Christopher

I studied Mathematics University of Cambridge; graduated in June 2019. Available to tutor all year. Familiar with new A level specifications. Also have experience preparing candidates for Oxbridge Interviews, STEP, MAT. Can also provide personal statement advice.

I'm a polite, fun and easy person to get along with. I have 10+ years tutoring experience, something I really enjoy doing alongside my current roles. I read Mathematics Undergraduate degree at Queens' College, Cambridge. In my years there I continued teaching one-to-one lessons in the evenings, weekends, and weekdays. This is something I'm very passionate about doing, and I found it was a nice break to my university studies.

Tutoring Experience

Tutoring Approach

My in depth and extensive knowledge of the subject has been collectively organized and applied in a way that reveals many shortcuts to all standard syllabus questions on GCSE and A level examination boards. I produce hand outs, and in-depth solutions covering fine points and aiding retention. By assessing the students capabilities in the subject by a series of weekly assignments, I am able to pinpoint exactly where to direct our focus. I also encourage the student to think independently. Complex problems, when solved, can bring a sense of unique satisfaction unlike no other.

Many of my lessons take place online via Skype. Students find this to be a very positive experience, and learning from the comfort of their own home.
