Build understanding, transform grades. Lessons from a Qualified Teacher & 1st Class Maths Specialist | Former Head of Maths

Do you want to improve your maths understanding or that of your children? I'm a former Head of Mathematics at a Cambridge secondary school and sixth form college, with 15+ years of one-to-one tuition experience. I hold a First-Class Mathematics degree and Qualified Teacher Status. My teaching focuses on clear explanations, addressing misconceptions, and building lasting understanding. I have many 5 star reviews from over 15 years of successful tuition, here is one recent one: "Chris has tutored both of my children at GCSE and A level and I cannot recommend him highly enough. After moving from Canada we discovered there were significant gaps in their understanding of math due to the different curriculum and methodologies. Under Chris’ tutelage both of my children have gained in confidence and were able to achieve amazing results. My youngest son’s success at GCSE was such that the head of his Math’s department said he had never had another student make such progress (he went from a grade 6/7 to a 9 in Maths and a 4/5 to an 8 in Further Maths). Chris has continued to teach him during A levels and he just achieved an A in his mock exam." I work with students across KS3, GCSE, A-level and Further Maths, helping with everything from building confidence and closing knowledge gaps to securing top grades. My teaching is structured and personalised, with a focus on developing secure understanding that lasts beyond the next test. If you’d like to explore whether I’d be a good fit, just reply with a suitable time, or further questions, and I’d be happy to help. I hold a PGCE, MA (distinction), BSc (1st class).
