Neil

I have a real passion for Mathematics and have a Doctorate in Mathematics as well as a First-Class Honours Degree. I teach from Year 6 to Year 13 and both Maths and Further Maths.
I enjoy teaching maths related to how it is used in real life situations.
Two areas I particularly enjoy are Quantum Physics and The Universe.
I am a confident public speaker and really enjoy travel and meeting people.
Spent 30 years living and working in London in Finance.

Tutoring Experience

Have taught at university during my postgraduate research.
Also have privately tutored GCSE and A-Level Mathematics

Testimonials from current students:

"Neil exceeded all expectations with my son, in just a few months he helped him enormously to achieve a grade he was proud of" L Shaw

“Neil is a brilliant Maths Tutor, and his approach is completely different to what we have experienced before, he challenges both my children and lets them produce the answers as well as pushing them further to their full potential. I am incredibly pleased to endorse Neil and his teaching style” Reena

“I engaged Neil’s services after my daughter in year 11 had done some mocks. Maths was the areas she struggled with the most and didn’t feel confident. She’s in set 2 and doing the higher paper. She felt she was lagging her classmates. Her teachers have predicted her a level 5 but said she may just scrape the grade; Neil came as a recommendation, and it was the best thing we ever did. He is friendly, kind and patient. In just 8 weeks, her confidence has soared, she now understands things that she has previously struggled with. At the end of February, she did a second set of mocks. We have only had one paper back so far, but she’s scored significantly higher marks than before. I am confident Neil can help my daughter achieve a level 6 or higher. Would highly recommend!” Claire

"Neil currently tutors our 15 year od daughter in the build up to her GCSE Mathematics examinations next year.
His ability to instil confidence and remove a level of anxiety has helped enormously. Bringing a sense of fun and calm to the subject whilst being prepared to change the plan for the lesson based on struggles that week, has also meant that issues have been addressed real time.
When a topic has been particularly difficult Neil knows when to change tact to remove the pressure and then come at things from a different angle .
Treating our daughter with care and respect whilst praising her for her achievements and breakthrough moments, has without doubt moved her nearer to the results she hopes to attain and for that we’re incredible grateful.
We will continue to work with Neil and would recommend him without hesitation “
Mrs N Jinks

“It isn’t easy finding a good tutor for any age. Neil has been great with my son, working at his pace and identifying the gaps to help him improve his grades at A level Maths, He relates well with my son and has a good working ethic.
Neil keeps me informed of my son’s progress. Considering the prices around Wilmslow, Neil is very reasonable and very good at what he does, which is reflective in my son’s academic performance.
As a parent who has had both kids tutored from primary age, I would highly recommend Neil “

Tutoring Approach

Very pragmatic. I like to explain the relevance of Mathematics and to when students could apply what they are learning. Also, to explain what career paths it could lead to.
