Oxford PhD Maths Tutor | KS2, KS3, GCSE, A-level & IB | 13+ Years’ Experience | Build Understanding & Top Exam Grades

I’m a biochemist with a DPhil (PhD) in Biochemistry from the University of Oxford and over 13 years’ experience tutoring school-level Chemistry. I studied at Shrewsbury School, then Imperial College London with a first class for my Bachelor’s degree, before completing my doctorate at Oxford, where my research was published in leading scientific journals.

This means I don’t just know the KS2 to GCSE, A-level and IB syllabuses – I work with Maths and related sciences at a very high level and understand exactly how the school material builds towards real-world science and university study. I also myself have achieved A* for Maths and Further Maths at A-level and GCSE, so I truly understand what it takes to achieve top grades.

I specialise in preparing students for all the main UK exam boards: AQA, OCR, Edexcel, WJEC and CIE as well as IB Chemistry (SL/HL) and Cambridge Pre-U Chemistry.

As a tutor, I’m calm, organised and very student-focused. I’m used to working with a wide range of learners – from students who are really struggling with the basics and need Maths to feel less overwhelming, to ambitious students aiming for A/A* and competitive courses such as Medicine, Natural Sciences and related degrees.

In addition, I have:
• Supported many students applying for competitive university courses, especially Oxbridge
• Helped with course selection, personal statement drafting and mock interviews for Biology, Biochemistry, Natural Sciences, Medicine and Biomedical Sciences for Oxbridge.

My students and their parents often comment on:
• clear, step-by-step explanations of tricky topics
• patience and encouragement, especially when confidence is low
• thorough preparation and tailored lesson plans
• a strong focus on exam technique as well as understanding

Whether a student is trying to secure a solid pass or push into top grades, my aim is the same: deep understanding, sharp exam skills and genuine confidence in Maths.

Many students find Maths abstract and overwhelming – lots of symbols, equations and exceptions. In my lessons we make the subject clear, logical and exam-focused, so you truly understand it and can turn that understanding into marks.
