Edward has tutored my son in Physics. He has been an incredible help getting through mock exams and has improved my sons grade. I would not hesitate in recommending him.
From Claudia
Edward is the perfect Maths tutor for my son. It literally only took one lesson for him ti find out where the gaps and challenges lie and work started instantly to get on top of this and give my son his confidence in Maths back. Worth every penny, thank you.
From Mike
My son Tom enjoys Edwards physics lessons - good tutor - recommended
From Elizabeth
A few lessons in and my daughter's enthusiasm has doubled and she is so much less stressed about doing her Maths GCSE next year. I would definitely recommend Edward as a tutor.
From Marcela
Great attitude and always on time for the lesson.
Many thanks

He's a very good teacher but was unfamiliar with the new maths A level course-this was 2 years ago. I am adult student and it was a steep learning course, i didn't know what a quadratic and what an integer meant - to look that up before A level tests is a bit brutal. You can learn stuff yourself but if you are new to maths you need to know what it is that you are suppose to learn. If you pick this tutor for A level make sure you have read the curriculum and have done GCSE not too far back that you cant remember any of it. He didn't go over the basics quickly which in maths you cant do without. If you are moving from GCSE to A levels then you should not have any problems. By the time i went over the GCSE stuff the A level course was over. It could have been better organised. It was like doing A levels without any GCSE background, going over GCSE using maths solutions website before seeing him might help.He is a very kind but I don't remember him setting homework.
As I understand it, this student achieved a top mark in the exams. It is unfortunate not all their expectations were met. I suggested on several occasions that it would take more time than they had a allotted to both recap the GCSE syllabus and do the A level syllabus. However I am delighted that they managed to still get a very good grade.
I can assure prospective students that I am well aware of the 'new' (now not so new) syllabus.
From Hassan
Edward is a capable educator, knowledgeable & freindly. He certainly makes my son (A-levels student) at ease, thus ready to revieve & digest information. We are very pleased with Edward & highly recommed him to all… Bless him…
From Latha
Edward is a teacher with excellent knowledge in mathematics.His highly effective teaching skills made my son understand maths easily. His confidence levels increased Just after the first few lessons. My son is looking forward to have regular Maths lessons with Edward to achieve his goals
From Sarah
Ed has been a great asset to my daughter in achieving her potential at A Level Maths and Physics. She is a motivated student and understands the work but she has difficulty showing this in exams. Ed identified where she needed help, building her performance skills and her confidence as well as developing her understanding of difficult concepts in both subjects. With Ed’s support she has performed well in her exams and we can’t recommend him highly enough. Many thanks!
From John
Ed was extremely helpful in teaching me IB (International Baccalaureate) higher level maths. I wouldn't have understood many of the topics without going to tutoring sessions. He's very good at breaking down complex topics by visualisation and is happy to try a different explanation if you don't understand at first. Ed also helped my older sister with her A levels and she was very pleased with his tutoring as well. I would really recommend him and if you're struggling make sure to book lessons sooner rather than later.
From Carolyn
From Sophie
Edward has tutored both my daughters for their Maths and further maths A levels. He was extremely knowledgeable not just with regards to the subject but also the course content and exams. Both daughters did extremely well getting A*. They both really enjoyed the lessons and found him approachable and kind.
From Patrick
I have never considered myself good at maths.I was always in the middle set and in the summer of 2015 I achieved a C grade in my GCSE. The following year I re took my GCSE maths and achieved a low B grade, despite my desire to study economics at a top university, I had given up on the prospect of taking an a level maths (required to study at my uni). In the summer of 2017, I decided that I wanted to give the a level maths my best shot and to try and get into my desired course. This is when I found Ed online, I spoke to Ed at his house and from the very start not only did he make me feel relaxed but he also assured me that I had the capability providing I worked hardly. During the year in which I completed my maths A level, Ed impressed me throughout. His ability to apply mathematics to the real life helped me to remain fully engaged whilst also allowing me to have a greater understanding behind the concepts. If ever I was stuck, Ed would always find alternative mathematical approaches to try and allow me to work out the solution. Every lesson was fast moving and challenging yet I looked forward to each and every one. In one year, Ed helped me go from a GCSE retake student to achieving an A grade in the new spec a level maths. If you want results, go for Ed, I have had tutors in the past and I can assure you he really is the best you will find.
From Jack
Ed helped me over a period of about 18 months as I retook my Maths GCSE to improve my grade. I had not formally studied mathematics since 2009 but the tutoring was set at the perfect level of intensity.
There was not a single subject that Ed did not make simple and digestible, making sure everything is covered and all questions are answered. Using different teaching techniques in order to ensure that everything had been absorbed, and you will be able to repeat the exercises in a test environment.
Truly grateful for all of help.
