My maths tutoring simplifies complex topics, boosts confidence, and turns frustration into progress through clear explanations and patient support. I tailor my approach to each student’s learning style, breaking down difficult ideas into steps that make sense. From number bonds to long division and problem-solving, my sessions help learners stay engaged, build skills, and begin to enjoy maths rather than fear it.
Whether you're struggling with basic arithmetic or tackling advanced calculus, I am here to help you build confidence and succeed in Maths. As a dedicated, experienced tutor, I offer tailored lessons for learners of all ages — from primary school students to adult learners. I pride myself on providing an engaging, supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace.

Mathew is an excellent tutor who helped my son with his Maths and French studies. He quickly assessed my sons needs for the upcoming common entrance exams and identified and addressed the specific areas where he was struggling and created a learning plan which has helped him considerably in both subjects. He is also very organised, setting questions to be completed before the next visit and tackling all the key learning points. Throughout, he gave constructive feedback on how the tutoring was progressing and what my son needed to do. My son was very grateful for the help Mathew provided and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for an experienced tutor to help their son or daughter.

Matthew helped me raise my standard from a B level in class to an A* in the GCSE Maths exam. He gave me a lot of opportunities to practise the application of Mathematical concepts that I didn’t understand. He made me understand all the things I was confused about. I also went on to achieve an A grade at AS Level, also with the help of Matthew’s tutoring.

Liam had a predicted grade B for his GCSE Maths, so we enlisted Matthew’s help as a Maths Tutor at Easter and Matthew tutored Liam up to his Maths exams. Liam has achieved a grade A through the help of Matthew’s tuition, encouragement and homework that he gave Liam. Liam is delighted that he achieved this grade as he did not anticipate to achieve above his predicted grade but the extra tuition with Matthew did help Liam achieve his grade A.

Matthew is a very professional and knowledgeable tutor. He provides a personalised approach to tutoring. Based on the student’s calibre he personalises his tutoring approach. Although my daughter was already doing well in Maths he provided her enough challenges to make the subject interesting and also expand her knowledge. He not only prepares the student from an examination viewpoint, he also ensures that the student understands the concept setting a solid foundation for higher learning and my daughter went on to achieve a Grade 9 (9 being the highest) in her new Maths GCSE. On a personal side, I find Matthew to be pleasant, approachable, flexible and dependable. He is always punctual and he lets you know in case he is running late.

Matthew is a great tutor. While I was doing my International Baccalaureate Diploma Programme (IBDP), I was really struggling to meet the high requirements from our Maths teachers. I especially had large gaps in Algebra, which Matthew helped me fill in. Once that was fixed, I went from strength to strength. Matthew helped me advance from a predicted grade of 3 to an actual grade of 6 in Maths (7 is the highest), in just 5 months. I have got into Bath University. Overall, I am very thankful to Matthew for all the time and effort he put into tutoring me.

Matthew is a very kind and helpful tutor who helped me in my Maths A Level when i was extremely behind, even at such short notice before the exams. In the end I managed to go to university to study Biomedical Science! Matthew structures his lessons very well and always makes sure to set homework for anyone to consolidate their learning. He teaches concepts step by step and made sure I didn’t continue until I understood the topic. He is an excellent tutor and I strongly recommend him.
