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.
I am available for individual tuition on:
GCSE, A-Level and degree-level Computer Science General purpose programming skills Game, web and app development
No previous programming experience is necessary. Tuition is available both locally (Newmarket and Cambridge area) and nationally (via Skype, Zoom or similar, using screen sharing).
For A-level and GCSE students, I produce a comprehensive spreadsheet to keep track of their progress - listing each part of the course syllabus, including my own notes on the topics and links to relevant resources. I also maintain a number of YouTube playlists of videos relevant to the courses.
I have been tutoring since 2015, during which time I have tutored over 200 students at all levels.
I have written articles on game development for Wireframe magazine - e.g. Coding Space Invaders’ disintegrating shields, and was a major contributor to Code the Classics, published by Raspberry Pi Press.

He is currently studying at Trinity Laban Conservatoire of Music and Dance as an undergraduate in composition.
His work has been called 'Chilling, thrilling and entrancing' by Stephen Fry, 'There's dissipation, despair, erotic shivering and fabulous tension in the air'. An adventurous harmonic language, intense lyricism and a colourful sense of timbre all characterise his music. Often writing for smaller ensembles, he is equally adapt composing for larger forces too.
The world of contemporary music is extraordinarily varied. For Morgan, embracing all aspects of this and taking hints of inspiration from a variety of sources, is key to creating a unique and personal sound-world.
