Typically, a lesson begins by my asking what has been going on in school and seeing they need any support in their current lessons. Then, following that we might follow on from something we were doing the previous week, or address some structural issue that has become apparent in that or preceding hours.

Normally, the teaching is problem-based, where we work through the questions and explore by doing, although some hours can be spent in more conventional teaching if it seems appropriate. For younger primary school students, some time will also be spent on general knowledge and breaking up content into smaller chunks that the attention span can handle.

Depending on the situation, we might conclude with a plan for what homework will be provided, and what will be coming up in the next hour.

I have been tutoring for ten years at this point, with more than three thousand hours of tutoring experience. There aren't many problems that I haven't come across already! I began in face-to-face tutoring but shifted online during the last pandemic.

I do have a DBS certificate, which is updated by the DBS update service.

Technical blurb:
Teaching is conducted over Wire and an online whiteboard, which is free for you to use, and does not require registration. A good internet connection and decent equipment is essential. Payment is by bank transfer, details of which will be supplied after the first hour. Cancellations are free up until the day before, although good reasons and reschedulings are often acceptable instead of paying the cancellation session fee on the day.

Our daughter has found her A Level Maths tutoring incredibly helpful. Oliver takes challenging and explains them clearly and brings the subject to life! She tells me finds lessons genuinely interesting. The knowledge, patience, and enthusiasm shown by Oiliver, had made a real difference to her confidence and progress.

I have been absolutely delighted with Oliver as a maths tutor for my son, who is currently in Year 8. From the very first session, his passion for teaching and ability to explain complex topics clearly and patiently was immediately evident. He always takes the time to ensure my son has fully grasped each concept before moving on, which has made a real difference to his progress. Oliver quickly identified the areas where my son needed the most support and tailored each lesson accordingly, making his sessions feel focused and productive. My son's confidence in maths has grown enormously since they started working together, and I have seen a marked improvement in both his understanding and his results. Oliver is also incredibly responsive — whether it is a quick question between sessions or arranging an extra lesson ahead of an exam, he always replies promptly and is genuinely happy to help. He is reliable, consistently well-prepared and brings real enthusiasm to every session. Most te

Oliver has tutored both my sons to GCSE, and A Level Maths, very successfully. My eldest achieved an A* at A Level Mathematics and my youngest is just about to take his exams. Oliver has a very calm and purposeful approach, putting students at their ease, so they feel comfortable to ask questions etc. Both my sons have enjoyed their lessons. Oliver is very knowledgeable and delivers lessons in a relaxed manner and explains concepts very clearly, sending on all resources directly after each lesson. I can highly recommend Oliver as a Maths tutor without any hesitation.
