Devan Patel Msc (Eng) Beng (Hons)

I am a student pilot based out of Florida (will be returning to the UK in 6 weeks). My background is in engineering, with a Masters degree in Advanced Aerospace Engineering and a Bachelors degree in Aircraft Engineering with Pilot Studies. During my A levels, I used to tutor maths to younger years in school as well as privately.

My lesson structures are dependent on the student: I can go over theory for a particular topic and then work through progressively harder examples, or you can provide difficult questions and we can work through them together (I will also provide further examples to develop and reinforce your understanding on said topic).

My lesson style is witty, relaxed, and student-focused—think of it as maths with a personality. I break down tricky concepts with humour, real-life examples (often with an aviation twist), and clear, step-by-step explanations. Lessons are interactive and conversational, not lectures, and I encourage questions, bad jokes, and “aha!” moments. The goal is to make maths feel less like a chore and more like solving a puzzle - with a tutor who keeps it light but knows their stuff.

You should pick me to be your maths tutor because I combine a strong academic background with a down-to-earth, engaging teaching style. I know how to make complex ideas make sense, whether it’s algebra, calculus, or applied maths, and I do it in a way that’s relaxed, clear, and even a bit fun. I’ll tailor lessons to your pace, explain things in real-world terms, and help you build confidence along the way. If you’re looking for someone who knows their stuff but doesn’t take themselves too seriously, I’m your guy.
