Approachable, friendly and patient Maths tutor helping all students achieve their potential

Hi, I'm Steven. I work as a Associate Professor at the University of Birmingham. I have a passion for all things science and mathematical. I have worked with and been successful in helping young people of all interests and abilities. I aim to bring out the best in children to help them achieve and feel a pride in what they do. I find this very rewarding and hope to find a way for different types of learners to make good progress. I believe maths becomes much easier when students genuinely understand the reasons behind the methods they use. My lessons focus on building understanding, confidence, and problem-solving skills rather than simply memorising procedures. As an approachable, friendly, and patient tutor, I tailor every lesson to the individual student's needs, pace, and goals. Whether you're preparing for exams, improving grades, or strengthening core skills, lessons are designed specifically for you. A typical lesson includes: Reviewing previous learning and addressing any difficulties. Clear, step-by-step explanations of key concepts. Guided practice with support and feedback. Independent problem-solving to build confidence. A summary of progress and areas to focus on next. University qualifications : - University of Strathclyde - Ph.D. Biomedical Engineering - University of Strathclyde - M.Sc. Biomedical Engineering - University of Sunderland - B.Sc. Sports Sciences I currently tutor medical students at the University of Birmingham. I have also been a lecturer and tutor to postgraduate and other undergraduate students in the subjects of statistics, health research, biomedical devices, and biomechanics (human movement).
