Achieve in IGCSE Maths
Tuition Tailored For Success
Achieving your personal goals when it comes to IGCSE Maths is possible. My tuition provides you with the tools you need to become an independent learner able to move forward with confidence. Our sessions will be built to match your learning style, ensuring even the most complex of mathematical concepts will be within your grasp.


Benefits of Tuition
Succeeding in Exams
Preparing for exams can be stressful. My tuition aims to alleviate worries about ill-preparedness and instead help students feel confident about reaching their exam goals. From getting a firm grasp of the curriculum to knowing how to approach a paper, I provide them with the tools to achieve their potential.
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 is an amazing tutor. He is a brilliant communicator and breaks everything down into easy digestable chunks. He has helped my son secure firm offers from 2 competitive independent schools in London and Chris has been instrumental in that. He is organised, punctual and leaves lesson notes and relevant homework. I can’t recommend him more highly and it was one of the best decisions I made
