Personal Description: Just retired, I spent 20 years in industry before qualifying as a teacher at the age of 40.
Tutoring Experience: 20 years successfully teaching GCSE and A-level Maths and Further Maths in school and Sixth Form College. Tutor with Further Maths Support Programme. A-level examiner.
Tutoring Approach: Whilst it may help for a tutor to be friendly (and I am!), it is vital that he/she knows the syllabus inside-out and can advise the student well. As an A-level examiner, I often see evidence that candidates have been poorly prepared even by qualified and experienced teachers. I offer mathematical knowledge, ability to explain this at a student's level and pace, and the detailed knowledge of exams and exam technique which is often the difference between success and failure.

From Zoe (5/5): (A-Level Maths) Geoff was always on time and prepared. He tutored both my sister and myself before our A2 exams and we were both more than pleased with our results. I would recommend Geoff to anyone.
From Joe (5/5): (A-Level Maths) Thanks Geoff I was very comfortable working with you and was pleased with the help in preparation for my A/S Maths.
From Jeanne (5/5): (GCSE Maths) Very knowledgeable and experienced tutor who has a warm approachable manner. I would have no hesitation in recommending Geoff to my family or friends etc.
