Information about Gerard
Qualified teacher and A-Level Examiner who loves Maths and Further Maths. Has achieved top grades and can help you do the same. (Also top grades in Sciences and a 1st from Imperial College in Computing.) Maths PGCE is Master`s Level. Continues to take current Exams as the Syllabi change.
I now specialise in A-Level Maths and Further Maths, where I am an Examiner, and tutees appreciate my ability to communicate my understanding. However, I am also happy to help with Maths at GCSE and all ages. As a Mensan, I also offer general 11+/13+ tuition, where parents appreciate my complementary literacy and reasoning skills. I helped my own son enter Mensa and gain entrance to Westminster School.
I have always loved the challenge of tests and joined Mensa and the ISPE accordingly. As such, I see exams and tests as enjoyable challenges rather than sources of stress. I would hope to help you see your tests in the same light.
I also love chess - with my help, my son has won School Chess Prizes.
I also love poetry.
I currently charge £25 per hour for online lessons. After you have purchased my contact details, I give the first hour half-price.
I thank you for your interest, and
hope to hear from you.
Availability: I currently have availability.
Willing to travel: 10 miles
Experience: I have been tutoring students of Edexcel, OCR, OCR MEI and AQA since 2014, as well as students of IB Maths. I have tutored students from schools including Westminster School, Eltham College, Colfe`s, St. Dunstan`s, Dulwich College and the Kent Grammar Schools. I have tutored younger students from schools including City of London and Bromley High, and have helped younger children excel at entrance exams to Westminster School, City of London, Trinity College and Victoria College (Jersey). I have also tutored my own son, now at Westminster School, from an early age.
I am happy working closely to the specification of the examiners, using material they have approved. At the start of the year I would generally support my tutees in their schoolwork, rather than giving them an alternative scheme of work. As exams approach I would generally help prepare my tutees by working through past questions with them. My tutees are the bosses, however, and they tell me what they want to cover each session.
For 11+/13+, I provide book-based teaching rather than assessment. I select books in agreement with parents, and then impart my knowledge and understanding to children as I review their homework. However, I do not agree with the modern emphasis on continual assessment. I do not believe that an object gets heavier the more times you weigh it.

Very pleasant and kind tutor, gave my son an introductory assessment and made some very encouraging and positive remarks. Feedback by Mr Gerard (from the assessment) was constructive and meaningful. Also recommended books for my son to use.

Gerard is extremely committed to his pupils and takes a great interest to see them progress. There is no doubt that Gerard has instilled a sense of confidence into our son that has helped address the step up from GCSE to A level. He has helped take our son from a predicted D grade up to a B at AS level. We are now aiming for an A grade in his A levels this year and we are confident that with Gerard`s guidance, patience, experience and knowledge that this can be achieved. We would highly recommend Gerard to any parents looking for supplemental tutoring in maths.
