Lewis

My name is Lewis and I am a fully qualified maths teacher. I am passionate about boosting students' confidence and instilling an enjoyment of maths, enabling students to excel in this important subject.

Teaching Experience

I taught for 7 years as at an outstanding secondary school. During this time I taught students from year 7 to year 13 and I taught students with a range of abilities including top set students and students who were resitting their GCSE's. I have also taught students with a range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).

I now teach students 1:1, mostly online (KS2 upwards), through private tutoring, as well as tutoring for AimforA, a tutoring company that provides booster tutoring for students over the school holidays.

I was on firsttutors for years and had lots of positive reviews on there but sadly they closed down with no notice and I lost all of these. I am therefore offering the first lesson for free as you have no reviews to check out.

Tutoring Approach

Having a genuine enjoyment of maths and using mathematical concepts at degree level enables me to teach students in a way that gives them a deep understanding of maths as opposed to a surface level understanding. This makes them more likely to remember, and be able to apply this knowledge to a range of situations to solve problems both in school and beyond this.

I am patient and considerate of the fact that some students find maths anxiety provoking and have a track history of supporting students to feel more confident about maths. I use technology to ensure that the online aspect of tutoring is not a barrier. Sharing my iPad screen enables me to write on the screen like you would a piece of paper in front of them, students can also write on this.

I would like to personally thank Lewis for his excellent help and support with tutoring my daughter. She went from a grade 2 in her GCSE mock exam, to a grade 6 in her final GCSE exam. We allowed her to look through the tutors and her choice was to go with Lewis. He’s extremely approachable, patient and deeply knowledgable. He turned her from a child afraid of maths to actually looking forward to her lessons. Her time with Lewis was well spent and pushed her into passing her final exam. I wish that we had found Lewis years ago. If your child is in anyway struggling I would definitely recommend this amazing tutor. Once again - thank you very very much Lewis!

Lewis is an exceptional maths tutor who makes learning both engaging and enjoyable. His ability to explain complex concepts in a simple and clear manner has made a huge difference in my daughter's confidence and understanding of maths. One of the things that sets Lewis apart is his effective use of technology. His online lessons are just as impactful as in-person sessions because he is highly competent and knows how to make the most of digital tools/resources. He tailors each lesson to suit the student's needs, ensuring they get the support they require. Lewis is also incredibly approachable, creating a comfortable environment where students feel confident asking questions. After every session, my daughter is always happy and excited because she finally understands how to work through problems in the best possible way. I highly recommend Lewis to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and engaging maths tutor! Thank you Lewis

My daughter is doing GCSE this year, we are so pleased that we found Lewis. We have online lessons with him, he’s very experienced in teaching maths, and very patient. My daughter improved so much in a short period of time. We’d highly recommend him to anyone.

First Tutors

Lewis is friendly and very approachable, particularly for our 12 year old Son. Lewis is very good at adapting his explanations and examples to things which kids understand and can visualise, reinforcing knowledge as it's learnt. I will strongly recommend Lewis for Maths tutoring. His help with our Son's maths was exceptional and yielded excellent test results which we would not have expected prior to his tuition.

My Son was in need of a Maths tutor for year 11 and his GCSE exams . Lewis helped him with online lessons weekly and it made such a huge difference in Frankies approach to learning. My son Frankie went from failing and not been engaged to understanding what he was learning and passing his exams. Such a good investment and I would recommend Lewis as a maths tutor any day

First Tutors

Lewis has been helping our son through year 10 and will continue through year 11 to help with his GCSEs… he has helped our son immensely particularly in areas he had struggled with and his exam results at the end of term were 2 grades up on his previous results. I’d highly recommend Lewis.

First Tutors

My daughter has had online lessons with Lewis for a couple of months. Her confidence in the subject has improved dramatically. Importantly she finds Lewis approachable and is very happy to have her weekly tutorial with him. I was concerned with an online session at first (rather than face to face) however the format is working well. Would highly recommend Lewis wherever you are in the country!

First Tutors

My daughter was apprehensive at first about online lessons but Lewis makes the sessions run really effectively and is great at making people feel at ease and comfortable. My daughter is studying for A level Maths and her weekly lessons with Lewis are definitely helping to boost her confidence. Lewis knows the curriculum well and is always happy to structure the lesson around the topics my daughter wishes to cover that week.

First Tutors

Lewis is a great tutor. He is patient and good with young student.

First Tutors

Lewis has been a real help with my daughters Math workload. She is a year 9 and struggles with some of the more difficult aspects such as trigonometry and equations of a straight line. His calm, methodical approach is commendable and is able to get the point across to youngsters. Would not hesitate to recommend

First Tutors

I have nothing but praise for Lewis. He is very personable & flexible. My son is mildly autistic & Lewis explains everything to him in a very clear, concise way. He has also managed to increase my son’s confidence very quickly. I would definitely recommend him.

First Tutors

My son is really pleased with the lessons delivered by Lewis and thinks they are of enormous benefit to him. Lewis is really good at breaking down difficult questions and help you work out answers by yourself. His style of teaching is focused, precise, clear and concise. An excellent teacher. Lewis has also given my son confidence that he can achieve the highest mark in maths which he wants to get in order to access a selective school.

First Tutors

Lewis was quick to respond and discuss my son’s specific requirements. He has engaged well with my son who has said that Lewis has an interactive and engaging approach making his learning easier and is already making a difference on his understanding.

First Tutors

Lewis has been absolutely brilliant! Every interaction I’ve had with him from my initial enquiry to general questions after tutoring sessions have been professional, friendly and extremely helpful and we knew we’d found the right person. When it comes to the sessions, my daughter couldn’t stop smiling after her first one and commented that Lewis was able to explain to her more in 1 hour than her school teacher had been able to do all term. We’re both really grateful to have found Lewis and I’m excited for my daughter to continue working with him.
