity is taken by choice, any learner is much motivated and completely engaged.
Not only do I use blended resources during my sessions to meet learners’ needs but also run blended learning, including some applications such as Team, Zoom and other emerging technology to combine my teaching with the traditional method "face to face" to deliver my sessions and meet my learners' needs in attendance of my sessions. I take register as an administrative teaching step and also as a strategy to motivate learners to attend sessions. Furthermore, I use observation. learners' feedback, group product, group discussion and other methods to assess my learners, identify their needs and set up learning action plans. I record learners' progress and liaised with colleagues, support staff and relevant third parties to monitor learners' progress, for the interests of learners. Also, I motivate my learners by taking learning to real life scenarios and I guide them reach all the small achievable learning objectives in every activity. I guide each learner to gain skills, above all, with projection that these skills would be used in learners' future (give them skills for life).
After having returned home to Jerez de la Frontera (South Spain) in December 2014 from Ascot Berkshire, I set up my own learning centre "Study S Juan Grande" that I run between September 2015 and April 2020. There I taught Maths, Chemistry, Physics, and Biology to Bachillerato II (A2 level) and prepared leaners for the final state exam – the University entry exam “la selectividad”. I also taught some modern languages: English, French and Russian. I prepared learners for Cambridge (FCE and PET) exams and French DELF (B2 and B1) certificates which they sat successfully. Moreover I taught Russian to adult learners at Elementary level to help them cater their travel needs.
In relation to academic training, I hold a PhD degree in plant biology and have experience in research on plant biology in laboratory environments for more than 6 years. Furthermore, in a teaching field, I am a multi-skilled FE lecturer, and I have experience in and am able to teach Maths, biology, chemistry and Physics to 16+ learners in situ in the college, remotely using emerging technology such as Team, Zoom and other and run hybrid teaching (in situ and virtual). Also, I have experience in and am able to facilitate the learning of French, English and Russian to adult learners in a FE setting.
My UK DBS, including its update services expired on 10 March 2022, however, I do hope that through your organisation, I will be able to apply for one at low cost. Since I moved back to the UK in September 2020 after running my own educational centre at home in Jerez de la Frontera (South Spain) from Sept 2015 to April 2020, I hold the Spanish DBS (el certificado de antecedentes penales), which provides some lines of evidence that I am legally allowed to work with young people.
As I am a Spanish citizen living in the UK, I hold a UK pre-settlement status valid till 8 January 2026, which allows me to take employment in the United Kingdom.
Please find a copy of my CV on pages www.***
Should you require further details on my personality and professional profile, please do not hesitate to contact me.
I look forward to joining your teaching staff, liaising with support staff and relevant third parties during my teaching spell in your organisation for the interests of learners.

Check out my great reviews!
Is maths a mystery? Do you wish you understood ‘why’ as well as ‘how’? If you ask a question, does your teacher give the same explanation again and again? It doesn’t have to be that way. My methods really work; my students increase their mathematical abilities and confidence, and can explain what they’re doing. Some are so excited after my lessons that they can`t wait to tell their parents all about it! Do you wish your child was so inspired by their teacher that they voluntarily did extra maths in order to improve?
If your child has had a difficult time with maths at school, or perhaps you`ve tried other tutors and been disappointed, fear not, there is a better way. Follow other parents who have noticed their child leave my lessons with a grin, and a bounce in their step, follow other students who have messaged me after exams to tell me that there was so much they could do! This way works; maths doesn`t have to be a mystery.
I'm a qualified teacher with 12 years experience of teaching in schools and as a private tutor. I cover all secondary maths, including the IB and all A-level boards. You can find reviews on my Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61550861671606) and more reviews on this page https://www.tutorhunt.com/users/mrstreen/.
In the first lesson, I`ll ask lots of questions to get a picture of what my new student can and can`t yet do, and more importantly, what they understand. I`ll then use that to build a programme for the next few weeks, including any topics that they would like to work on. Often I point out weaknesses that my students haven`t noticed or haven`t realised are holding them back; once we fix these, progress is visible and can be quick.
My planning is completely flexible and is built around my student’s progress and needs, and I use a variety of resources so that we can explore topics in different ways. I am patient and used to explaining concepts in several different ways to find the way that works for each individual. I don’t teach tricks (unless you want me to), I focus on helping students to understand.
