Hi – I’ve been involved in maths and English for quite some time, initially qualifying as an Engineering Officer in the Merchant Navy. It was a great experience and I was lucky to get the opportunity to see different cultures around the world – from New Zealand to the Middle East.

However, during the past few years, I have enjoyed running after school study centres.

Although I’m always interested in “practical maths” and have developed a number of projects to encourage students including 3minutemaths, and my YouTube channel (over 80,000 subscribers!). The latest project has been to create online courses and I’m delighted that over 300 students have enrolled with some great reviews.

Tutoring Experience:

Fully qualified maths and English tutor with considerable experience in supporting a wide range of students:

– Year 6 achieving level 6

– Year 7/8 intervention

– Year 9 KS3 check

– Year 11 borderline C/D including Foundation, Higher and iGCSE papers to A*

– Familiarity with Edexcel, AQA, OCR and Educas exam boards

I enjoy working with students of all ages / abilities and have recently been engaged by a local primary school to work with Year 6 pupils. One of the students I worked closely with has now been offered a 95% bursary to attend The Grammar School at Leeds. There has been good opportunities to work with a wide range of students including career change adults, school refusers, special needs, medical and people who’d just like to find out more.
