Tutor Profile

Edward

Private Maths Tutor in South Croydon

I am a qualified Maths teacher currently lecturing in GCSE Maths and Aeronautical Engineering, with degrees in both Aerospace Engineering and Teaching.

Tutees tend to fall into the following 3 categories:

  • needing advanced help to reach full potential and achieve grade 7/8/9,
  • predicted a borderline pass or fail at school and needing help to secure a pass,
  • failed at first attempt and needing assistance with retake.

N.B. I have also become popular with boarding school students who use the online tuition service I offer.

Teaching Experience

I have a proven track record with all of the above, and have a huge stock of examining body approved resources and worksheets specific to individual topics in the syllabus.

Tutoring Experience My teaching experience consists of 15 years spent teaching Maths as a college lecturer and personal tutor.

Tutoring Approach

My usual approach for preparing a student to score as highly as possible in GCSE exams is to work together in attempting past paper after past paper. Doing this not only gets the student very familiar and experienced with what to expect in the exam, but also flags up areas of weakness.

These weak areas/topics are then focused on until full competence is shown.

This approach irons out weaknesses, and gives constant assessment and demonstrable improvement. Objective progression is shown, and the student becomes confident with sitting exams.

Ed was fantastic at finding the balance my son needed to successfully pass his exams with confidence. My son enjoyed the experience and will wish to continue his learning with Ed in the future. Many thanks Ed, Darren

Ed was a great tutor to my son for over 3 years. His calm, patience and ability to simplify problems really helped my son to build an understanding and confidence in maths. My son achieved a successful maths GCSE grade and we are delighted with the results. Moreover we are delighted with the new learning habits that appear to have rubbed off from Ed too. Thank you Ed for everything that you have done and we hope that everyone under his tutelage benefits as much as our son has.

Really helping my daughter with her maths very understanding and knowledgeable

SuzanneFirst Tutors

Considering maths is one of my daughter's least favourite subjects, she's always happy to do her tutor sessions with Ed - that speaks volumes! I asked her for feedback and she says Ed explains things really well and he's gradually working up the GCSE grades with her in terms of gradually increasing the difficulty. So far so good.

Ed tutored my daughter for GCSE Maths who achieved grade 8. He structured the sessions focused around exam question practise which was great for identifying topics to drill down into for further learning and questions. He also focused on topics based on request. Approach worked well for my daughter & online sessions were very prompt with good use of communication tools. Thanks for your help Ed!
