Geoff has been teaching A Level Maths and Further maths since 2006 in a high achieving school. For most of that time he was the department lead on Further Maths and MAT/STEP preparation. He has taught all areas of the curriculum and is particularly expert in Pure and Mechanics. Until recently he was the Head of Maths but has now taken phased retirement to allow himself more time for other interests and for tutoring. He is now a part time Head of Maths at a smaller independent school.
Geoff’s extensive teaching experience at all levels of ability helps him adapt his teaching to the pupil’s needs and find ways of explaining concepts and techniques that are accessible to the pupils. His main goal is to develop confidence and self-belief in his pupils as well as developing their problem-solving skills. He has extensive experience of teaching Further Maths and helping many pupils achieve top grades in both Maths and Further Maths. He is also adept at helping less confident pupils boost their attainment and enable them to aim higher.
As a long standing A Level examiner Geoff has gained extensive experience in the application of mark schemes and how marks may be lost. This has been invaluable in informing his teaching by helping pupils watch for pitfalls and avoiding common mistakes. Geoff has a successful track record of tutoring at all levels from Foundation GCSE to A Level FM and STEP/MAT. He has a calm and approachable style and enjoys working with pupils and helping them to success.

Starting this September, we are excited to launch two 1-hour live, interactive lessons every week on separate evenings (exact evenings to be confirmed). These lessons are designed to help students recap the entire course content, stay ahead in their studies, and prepare effectively for assessments.
More information coming soon...
Geoff tutored my daughter during the last 6 months of her A levels for Maths. He really helped build her confidence and her exam technique reinforcing what she was learning at school. She really enjoyed the sessions and has gone on to study Natural Sciences at University.
A breath of fresh air. Our daughter has struggled with maths throughout her school journey. Geoff has given some excellent 1 to 1 extra tuition each week throughout Y11 leading up to GCSE'S. The difference in her approach and confidence was remarkable. She is now engaged not resistant entering her exams with a degree of confidence, not dread! Geoff exceeded our expectations significantly. We can't thank him enough.
My son has really benefitted from his tutoring sessions with Geoff.Going into his second year of A level maths,he felt he needed times to consolidate and reflect on the previous weeks work or a pre teach into the next.Geoff was very helpful in supporting him and boosted his self confidence and belief in his abilities no end.I highly recommend Geoff as a tutor who was always patient, highly skilled and organised.My son looked forward to the sessions and they carried him into the next weeks lessons.Thankyou Geoff you have been great!J&F!
My daughter went to Geoff for help keeping her grades for Maths A-Level. Although good at Maths and having good grades, she knew it would just get harder and harder and she wanted to keep up with it and do even better. She came out after her first session with a big smile and was so happy. Geoff is a lovely man, extremely patient and his way of teaching excellent. My daughter immediately felt more confident in her ability and really enjoyed going to her tuition with him and his teaching made her actually really enjoy the subject. Thank you Geoff. I have put the date as a guess of last session as she was with him for a few months. I would recommend Geoff to anyone, having also had other tutors.
Our son has been working with Geoff on GCSE maths for over a year now. Not only has his confidence grown, he's now considering A levels maths! Geoff has really challenged our son and his improvement has been significant. Not only that, maths is now considered to be "fun." Now that's a great result!
