Information about Michael

I’m a professional maths tutor with thousands of hours of experience of providing effective 1-1 maths tuition. I have a Cambridge maths degree, an abiding love for maths and a passion to help students enjoy and master maths for themselves!

I offer engaging and effective A-level mathematics and further mathematics tuition, including IB and Cambridge Pre-U.

I also teach mature students, and university students requiring maths to support other degree subjects.

Typically my students are studying for A-levels or equivalent. I`ve prepared students for exams from all the major exam boards, including Edexcel, AQA, OCR, OCR-MEI, the Cambridge Pre-U and IB. I also prepare students for STEP, MAT and numeracy or numerical reasoning tests, including the numeracy skills test for prospective teachers.

Two of my three children have been through school and university and one is still at university, so I`ve been engaged closely with the education system at all levels and understand what both students and parents are looking for to achieve academic success. My family and I have lived in Cranleigh for over 20 years and have connections with a number of local schools.

More than almost any other subject, maths needs confidence to be built, and a patient, individually tailored approach. Able students may need practice to strengthen problem-solving and eliminate errors, a more joined-up view of maths to deepen their understanding, and challenge to stretch their capabilities. Others find A-level maths harder going, and an imaginative and pictorial approach with plenty of real world examples is needed to achieve that "penny drops" moment.

Depending on the student, tuition may include any or all of: coaching to consolidate (or anticipate) teaching at school, revision for examinations, working through past examination papers, teaching and testing of specific sections of the curriculum or more free-wheeling exploration of mathematical topics. By agreement with students and parents, homework may be set and marked.

If you want to succeed in your exams and also to deepen your appreciation of mathematics and have fun, then get in touch!

Availability: I’m available to teach at any time in the week to suit students, either on weekdays (daytime or evenings) or on Saturday mornings. I`m happy to teach online, in my own home, or in students` homes in Cranleigh or up to 10 miles away in the surrounding area in Surrey and West Sussex, including Guildford, Horsham and Godalming. If teaching in a student`s home outside Cranleigh, I may agree an additional charge for travel.

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Experience: I have thousands of hours of experience of providing effective 1-1 maths tuition. At peak times in the year I have had more than 40 active students on my books.

Michael was incredibly professional and explained certain areas of Maths in a different and much clearer way than my daughters teacher, making her have quite a few ‘light bulb’ moments.

We are extremely grateful to Michael for all the help and support that he gave our son in his last year of Maths A-level, without which he would not have had the ability or the confidence to achieve such a fantastic result!

Michael has been fantastic. My son`s confidence is returning, he says that Michael explains things in a way which he finds easier to understand, he is patient and goes at a pace which he can cope with.

So far Michael has been most helpful in accommodating us. Our son is finding his tuition for A level maths very helpful and finds that he is tailoring to his needs well. Michael is pleasant and professional to work with.

Michael has provided excellent support for my son studying A-level Maths. He has helped demystify some very complex maths, and worked on aspects of exam preparation which are usually ignored, such as a system for setting out working clearly. I would highly recommend Michael for anyone looking for a maths tutor in the area.

Michael has been a great tutor for my son, who is in his final year of A Levels and has required help with his Further Maths studies. He gets a lot out of his sessions and his confidence and knowledge has definitely improved. I would have no hesitation in recommending Michael!

My daughter`s confidence in her ability to do maths has improved vastly since starting with Michael, to the extent that she came 12th out of 190 students in a recent exam. Michael has helped her clear her "maths fog" and she is even considering economics as one of her A levels now, which certainly wouldn`t have been considered before. I`d certainly recommend Michael`s tuition if you are looking for maths help.

So far, we`ve only had four sessions, but it is clear to see that Michael is a superb tutor. Our 12 year old daughter comes out of tutoring lessons very enthusiastic and happy about maths. She has actually requested extra lessons during the Christmas holidays! She was a bit lost in maths class at school and Michael`s tutoring is boosting her confidence again. According to her: "the way Michael explains maths is so easy to understand".

Michael is a very professional, kind and knowledgeable tutor who is helping our daughter enjoy and understand maths.

Firstly, let me thank you for all the brilliant and effective support that you have provided for my daughter over the past months to work for her A levels.
Her understanding and confidence in her abilities in particular have catapulted since she has been working with you.
I can only recommend you to my friends and their children.
