Alastair

*Unmatched expertise: I hold a 1st-class BSc, a distinction MSc, a PhD in Applied Mathematics, and a PGCE in Mathematics from King’s College London. I’ve taught all strands of A-Level and Further Maths, including Further Pure/Mechanics/Statistics and Decision - meaning students don’t need to juggle multiple tutors.

*More than just a lesson: I offer ongoing, flexible support 7 days a week. If a student gets stuck on a problem or needs more practice, they can message me anytime for quick help or extra material. I aim to respond the same day, usually within hours.

*Instant resources when needed: I have access to a vast bank of past paper questions and can generate topic-specific worksheets in seconds. Whether it’s targeted practice for a weak area or reinforcement after a lesson, I ensure students get what they need, when they need it.

*Full-time, year-round professional: Tutoring is my career, not a "side-gig". I’m available during half-terms and holidays, and I take all my leave during the quieter summer months to maximise availability when it counts most.

Experience: I am a former GCSE and A-Level Maths and Further Maths teacher with classroom experience at top-performing London schools, including teaching top-set Year 11 and Year 13. I have taught all major strands of A-Level and Further Maths - Further Pure/Mechanics/Statistics, and Decision.

Over the past six years as a full-time online tutor, I’ve delivered more than 7,500 one-to-one lessons, helping students consistently achieve top grades (A/A*). I’ve also worked as an examiner, giving me valuable insight into how to coach students for maximum marks under exam conditions.

Before entering education, I worked for over a decade in engineering consultancy, leading a technical team solving high-level mathematical problems - experience that enriches the real-world relevance and depth of my maths teaching.
