Peter

I'm a Maths tutor, specialising in A-level and above, for all examination boards, and all Uni entrance exams.

I'm based in Milton Keynes and since 2003 I've helped hundreds of students achieve great results, via online and face-to-face tuition.

I love what I do!

Teaching Experience

Over the past 20+ years I have gained a wealth of experience of tutoring students from a wide variety of backgrounds and with a wide variety of needs.

I'm continually reviewing and amending the way I deliver my lessons, embracing technology where appropriate to deepen students' understanding.

Tutoring Approach

I think it's important at this level to empower the student to choose what they want to cover in each lesson, whilst supporting and guiding them in those choices if necessary.

Each student has their own unique needs and learning style, so I tailor each lesson to make our time together as effective as possible. No two lessons are the same!

I've developed a vast bank of resources which I use during lessons and share with students if needed.

ClaireFirst Tutors

Peter is a first class tutor. He has put my daughter at ease, and she has learnt so much in a short space of time. Peter has focused in on the areas she needs support and is working hard to upskill her, and is really engaged. I can't recommend more highly!

Tutor response

Thank you for your kind feedback Claire :-)

RachelFirst Tutors

Peter has been amazing!! I was looking for a tutor for my daughter to help support her ready for her A Level maths mock exams. Peter was able to accommodate us at short notice and provides weekly and sometimes twice weekly lessons and homework tailored to her needs. He has worked through her knowledge base and filled in any missing gaps as well as covering areas that she has also requested. We have been so impressed with what has been achieved in a short period of time. Highly recommend him.

Tutor response

Hi Rachel, thank you for your very kind feedback. I am delighted to see the progress your daughter is making and I'll continue to do what I can to help her maximise and reach her potential. Peter.

StephanieFirst Tutors

After a prompt response, my son is finding help from Peter is invaluable learning much better than classroom teaching. So far so good!

JeffFirst Tutors

Peter was very accommodating and he arranged twice weekly sessions which were fitted into my own time schedules. This included providing one tuition session during the weekend. The sessions my son has undertaken have been really useful to him. His confidence is growing and he will return to school with a much clearer understanding of the subject material which was causing him difficulty. The tuition period is clearly well-planned and it represents good value for money. Peter is cheerful and polite and he provides my son with sufficient examples (by way of homework) to reinforce and clarify the lessons. My son has told me that Peter provides clear explanations of the material and he can see the issues that bother my son and takes time to explain them properly. He is patient and thorough and can be highly recommended. I would have no hesitation in recommending Peter to any prospective student of Maths. (edit for update… ) The arranged course of sessions has now concluded. I was pleased and surprised to find that Peter had given my son some homework for the final lesson and will mark it after the sessions were completed. This is an excellent commitment to providing help and assistance to students. Peter is an outstanding tutor and you will do well to hire him for teaching any student of maths. Five star tuition and five star reliability. Thank you very much Peter. I am certain that we will be engaging you again when my son is due to sit the examination.

Tutor response

Thank you for your feedback, much appreciated.

MariaFirst Tutors

Peter has been great so far and I would not hesitate to recommend him as a tutor. Peter is a very good tutor, funny and makes it look easier that it actually is.

Tutor response

Thank you for the feedback, much appreciated. I am very pleased with Jamie's progress with GCSE and Further Maths.

StewartFirst Tutors

We used Peter for A level maths for our daughter pre-exams, for some specific problem areas. Her feedback was absolutely great, he immediately understood what she was struggling with and explained things in a way she understood perfectly. This is the second time we used him, having also had Peter for our son's further maths A level two years ago. Thoroughly recommend.

Tutor response

Many thanks for your feedback Stewart :-)

JoeFirst Tutors

My son has had a good start with Peter as a tutor. Though he has only had a few sessions with him, he has grown in confidence and understanding of the work he needs to do for maths A2. I think that Peter will be an invaluble guide through the next year for my son.

Tutor response

Many thanks for the feedback. Much appreciated :-)

ShirleyFirst Tutors

Yes, Peter is great and my son likes him. He is a very clear, calm teacher and has excellent experience and knowledge. It is very reassuring to know that, after a week of maths lessons at school, he is visting us at the end of the week, to go over any difficult pieces.