What online lessons require and involve
Having online lessons is often something students haven’t considered or perhaps feel daunted by. I’ve taught a number of students online, some exclusively so and some when convenient e.g. when they or I went on holiday. Online lessons also allow me to be more flexible over timings and to offer a lower rate since no travel is involved.
Has your child ever been so excited by their maths lessons that they asked to have one while away on holiday? My students have!
Online lessons require a computer, not necessarily a laptop, internet access and a quiet room.
I carry out lessons on Bitpaper, an online free whiteboard. If students sign up for an account, they can save that whiteboard and come back to it whenever they want. Thus they have ready-made notes after each lesson.
My students can opt to have cameras on or not; I am always happy to follow my students’ lead on this. I know some people prefer to work unseen whereas others like being able to look at my face as we discuss topics. What matters is that my students are comfortable.
I set homework on another website, also free to use, that marks work for me and the student and allows me to focus on giving feedback and correcting misconceptions.
Online tutoring greatly increases your choice of tutors. Why not contact me today and tell me what it is you would like to achieve?
I have won three awards for excellence and a superb tutor. In addition, I have successfully employed various teaching approach/ strategy when teaching and found that this led to many positive student outcomes, such as students getting A grades in A level Maths and Further Maths. I have experience in teaching KS2,11+, KS3, GCSE, IGCSE, IB and A Level maths online and face-to-face. I have worked as an examiner with various exam boards such as: Edexcel and AQA. I have worked as an examination officer and I entered students for WJEC, OCR, AQA, Edexcel and City and Guilds exams using SIMS.
I encourage learning by using different manipulatives, hands-on activities and technology. I utilise weekly tests to track students progress, locate areas of weakness and prepare students for final exams.
Being a versatile individual, I have had the opportunity to teach students who functioned below-, on- and above target grade. I have been very successful at accommodating diverse students needs by facilitating all styles of learners, offering individualised and integrating effective materials.
I have had awards and rewards for getting students to get excellent grades in GCSE and A level. See attached.
My approach is highly adaptable, tailored to accommodate the unique learning styles of each student. I believe in fostering understanding through clear, concise explanations, followed by structured problem-solving sessions to reinforce their understanding.

GCSE Maths - All Exam Boards, Edexcel, AQA, OCR WJEC (Foundation & Higher Tier 9-1)
A Level maths - Exam Boards (Edexcel, OCR, OCR MEI, AQA)
I always take a student-centered approach to teaching by asking students to bring their notes and talk me through the topics they feel are most difficult. My aim as your tutor would be to identify your strengths and weaknesses and build upon these appropriately. I would incorporate past paper questions very early in the curriculum to assess how well a child can apply their knowledge to answering exam questions. This will ensure that by the time the exams are sat the student will be fully prepared.
Rest assured you are in good hands.
Helping Students Build Confidence, Achieve Success & Unlock Their Potential
As a qualified UK teacher with 15 years of experience, I specialize in Primary, Secondary, and GCSE education across maths, English, and science. Holding a PGCE and QTS, I have taught in mainstream schools, special educational needs (SEN) provisions, and diverse learning environments, ensuring that students of all backgrounds and abilities receive the support they need to succeed.
I have extensive experience working with students with autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and other special educational needs (SEN), using tailored strategies to help them overcome learning barriers. Every child learns differently, and my individualized approach ensures that each student gains confidence, develops a deep understanding of key concepts, and excels academically.
Why Choose My Approach? ✅ Personalized, Student-Centered Learning
Many students struggle in traditional classroom settings because they don’t receive individual attention. I take a tailored approach, designing lesson plans that cater to each student’s unique learning style. Whether they need reinforcement in certain subjects or are preparing for major exams, my structured yet flexible lessons ensure maximum engagement and retention.
✅ Building Confidence & Independence
Success in academics isn’t just about getting the right answers—it’s about building confidence and problem-solving skills.

Preparing for GCSEs, A-Levels, and entrance exams can be stressful for both students and parents.

My name is Lydia J. ( also known as " The Maths Specialist"). I am a creative, outgoing and experienced tutor with a contagious passion for maths whose mission is to infect every student I meet with the love for maths.
