Getting Confident with Maths
Classroom style teaching does not suit everyone. It can also have consequences on confidence or enjoyment levels when it comes to complex subjects like maths. That’s where personalised tutoring can step in, ensuring you can learn in a style that suits you.

Preparing for A-Levels
Taking the next step in education can be an intimidating step. I’m here to help young learners do more than just master the basics, instead supporting them by simplifying the more advanced concepts they’ll approach in A-Levels.
Chris has been a fantastic tutor for my son’s 11+ maths and my daughter’s GCSE maths and chemistry. My son has even been accepted for every school he sat and really enjoyed his lessons with Chris. My daughter has very much improved and is confident in these subjects now. I very much recommend Chris!
