Head of Mathematics | GCSE Maths, A Level Maths & Further Maths Tutor | 10+ Years Tutoring Experience

I am an experienced Mathematics teacher and currently serve as Head of Mathematics at St Bernard’s High School. Prior to this, I taught for eight years at Southend High School for Boys, one of the country’s leading grammar schools, where I developed extensive experience teaching students across a wide range of abilities and academic backgrounds.

Alongside my classroom teaching, I have been tutoring Mathematics for over 10 years, supporting students at Key Stage 3, GCSE and A Level, including Further Mathematics. I have successfully helped students build confidence, strengthen their mathematical understanding and achieve their academic goals, whether they are aiming to secure a pass grade, improve their GCSE results, or gain entry to competitive university courses.

My approach to online tuition is highly interactive and closely mirrors the classroom experience. Using a visualiser tablet and screen-sharing technology, I can explain concepts clearly, model solutions step-by-step and work through exam questions in real time. This allows students to see the full problem-solving process, ask questions throughout the lesson and receive immediate feedback.

I believe that every student can make significant progress in Mathematics with the right support, and I tailor my teaching to each individual’s needs, learning style and aspirations. My lessons focus not only on mastering mathematical techniques but also on developing confidence, independence and effective exam skills.

Experience: I have over 15 years of experience teaching Mathematics in high-performing secondary schools and over 10 years of experience as a private tutor. I am currently Head of Mathematics at St Bernard’s High School, where I lead the department and teach students across Key Stages 3, 4 and 5. Prior to this, I spent eight years teaching at Southend High School for Boys, gaining extensive experience in delivering outstanding Mathematics education to students of all abilities.

Throughout my career, I have taught a wide range of courses, including KS3 Mathematics, GCSE Mathematics (Foundation and Higher Tier), A Level Mathematics and A Level Further Mathematics. This breadth of experience enables me to support students at every stage of their mathematical journey, from building core numeracy skills to preparing for the most demanding A Level examinations.

As a tutor, I have worked with students from a variety of educational backgrounds, helping them improve confidence, close knowledge gaps, achieve target grades and prepare for entrance examinations. Many of my students have gone on to exceed their predicted grades and secure places at competitive sixth forms and universities.

My extensive classroom and tutoring experience means I have a deep understanding of exam requirements, common misconceptions and the most effective strategies for helping students make rapid and sustained progress.
