If you’re looking for a calm, patient, and experienced private maths tutor, you’re in the right place. I provide tailored maths tuition for students of all abilities—whether you need support with Higher, Advanced Higher, A-level, or university first year maths.
Student-centred, personalised tuition
I tailor each session to meet your needs. Whether you’re struggling with a topic, revising for exams, or aiming for top grades, I focus on building your understanding in a way that works for you.
With one-to-one tuition, I can respond to your questions immediately and offer feedback that video tutorials or apps simply can’t provide.
“You won’t learn maths by listening to me—or any other tutor—but you may learn maths if I listen to you.”
My approach to teaching maths
- Review of basic maths to strengthen foundations
- Practice of key methods and processes for fluency
- Exam preparation strategies, including A/B question practice
- Breaking down complex maths into simpler, understandable steps
- Problem-solving techniques to build confidence
- Encouraging independent thinking and a questioning mindset
- Study and exam technique coaching for better results
My aim is to help you develop as a confident, capable learner who can think clearly and reason well—essential skills not just for exams, but for life.
The right mindset for maths success
Most students are capable of doing well in maths—with the right support, mindset, and encouragement. As Jo Boaler writes in Mathematical Mindsets:
“For the vast majority of children—about 95%—any level of school maths is within their reach.”
Further to the point:
“I was an ordinary person who studied hard. There’s no miracle people.” – Richard Feynman (Nobel Laureate in Physics 1965)
My role is to support you in building confidence, resilience, and clarity—so you can aim high and reach your full potential.
“The one really competitive skill is the skill of being able to learn.” – Seymour Papert
Why work with a human tutor?
Online resources, such as Youtube videos, and AI tools can be helpful—but nothing replaces the value of a real conversation with a real teacher. A private maths tutor listens, responds to your specific needs, and explains things in a way that makes sense to you.
