Alexander

I am an energetic and empathetic tutor with over 700 hours' experience. I have recently graduated from Imperial College London with a First-class Honours Mathematics BSc (76%) and will be attending University of Cambridge in October to complete a Master's in Economics. Whilst at School, I attained A*s in Maths, Further Maths and Physics at A-Level alongside 11 A*s at GCSE (including A** in Further Maths). In addition, I competed in the British Mathematical Olympiad and tutored a GCSE Maths class for my Gold DofE.

Tutoring Experience

I have been tutoring professionally for over 3 years now, specialising in 11+/ 13+ entrance exams and GCSE/A-Level Maths. This translates to approximately 700 hours' tutoring experience. Notably, in the past year, I have had a student awarded Eton's prestigious King's Scholarship alongside another student being awarded places at both Eton and Harrow for 13+ entry. In addition, I tutored two GCSE Maths students who achieved 7 and 9 (having been predicted 4 and 7, respectively) and an A-Level student who achieved A*A* in Maths and Further Maths having been predicted AB.

Tutoring Approach

With Mathematics, I find engaged practice by far the most effective way to improve. My lessons are therefore predominantly based around the student completing questions themselves, whilst I offer constructive hints and explain complex concepts in an easy to understand manner. Nobody learns from watching someone else do a question, but if you are in the driving seat you become more adept at understanding and answering the wide variety of questions presented at school level mathematics, ultimately improving both your confidence and ability.

My lessons are completed optimally online, since I have an interactive tablet alongside digital PDFs of all the current school textbooks and past papers.
