Personal Description:
A Royal Academy of Music graduate, I have taught piano privately for over 20 years. As well as children and adults from the ages of 4 to 84, I have tutored and mentored high profile rock musicians, film composers and producers.

Teaching Experience:

I have taught science in a secondary school as a science teacher. At present I tutor primary and secondary school students, with focus on GCSE exam preparations. I have 10 years of experience of tutoring within the UK.

Tutoring Approach:
Good communication and interaction is the key to understanding and learning. I make sure that my students understand the topic before proceeding to the next one. I provide the students with the right materials for studying which includes exam style questions.

For students preparing for their GCSEs, we work hard on learning how to answer exam questions. Techniques and skills on how to ace the questions are taught which are key to getting more marks in their GCSEs.

I am willing to travel to you but travel costs would need to be covered (£5 per trip)

Personal Description:
I'm an enthusiastic driven person. I take pride in my work and I'd like to do it well. In my spare time I like to be active and go sailing, diving or wake boarding.

Teaching Experience:
I taught for 7 months in a Belgian secondary school. I taught 11-14 year old children Latin there. I've also taught Life Science and Art History to 14-16 year olds. My appointment was temporary and so I went on doing something else. From time to time I have been asked to do some tutoring. I hope this way I can help educate the new generation that is willing to learn.

Tutoring Approach:
I believe anyone can learn anything though depending on our skills some people just have to put in extra effort to get the same results. I therefore try to help in easing and structuring this extra effort. Finding the bottle necks in the way of studying, offering a new vision on subjects, providing a different background and helping to make personal schedules to keep up with work is my way of tutoring. As far as Latin goes next to this it just takes practice.

Personal Description:
Build understanding, transform grades! Qualified Teacher & 1st Class Maths Specialist | Former Head of Maths providing Expert Maths education at KS3, GCSE and A-level (15+ yrs experience).

If you're looking for tuition that is focused, effective, and grounded in years of successful classroom leadership and results, I would be delighted to help. Many families' reviews reflect the positive impact of this approach, with all 5 star reviews across multiple platforms.

A recent review:

"Chris has tutored both of my children at GCSE and A level and I cannot recommend him highly enough. After moving from Canada we discovered there were significant gaps in their understanding of math due to the different curriculum and methodologies. Under Chris' tutelage both of my children have gained in confidence and were able to achieve amazing results. My youngest son's success at GCSE was such that the head of his Math's department said he had never had another student make such progress (he went from a grade 6/7 to a 9 in Maths and a 4/5 to an 8 in Further Maths). Chris has continued to teach him during A levels and he just achieved an A in his mock exam."

Teaching Experience:
Throughout my career, I've supported students across the full ability range, from building confidence at KS3 to helping students secure Grade 4 or Grade 9 at GCSE, and enabling high achievers to earn an A* in A-level Further Maths. I've taught and led Maths, Further Maths, and Statistics across KS3, GCSE, and A-level, giving me both deep subject expertise and a clear understanding of how to teach complex ideas effectively to every learner.
My experience as Head of Maths reflects more than subject mastery; it demonstrates a secure understanding of the curriculum and exam requirements across a range of courses. I know how to make learning efficient, targeted, and purposeful. I tailor each lesson to the student's starting point and use a broad range of high-quality resources to ensure the time is productive.

Over the years, I've taken on a range of Teaching and Learning responsibilities, including roles such as Head of Maths, Head of House, and Intervention Lead. These experiences have given me a strong, whole-school perspective on how students learn across different classes and year groups, as well as deep insight into how individuals and small groups develop mathematically.

Tutoring Approach:
I believe that true mathematical understanding comes from mastering each topic in depth and revisiting key skills regularly. My approach ensures that students explore every concept thoroughly, working through a wide range of variations so their knowledge becomes secure and adaptable.

With most schools adopting a 'mastery' approach in Mathematics, this method is especially valuable at A-level, where the complexity and demands of exam questions have increased significantly - but it is still valuable at other levels.
In the lead-up to exams, I find that working through past papers is particularly effective. This not only strengthens familiarity with exam-style questions but also reinforces core material and highlights any areas needing further attention. Past-paper practice is essential for helping students perform confidently at the required standard.

If you're looking for focused, supportive Maths tuition that builds real confidence and mastery, I'd be delighted to help. Feel free to get in touch with any questions or to arrange your first session - and if you're not happy with the first lesson, it's completely free from me. I want to ensure you get valuable learning from the time spent.