Tutor response

Thank you for the feedback Shirley, much appreciated. Regards, Peter.

We have found Peter to be very helpful with our Son's math needs. He explains things clearly,is patient and has a sense of humour! Our son feels comfortable asking about anything he is unsure of and actually enjoys his math lessons with Peter! We would definitely recommend Peter.

Tutor response

Thanks for the feedback Birgit. I hope the hard work continues and the results follow.

OlawaleFirst Tutors

Peter tutored my son for his A levels in maths and further maths. He is patient, flexible and will accommodate any demands. Above all, he is an excellent maths teacher and I am happy to say that my son achieved an A in maths at A level and is now going to Bristol to study Engineering.

Tutor response

Well done Akin! All your hard work with Maths and Further Maths has paid off. I wish you every success at Bristol.

GregFirst Tutors

Greg has definitely regained his confidence in his abilities during the four sessions with Peter prior to sitting his mock A2 exams in December. Peter was always on time - despite the bad weather - and flexible when Greg needed to reschedule a session.

Tutor response

I am pleased that Greg has benefitted from our sessions so far and look forward to seeing him continue his good work.

CatherineFirst Tutors

Peter has a serious and methodical approach to tuition which is exactly what my son needs. We will await the exam in January to see if the extra help is paying off but callum feels more confident in As maths lessons now and confidence is a big issue with him due to some rather poor teaching in the important GCSE years at his school.

Tutor response

Thank you for the feedback. I am pleased Callum is making progress and hope he continues his efforts towards reaching his potential.

SusannahFirst Tutors

We're very pleased with the help that Peter has been giving Sam. Peter explains things in a way that Sam finds easy to grasp and Sam is quickly regaining the confidence that he lost over the last couple of years. We would definitely recommend him.

Tutor response

Thank you for the feedback. I am pleased that Sam is regaining his confidence and I look forward to seeing him making further progress now he has more time for practise between lessons.

SarahFirst Tutors

Peter, I would have no hesitation in highly recommending you to others seeking tuition. In the very short period we have had prior to Charlotte's GCSE you have inspired and helped her to become competent and confident in her abilities in this area, much more so than I expected. Asking you to help her was definitely one of my better decisions! Thank you.

Tutor response

Thank you for the feedback. I am delighted with Charlotte's progress to date. I am confident she will do very well if she keeps up her current work rate.

SallyFirst Tutors

Teddy tells me that you are really helping him and that the sessions are very useful, so thank you. He is not good at doing his revision, and you have motivated him to work between tutorials. Teddy also says he has been more on top of his AS maths since he returned to school as a result of the work with you during the holidays.

Tutor response

Many thanks for the feedback. I am pleased with Teddy's progress to date and I am sure that if he keeps working hard enough he will succeed.

LouiseFirst Tutors

Peter has helped my son enormously with his As maths revision and I cannot rate him highly enough.

Tutor response

Thank you very much for the feedback. I am really pleased with Louis' progress and hope he keeps up the good work!

ArunFirst Tutors

My son's confidence has improved considerably. Peter takes time to explain the basics and is supportive. He is competent and has bulit a good relation with my son.I would definitely recommend him.

Tutor response

Thankyou for the feedback. I too am pleased with Arun's progress at A level and if he keeps up the work between lessons he should reach his potential.

EleanorFirst Tutors

My daughter needed to ensure that she achieved an A* at A2 maths. She didn't find the two sessions she had with Peter very helpful, but it may have been just a personality thing.

Tutor response

I am sorry Ellie didn't get as much out of our sessions as she expected. I didn't perceive any personality problems, but "you can't win them all". I wish Ellie the very best of luck in achieving her objectives.

DermotFirst Tutors

Peter is a wonderful tutor. He has built an excellent and highly effective rapport with my daughter which has facilitated her engagement with learning. Peter has been patient and skilled in supporting our daughter learn. He has also been very proactive in helping us to sort out GCSE entry and an exam centre - things we could not have achieved without his help. I recommend Peter very highly because he is a very knowledgeable, professional and highly skilled.tutor.

Tutor response

Thankyou Dermot, much apprecıated. I thınk you meant to say IGCSE though!