I have been teaching maths since I was 17 and I am 44 years old now. It's been 27 years since I first started teaching maths. If you or your child struggles with maths and you want results then you have come to the right person.
The study of mathematics, like the Nile, begins in minuteness but ends in magnificence - Charles Caleb Cotton.
These days, anyone who hears me say, "I love maths" thinks I've always loved maths but that's far from the truth. I struggled with maths and even failed my GCE in maths ( an equivalent of GCSE).
So many teachers tried teaching me but I just could not grasp the concepts because they used the same methods I struggled with at school and never worked on finding out what the cracks were in my knowledge. A house built on a faulty foundation cannot stand the test of time.
One day I met the greatest teacher in the world, in my opinion, because not only was he able to teach me maths but he made me love maths. The quote above pretty much sums up how he taught me. He started from the basics, no assumptions made and he used all sorts of new methods to teach me. He showed me that there were so many ways to learn any topic.
I retook my GCE in maths and got the highest grade possible, won an award in maths, studied engineering, taught other students that were tagged "hopeless in maths" and got my daughter ready for her GCSE in maths at a very young age.
It doesn't matter how 'bad' any one is at maths, if they have a desire to learn and time, I can teach them. I am not just any other maths tutor. I am one that produces results.
Teaching is my third and final career and I love it. I have over 25 years experience of helping students of all ages and abilities achieve their goals. I am a qualified teacher with 14 years in classrooms, teaching English and law, and I'm also a qualified journalist and solicitor. I found school very challenging myself, so I completely understand why many very bright students don't do as well as they could at school. The truth is, school isn't always the best place to learn. The current situation means that by September, most of the current cohort of students in year 10 are not going to know what has hit them. GCSE has become increasingly difficult since 2008 and the 2015 reform means that it is exceedingly difficult to get above grade 6. I anticipate that this year's year 11 cohort hoping to study English at A level will be similarly shellshocked. The gap between GCSE and A level is enormous and even students with a predicted grade 8 or 9 are likely to find the A level daunting to say the least. I offer one to one support online using facetime, zoom and Google docs for students able to type.
I also offer small group preparation for both next year's GCSE and A levels in both language and literature to ensure that in September they hit the ground running. These sessions are done using zoom or at my home in Ealing. Tutoring Experience:- Since 1998 I have helped literally hundreds of students to:-
* achieve grade A/A*/9 in GCSE English both literature and language;
* get into a wide range of top London schools both private and selective grammar schools including St Paul's Girls, St Paul's Boys, Henrietta Barnett, Tiffin Girls, Eton, UCS, as well as Merchant Taylor, Godolphin and Latimer, Haileybury, Hampton, John Lyons, Notting Hill and Ealing, Kew House, St James', Kings College Wimbledon, Haberdashers Askes, St Helen's Northwood, Northwood College, Royal Masonic, Habs Girls, Harrow School, Northbridge House, St Augustines, Brighton College and Latymer Upper * win scholarships to Harrow School, UCS Northwood College and Notting Hill and Ealing High. I also help children aged 4 and above who are struggling with English, French or maths. In 2019 I had five GCSE students who attend state private schools, and three who attend private schools including St. Pauls Boys; six 11+ primary students and four home-schooled students aged 7, 12, 14 and 16.
I am pleased to say that out of the 8 GCSE students, 7 got grade 9 for both English language and English literature. The other student got 9 for literstliterature for language As for my 11+ students, in February this year all 6 of them got places at their first choice schools which were NHE, Latymer Upper, Kew House, Tiffin Girls, Henrietta Barnett and Northwood College. I also see several adults on a regular or ad hoc basis, for example Claudette who is 58. Initially I helped her with GCSE English in 2016. I then supported her during her Access course. She's now halfway through her degree in physiotherapy at Birkbeck.
Background information:- My first teaching experience was as a volunteer, teaching Adult Literacy from 1985-1987 while working as a freelance journalist.
When I completed my LPC in 1994 I started tutoring law while waiting for a training contract to manifest. Halfway through that training contract I realised that I preferred working as a tutor to working in law and left law.
