Paul

Online Maths and English Teacher

I am a highly experienced and versatile tutor specializing in science, mathematics, and English, with over 20 years of proven success helping students excel at all educational levels, including GCSE, A-level, T-level, BTEC, and degree programs. With a teaching qualification, two degrees in science, and extensive professional experience as a senior analyst, I bring both academic and real-world knowledge to my tutoring approach.

Throughout my career, I have worked in various educational settings—including schools and colleges—and have successfully supported students from diverse backgrounds and age groups. My track record of helping students boost their confidence, overcome challenges, and achieve academic success speaks for itself. Whether it’s one-to-one or group sessions, I am passionate about helping every student unlock their potential.

In addition to academic tutoring, I bring a wealth of expertise in exam preparation and stress management. As a wellbeing expert and business owner, I use proven techniques to help students manage exam anxiety—a leading cause of underperformance. These unique tools ensure that students not only know their subject but are mentally prepared to excel under pressure.

My professional experience includes working with renowned organizations such as GSK, the CQC, and the Department of Health. I also hold a NEBOSH certification in Health and Safety, further showcasing my dedication to creating supportive and structured learning environments.

Whether your child is preparing for GCSEs, needs support with Key Stages 1-3, or is tackling A-level or T-level coursework, I am committed to providing the personalized, effective guidance they need to succeed.

Tutoring Experience

I began my educational career as a tutor and mentor at Stoke Newington School while studying for my first degree at Queen Mary University. Over the past 20 years, I have gained extensive teaching and tutoring experience across a variety of educational settings. I taught for several years at Farnborough College of Technology, worked at private schools and tuition centers, and provided one-to-one tutoring for students from diverse backgrounds—including non-native English speakers.

I have also served as a supply teacher, which has enhanced my adaptability and ability to tailor my teaching to students with different learning styles and needs. This breadth of experience allows me to effectively support students across all levels, from Key Stages 1-3 to GCSE, A-level, T-level, and beyond.

My teaching style is built on empathy, patience, and clear communication. I focus on building confidence, overcoming learning challenges, and helping students realize their potential. I invite you to try a free lesson to see first hand how I can support your child’s educational journey—you have nothing to lose, and everything to gain.

Tutoring Approach

I understand that every student is unique, with their own individual needs, strengths, and challenges. My success as a tutor stems from my ability to quickly assess these attributes and adapt my teaching methods accordingly. With strong people skills and a deep understanding of student behavior, I can rapidly identify the most effective strategies for learning and personal growth.

As a qualified counselor and life coach, I bring an empathetic, supportive approach to my teaching. I don’t just focus on academic progress—I also work to boost self-esteem, motivation, and resilience. I believe that empowering students with the right mindset is just as important as teaching subject matter, and I incorporate techniques to help them build confidence and stay motivated.

This holistic approach ensures my students not only achieve their academic goals but also develop the tools they need for lifelong success.
