Do you need help with maths or statistics?
If you or your child are stressed about upcoming exams, number-crunching for a project or dissertation, or just struggling to keep up in class, then don't worry!

I am a well-qualified, experienced, patient and friendly tutor, able to support you at a range of levels: from GCSE and aptitude tests in numeracy or critical thinking, to A level Maths and Further Maths, to statistics and quantitative methods courses for degrees such as business, medicine, or social science.

I aim to be flexible, affordable, and unlike a class teacher or textbook, tailor what I teach to your individual needs - whether it's to build deeper understanding, or just enough to pass that exam!

Rather than let the course get further on top of you, or deadlines draw closer, why not contact me now to see how I can help?

Where I teach
 
I'm based in Benfleet, South Essex, but also tutor in East London, Chelmsford and West Essex and will travel further (e.g. Cambridge) for larger projects - contact me for more details.

I can offer online tuition and support. This saves me travelling and allows me to offer a lower rate!

Who I teach

I have taught in schools, sixth form, technical college and adult education, and enjoy working with students of all ages and abilities! See my testimonials for a variety of clients I've helped out.

What I teach

I have experience teaching a broad range of pre-university maths: primary school and KS3 (including 11+ and SATs preparation), GCSE (foundation and higher tier), all major A-level syllabuses (AQA, MEI, OCR and EdExcel, including Further Mathematics), adult numeracy, and the maths aspects of technical college courses in Computing, Construction, Engineering and Business. I may be able to help in related subjects such as GCSE and AS/A2 Physics - just ask.

 

I have tutored students at many universities, including Cambridge, Imperial, LSE, UCL, Kings College London, Barts Medical School, Cass Business School, Birkbeck, Nottingham, Keele and Essex as well as several international institutions including Grenoble École de Management, UC Denver, University of Syracuse (NY), and the University of Southern Queensland.

 

This included Quantitative Methods for courses such as BSc Economics, BSc Banking, MBA Finance and MPA Public Administration; Statistical Methods on courses such as BA Social and Political Science, BA Marketing, BSc Equine Science, and MSc Microbiology; as well as tutoring undergraduate mathematics.

 

I also have helped PGCE students with the QTS Numeracy Test and Primary Maths Audit.
