Information about Gary

I have fourteen years experience running bespoke tuition programs for some of the most prestigious agencies, schools and universities in London. I have a 5* rating across a number of online platforms, as rated by the parents of my students. I also work for super tutor agencies, which has included teaching royal princes as well as their state school outreach programs. I also have three and a half years experience teaching teaching at university level at King`s College London, where I was awarded a teaching excellence award for each year I was there, as nominated by students, putting me in the top 10% of teachers at one of the world`s top universities.

My manner is upbeat and patient, and I utilise a well-developed discursive and illustrative teaching approach designed to help students come to approach problems with confidence and rigour. My focus is never to merely drill set methods into students, soon to be forgotten, but by focusing on logical reasoning from well-founded principles, they can solve any possible problem that arises within the curriculum or in life beyond

In addition to my teaching pursuits, my intellectual and cultural interests are very diverse- from playwriting, theatre, art, film, history, politics and the arts generally, to cycling, tennis, hiking and travelling. I always utilise my wide range of interests and experiences to encourage students to flourish intellectually beyond the prescribed syllabus.

Reviews from parents of past students:

***** `Gary is a brilliant tutor who explains complex concepts clearly and methodically. He is very patient and has developed a great rapport with my son, who has grown in confidence. Gary’s enthusiasm for the subject shines through and my son always looks forward to his lessons. I thoroughly recommend Gary as a tutor.` *****

***** ‘Gary is an excellent teacher. He combines a friendly upbeat approach with rigorous teaching. My son, who never liked or was any good at maths, now enjoys the subject and has made great progress and always looks forward to his lesson with Gary. I highly recommend him as a tutor.’ *****

***** ‘My daughter just seemed to lose confidence in her maths and I contacted Gary. It was a very late decision- April, when the exams were due in May/June! Gary was fantastic- my daughter said there were areas of confusion that were clarified by Gary, she will never forget the methods Gary used to resolve particular questions and this just brought her confidence back. She an awful mock result and was talking of dropping maths altogether but she got A grade in her AS! I can`t thank Gary enough. To be able to help in such a short period of time, absolutely amazing.’ *****

Gary has been working with my 15 year-old daughter for a few months and has already made a difference to her confidence in this final GCSE year. He is incredibly pro-active in focusing on her needs from week to week and has an easy manner that she enjoys as well as a very clear way of explaining things she finds difficult. I am certain his input will continue to be a great help. If you`re lucky enough to find a slot in his busy schedule, you won`t be disappointed.
