Information About Steven:

Personal Description:

I have a first from Cambridge in Sciences. That involved 2 years of maths, and also a summer school in Cambridge for extra maths. I won a scholarship while at Cambridge. I did physics and chemistry while at university.

I also have a certificate in German from the Goethe Institute, at a level slightly higher than A-level.

Teaching Experience:

I have been giving private tuition for nine years. This has involved meeting a lot of people at a lot of different levels. I often have parents say that their child can not understand maths. However, I have yet to meet such a child. Some have to work harder than others to catch up, but I have yet to meet the person who cannot learn maths. I also get a lot of adults who need maths to retrain for new jobs. I enjoy working with them.

I get good results. Among other successes , in the recent GCSE, a student got her A a year early, another got a C a year early, and in August last year, one of my students passed her AMFIT course enabling her to go on a teacher training course this year, instead of having to wait until September next year.

GCSE results in 2010 were extremely good. Students who were sure they would fail before tuition got a C or a B. Several got A's. Two got A*.


My final year A Level students got the grades they needed for university.

Tutoring Approach:

My approach is to be friendly, patient and understanding. I aim to teach the concepts behind maths, rather than rote learning. My lessons are also packed with work for the student.

I also am preparing short videos to cover maths modules. These videos will be comprehensive and detailed. They will include exercises, and fully worked out past papers. Watching these videos, at a cost of one pound per hour, will save students a lot of lessons. I have already created hundreds of short videos to cover C1, C2,C3 at AS Level and Higher GCSE Level. That is about ten pence per video for comprehensive tuition for my students.

Qualifications:

• Class 1 BA Cambridge - Sciences
• 3 A-Levels Maths Physics Chemistry Grade A
• Zentrale Mittelstuefenpruefung