From 1995-97 I taught at a local boys preparatory school - Durston House - while completing my vocational training part time as a solicitor. I began tutoring fulltime in 1998 when I realised that although working in the law is fascinating, it's not a lifestyle I want, and I have been tutoring ever since. From 1999 to 2012 I was teaching English fulltime in a sixth form college which specialised in English at all levels from Functional Skills and IELTS, to academic English i.e. GCSE, Access, and A Level language, literature and lang/lit. I continued to see a few private students, and in 2012 I returned to fulltime tutoring. Ad hoc help:- Apart from tutoring, I also help adult students with their theses and dissertations, teach them how to edit their work properly, how to ensure that they are not straying off topic, and how to improve their vocabulary and expression. I can do this online or face to face. Help with personal statements, applications for research grants and CVs is available face to face or via Google docs. Children- and adults- with disabilities:- In the last 22 years I have taught literally thousands of students and many of them have had disabilities including deaf students, visually impaired students and students with cerebral palsy, as well as students with learning difficulties including AS, APD, dyslexia, dyspraxia, dysgraphia and ADD/ADHD. I have studied the growing problem of both ESOL and native speaking English students who have difficulty in drawing inferences from what they read. My method of teaching uses a very carefully selected range of texts to focus on intensely in order to determine whether further investigation is appropriate. I am not qualified to diagnose autism but I have successfully taught many students on the spectrum. Tutoring Approach:- Alongside teaching, I have studied the psychology of learning and have many tools at my disposal to teach the skills that today's students and job seekers need. If you are struggling in school, college or university, it is not your fault. My job is to ensure that you do not need a tutor as quickly as possible while offering ongoing support if necessary. I believe that given the right atmosphere, attitude and support, anyone can succeed. A stressful environment makes learning almost impossible, so my lessons are extremely relaxing. Students are usually amazed at how fast the time passes. At the end of the session I ensure the student understands everything covered in that session, and may ask for the student to complete an appropriate length homework to bring to the next session. My motto is "self talk determines destiny" and I help students to unlearn the idea that they can't do something. My approach is first to ensure that I am the right tutor for the student. The first session is designed for the student (and their parents) to assess me, as well as for me to work out the student's current level of ability and their learning style. In subsequent sessions the most important thing is to ensure that the student has no gaps in their understanding of the subject and what is required. So I always begin at the beginning and usually students progress very quickly through the first phase. Once they are reasonably confident and have caught up with their school's expectations, I begin to stretch them, at their own pace. I believe that students want to do well but are self-conscious and dislike asking for help at school as it makes them feel stupid. Lack of basic understanding results in lack of self confidence which can easily develop into becoming withdrawn or disruptive in class, or hating the subject. It is quite easy to turn the student's attitude around once they realise that they can succeed, so I do a lot of confidence building exercises and use praise and humour to help them see what they are doing wrong and what they are doing right. As a result of this, their self esteem is enhanced and they become more willing to contribute in class and take risks, rather than sitting in the back of the classroom praying for the time to pass. I use my own resources which I have developed by studying assessment criteria and objectives of all of the boards (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, WJEC) as well as the specifics of GCSE and IGCSE. For 11+ and CE I use a wide range of texts that are demanding and lend themselves to students learning how to explore linguisruc effects. I prefer to tutor at the student's home because I think students feel more secure and relaxed in their own home, however students can of course, come to me if this suits them better. Parents are welcome to sit in on sessions as long as the student feels comfortable with that. I am always happy to consider teaching friends at the same time to keep costs down (max group size 4 students), and am happy to negotiate an appropriate rate for group sessions. Such sessions take place in my home. Please note the following:- 1. I charge a supplement of £7.50 to travel upto 3 miles as well as a residents parking ticket if necessary or reimbursement for parking costs;
2. I require a minimum of 48 hours notice of cancellation or payment in full (except for travel time) under all circumstances including sudden illness.Whenever possible I will offer a session later in the week but this is not always possible.
3. On Sundays I only teach from my home;
4. For distances beyond 3 miles radius of my home, the minimum session is an hour and a half. This can be shared between siblings, or between subjects eg maths and English, maths and French or English and French;
5. For distances beyond 5 miles radius of my home, I charge for one hour of my time, or an uber in both directions, whichever is cheaper, instead of £7.50. These sessions are also a minimum of an hour and a half, which can be shared between siblings or subjects;
6. All GCSE and A level students are welcome to send me essays of upto 1000 words to comment on between sessions. There is no charge.for this service. Finally, if you would like references from current or previous students (or their parents) please just ask.

