James

Online Maths and Physics Tutor

I am a Pure mathematics PhD researcher at Lancaster University.

In summer 2020, I was awarded a first class honours degree (Masters) in Mathematics at the University of Southampton. Over the last two years, I have taught first/second year undergraduates in different settings, as well as a cohort of private GCSE/A-level students. As a result, I am confident in explaining mathematics to many different levels.

I am currently offering online tuition, for GCSE and A-level mathematics.

Tutoring Approach

As a student I was very lucky; I had several brilliant mathematics teachers, so my goal as a tutor is to apply their best qualities.

An effective tutor is very aware of their place in the student’s education – if our lessons are supplementing a course, we'll leave no stone unturned in the material! If our goal is exam preparation, my aim is to waste no time identifying what my student needs to work on, and what they don't.

Another goal is to ensure the student isn’t left confused or overwhelmed with too much new information. Ultimately, they should be able to revisit topics confidently (instead of losing their understanding the week after).

I'm always on hand for issues in between our lessons!
