Robin

I am a passionate and highly qualified mathematics professional with many years of classroom teaching experience in prominent independent schools and extensive experience of individual tutoring.

I hold degrees in mathematics from both Oxford University and Stanford University.

I was awarded Double First-Class Honours from Balliol College, University of Oxford, for my undergraduate (MMath) degree in mathematics. At Balliol, I was also the recipient of the Markby Scholarship and Jenkyns Memorial Prizes for mathematics. I held the Balliol Organ Scholarship and a George Fentham University Scholarship from the George Fentham Trust.

My second mathematics degree (MS) is from Stanford University, California, where I held a graduate assistantship and was a course assistant to undergraduates during my period of study.

I also hold further degrees in Philosophy (MA, with Distinction) from King’s College London, where I was awarded a Sorabji Scholarship, and more recently in Psychology (MSc, with Distinction) from Manchester Metropolitan University. I am an accredited member of the British Psychological Society (MBPsS).

Tutoring Experience

I have ten years of classroom teaching experience at prominent UK independent secondary schools, teaching pupils of all ages and abilities, and extensive one-one tutoring experience, including online teaching.

I offer tutoring services for pupils studying towards Common Entrace, IB (MYP and DP, mathematics and TOK), GCSE, A level, for those preparing for University Entry in courses involving Mathematics, Engineering and Physics, including admissions tests such as the SAT, ACT, MAT and STEP papers, and for existing undergraduates.

Comments from previous clients:

'Robin was the best tutor I have ever had! He is fun, vibrant, has so many interesting stories to share and is a great mentor. My lessons were always fun and I never saw the time pass. I recommend him unreservedly and lucky is the student who will be taught by Robin.'

‘Our son was in despair about his Maths and was convinced he would never pass his GCSE. Robin was not only patient but, most importantly, very encouraging, so much so that our son completely turned a corner and ended up with an A*.’

'Robin is a highly professional maths tutor in all aspects. My son had lost his confidence with maths and has regained it since Robin has been teaching him. Robin’s teaching methods go straight into the brain, according to my son. He is the best we have come across.'

'Robin is a hugely able and passionate mathematician with a rare gift of getting alongside a young person. After working with Robin my daughter's confidence and attainment has massively improved. From low confidence and erratic results to consistently top of the set. In her words, "He teaches maths how it should be taught."'

'Robin is the most encouraging and enthusiastic maths tutor; he has helped me understand maths in a way that no one has done before. My confidence in maths grew and I really enjoyed studying maths again. I would recommend him to anyone who wants a positive and motivating tutor!'