Rob got his A+ thank you. He absolutely loved his stint at the Sunday Times over the summer holidays. Thank you so much for organising that, it's given him a new lease on life and really helped to motivate him for starting his AS course.

• Emma, mother of Peter (2012) and Alex(2014) and Michael (2016):
Peter and Alexandra do not think they would have got the grades they did without your help and guidance. Alex commented that you really helped her with how to answer the questions to time more effectively and how to interpret the poetry in particular. Peter really benefited from you teaching him how to look at things in a different way, You gave him the confidence to write which he didn't have before.
Thank you so much for your help at the last minute. Michael got A for Literature and A for language.
•Shivam C, December 2013 successful applicant to Princeton:
Laura helped me with all the essays over whole weekends perfecting the essays. We were working in a very short time-frame. She was always very patient. Her calm demeanour and attention-to-detail was a huge aid for me to get into Dartmouth College (best undergraduate teaching in America). I would recommend anyone to get Laura to help them with any essays they have. She would be equally splendid as a teacher in English writing skills or grammar, and I am very glad that I had the opportunity to work with her.

1-1 teaching in Piano, Violin, Saxophone and Trumpet in Cardiff as well as maths tutoring. I would be happy to teach multiple instruments to the same person at a reduced price for the second. I am experienced in my instruments and so far have taught trumpet and maths so I have experience in teaching children. I have grade 8 qualifications in all 4 instruments and study piano at Cardiff University School of Music. I have an A* mathematics A-level and completed two years of mathematics at Cardiff University before I decided to pursue music further instead. Price shown is per hour but lessons are avaiable from 30 minutes to 90 minutes.
My name is Leon and I provide the help you need to make maths and computer science easier to understand and fun to learn.
Using my experience in teaching and commercial application of these subjects, I am able to provide a thorough perspective that extends beyond the limitations of traditional classroom lessons. By presenting context for how maths and computer science concepts are used in the real world, I am able to make these subjects easier to understand with a complete explanation for how they are used to solve problems that everyone can relate to.
Self belief is the biggest obstacle preventing people from achieving their full potential. By using my learning techniques and support, I can help you to overcome difficulties created by learning anxiety, dyslexia and dyscalculia that lead to your potential being underestimated. By deconstructing the unnecessary jargon and written notation behind maths and computing, I help students to exceed expectations and achieve the highest grades in as little as 12 weeks.
Tutoring Experience
I have taught maths and computing as a professional tutor and commercial trainer for over 10 years. My lessons can also be tailored to cover exam preparation for all major exam boards, including AQA, CEA, Edexcel, OCR and WJEC.
The following are the subject levels that I have experience of teaching:
Maths: - Key Stage 3 - GCSE - Functional Skills
Computer Science: - Key Stage 3 - GCSE - A-Level - Degree - Master's degree.
Tutoring Approach
Whatever your reasons for considering tuition, my lessons can be custom designed to extend your potential to achieve the highest grade possible. I provide the support you need to benefit from online learning and extend the outcomes achievable with your time and budget. Whether you’re already a high performer or you find maths / computing a challenge to understand, my support allows you to learn at a pace that suits your individual requirements.
By avoiding the use of technical jargon and complicated notation, my lessons present concepts in a format that's easy to understand and practise. Each lesson is designed for you to achieve the following learning objectives:
* Understand a specific concept. * Perform the concept. * Write the concept as maths notation or programming code. * Develop exam technique.
Using custom digital learning tools, you will be exposed to a hands on approach to learning the concepts behind maths and computing. My lessons begin with a visual presentation explaining the focus topic, followed by interactive exercises that help you to experiment, express and reinforce your understanding. With my support and collaboration, each exercise challenges you to describe and refine your thinking process to solve a puzzle using the skills taught in the presentation.
Once you are confident in your ability, the lesson progresses to applying your understanding of the concepts to creating and understanding written notation and code. This stage of the lesson prepares you with the ability to work with exam questions and other assessments that you are preparing for.
The most important component of effective learning is your ability to practise between lessons. To help you gain the most benefit from my help, I provide online learning exercises that allow you to benefit from my guidance and feedback throughout the week as you study.
