My lessons are relaxed, friendly and fully tailored to adult learners.
I’m an easy-going tutor and very easy to get along with!
I understand that many adults come back to Maths or Science feeling nervous, out of practice, or unsure where to start. My job is to make the process simple, clear and confidence-building.

I use a touchscreen laptop as an interactive whiteboard, so you can see everything I write in real time just as you would in a classroom. This makes explanations visual, step-by-step and easy to follow.

I have a large bank of exam questions, practice tasks and real examples ready to use, and I adapt them to your level — whether you're aiming for Functional Skills, a GCSE retake, workplace numeracy, or just want to build confidence.

You’re always in control

Everyone learns differently, so you decide the pace:
Want to speed up? We speed up.
Prefer to slow down and revisit the basics? Absolutely.
Need extra examples or more practice? No problem.
I tailor every session to what you need on the day.

Lesson length

Most adult learners choose 1 hour sessions, but I also offer longer or shorter sessions depending on your preference and availability.

Who my lessons are for

- Adult learners returning to education
- Functional Skills Level 1 & 2
- GCSE Maths or Sciences retakes
- Access to HE (Science/Health) students
- Adults who want to improve confidence in Maths or Science
- Learners preparing for job-related numeracy tests

My goal is simple: clear explanations, no judgement, and steady progress at a pace that suits you.