From Ilda
Excellent tutor, very professional. His teaching techniques were exactly what my daughter needed in order to progress on her knowledge and understanding of the subject. Edward made my daughter feel comfortable and more confident after only the first lessons and her results have improved significantly. She enjoyed the meetings a lot. Thank you Edward. I would highly recommend Edward to anyone looking for Mathematic tutor.

From Olivia
My son has seen Edward a couple of times and found him very helpful for A1 maths . He has been able to clarify certain topics for my son so that he is able to work independently with more confidence.
From Abie
Friendly and helpful tutor. Connected well with my child. Was clear in his explanations. My son enjoyed his sessions with Edward (which is the first part of the battle in getting him to study). Not had the GCSE results yet, but in any case Edward definitely increased my son's confidence and understanding of maths.
From Abby
My sons have found Ed's help invaluable. They really enjoy his teaching style and he covers any topics they want to go through, in detail ensuring they understand, before moving on. We're really glad we found him!
From Alice
Edward has been tutoring me in A2 maths for a few months now, and our sessions are going really well. He listens patiently when I explain something I don't understand, and answers my questions clearly and his explanations are always thorough. He tailors lessons to my learning style and is helping stay me on track. I always feel comfortable working with Ed and leave our sessions feeling newly inspired and eager to continue. I believe Ed will do everything he can to help me succeed as he seems to genuinely care about my progress, and my confidence in my own ability has grown accordingly. I would highly recommend him.
From Mary
My son saw Edward for just one session but he was perfect for what was required, explaining things well and in a clear and enthusiastic way.
From Jo
Initially seemed like a very good match. After speaking to Ed on the phone, tutor doesn't travel, as it had indicated on the website… We tried to work it out, but we just couldn't… Such a shame! Very nice guy though :)
From Karen
Very professional. My son is really enjoying his tutor sessions and says it is definitely helping him.
From Gaynor
Was delighted that Ed orchestrated a really productive online lesson for my 15 year old to help with harder physics GCSE problems. Ed responded fantastically to questions, came up with great examples, and kept the pace of the lesson at a perfect pitch.
From Jude
From Mark
Teaching A level maths. Superb, very professional. Has really helped our son.
From Soraya
I contacted Edward to arrange tutoring for my son's Maths GCSE re-sit. My son had two sessions with Edward, which he really enjoyed, and his subsequent results showed a marked improvement. I would not hesitate in recommending Edward as he is very friendly and polite.
From Catherine
Excellent teacher - daughter needed some extra help with C3 and C4 papers at A level. Ed explained the solutions well and she found his advice very useful. I am sure she will be able to get the A grade she needs.
From Amanda
Edward helped my son with some final revision just before his maths gcse. My son found his tuition incredibly helpful. I'd definitely ask for Edward's help again.
From Jacqueline
I cannot praise Edward enough!! He taught my son Louis over several months to prepare him for his GCSE Higher Maths. Not only did he get him to the predicted A - A* result but Louis really enjoyed his lessons. He has a fantastic teaching technique and Louis said that all of the areas where he was having trouble, Edward explained them so clearly and in such an interesting manner that he found it so much easier! He is a very special teacher and when Louis had to leave him he was very sad. Big thanks again Edward!
It was a real pleasure to tutor Louis. He was very interested in the subject and asked excellent questions.
From Os
We chose Ed because of his excellent reviews and were not disappointed. My son (studying AS level) returned from each lesson bursting to practice what he had learnt and eager to work much harder- maths is by far his favourite subject now.
From Alex
My son found Ed's teaching excellent and really helped him with his Further Maths A level. Highly recommended.
From Alison
My son had not been keen when I suggested extra maths tuition in the run up to GCSEs. But he found Ed's help really good and is sure it contributed to his A grade.
From Fiona
Edward successfully tutored my daughter for her Maths AS level after she was asked to leave her college course 2 months before her exam. He restored her confidence in Maths, and she went from a possible fail, to a C grade. I would highly reccomend.
From Jennifer
Edward was very approachable, positive and flexible. We booked a 2 hour lesson, and as my son was making some important breakthroughs Edward continued the lesson until his next pupil arrived. The tuition has been enormously helpful, adding greatly to my son's confidence, and his mock exam following the session produced a much better than expected result. I would recommend Edward to anyone looking for calm, supportive help with Maths.
From Callum
Has been a fantastic mentor for Callum even making Callum want to carry on with Maths at As level when his college have told him to give up.
From June
Edward is enthusiastic about maths and has made me more interested in the subject. He indentifies exactly where I need help and concentrates on this, which saves time. He is helpful but does not do the work for me. Edward has made all the difference and I am now much more confident in the subject
Thank you for your kind comments. I think we've worked together well.
From Judith
Edward has engaged our son in maths topics because he is friendly, approachable and enthusiastic without being formal or overbearing. Edward's friendly approach and easy manner have instilled confidence in us that our son will benefit from his skills.
Thank you Mrs Biddlestone for your kind comments. I look forward to working with your son in the future.
