Oliver

After studying maths at university, I qualified as a maths teacher and I’ve been teaching in schools/privately tutoring continuously for over 10 years now. As a private maths tutor, I always aim to offer a far more professional, dependable and thorough service than is usually otherwise available.

I’d be very keen to have an initial meeting with you (completely free of charge and no obligation whatsoever), either in person or online – whichever you prefer. You can then tell me what you’re looking for in terms of tuition. I’ll then explain exactly how I can help and I’ll happily answer any questions you might have. I’ll also provide you with proof of my qualifications, an enhanced up-to-date DBS criminal record check and references from previous clients.

Below is a summary of my qualifications/career up to now. Please feel free to contact me anytime and I’ll get straight back to you without delay...

• As a student, I sat Maths GCSE a year early and achieved an A*. I then went on to study Additional Maths GCSE, Maths A Level and Further Maths A Level before studying Maths at university.

• I won the top award (gold award) from the UK Mathematics Trust in both the Intermediate and Senior UK Maths Challenges, both of which I sat a year early.

• I was awarded a place in the Gifted and Talented Academy (University of Warwick) based on my mathematical ability.

• I completed the Graduate Teacher Programme for which I achieved the highest grade of 'outstanding' for my final overall grading. I’ve since worked in two secondary schools, both of which rated as ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted.

• I was appointed as a Key Stage 2 Transition Coordinator - a role in which I set up and helped deliver a maths booster programme that raised attainment significantly across 6 primary schools.

Tutoring Experience

I've delivered over 3000 hours of private tuition to date which has included helping students successfully obtain places at Russell Group universities including both Oxford and Cambridge. I've also tutored graduates and successfully helped them score highly in the GRE and GMAT exams as part of their MBA/PhD application process to Ivy League universities including Harvard.

With respect to the 11 Plus and entrance exams, I’ve helped students successfully obtain places at high-ranking selective secondary schools (Graveney / Tiffin / Wallington / Wilson's / Sutton Grammar / Alleyn’s / Dulwich College / JAGS / St Dunstan’s / Emanuel / King’s / Whitgift / Trinity / City of London / Streatham & Clapham / Sydenham / Putney / Latymer Grammar / Woodford County / Bancroft’s / Forest / Chigwell). Some of the students I’ve tutored successfully obtained academic scholarships and bursaries because of the exceptional mathematical ability that they were able to demonstrate in both the exam and the interview. The parents of these students have said they're more than happy to provide you with a reference directly.

Tutoring Approach

I'm a very positive, encouraging and patient tutor. I always aim to build confidence to as great an extent as possible. I really enjoy teaching maths and I take a lot of pride in the strong results my tutees achieve. I’ll gladly take direction from you if there’s a specific approach you’d prefer me to take or something particular you’d like me to focus on. I always mark any work my tutees do and I always give detailed feedback on how to score full marks on exam style questions. Also, I’m more than happy for you to contact me between lessons if you have any issues whilst doing homework. I’m available 7 days a week.
