I specialise in GCSE Maths (Higher and Foundation tiers, AQA/Edexcel/OCR/IGCSE), helping students stuck at grades 4/5 climb to 6/7/8/9—or secure solid passes on Foundation. With 12+ years teaching and tutoring, including Teach First in London/Mexico City and SEN support, I turn exam anxiety into confidence.

Every session starts with a quick diagnostic of your gaps (algebra, geometry, ratios, etc.), then targets them via worked examples, exam-style questions, and timed practice. Weekly lessons build skills steadily; intensive revision or pre-exam boosts tackle mocks and resits fast. All online via Zoom/Skype for flexibility—no travel, shared screens, instant resources.

Recent successes: Foundation students to grade 5; Higher from 5 to 8; 11+ prep passes. I’ve supported Russell Group applications and logged 100+ online hours.

Qualifications: PGCE Maths (UCL), Masters Leadership (UCL), BA History 2:1 (Durham). A/A-Level Maths (pre-A* era), Advanced Extension Awards Distinction.

Flexible: weekly, block bookings (10% off 10+ lessons prepaid). Message with your tier/board/target for a free 15-min plan!
