I had Steve as my tutor and he was amazing! Whenever we were on a specific topic, he’d always mention some tips and tricks approaching common questions and general tips for maths. He was very clear with his explanations, always stating why it’s this and not that. With his help, I maintained my target grade which was what I needed for uni. Very lucky to have been taught be Steve and I would highly recommend!

My son worked with Steve after getting a disappointing result in his maths A level last year. Steve was kind and patient, as my son had had a real knock to his confidence, and he built him up again over the year. He rediscovered that love of math he used to have. After a year of working with Steve 1to1 for one hour per week, he just received his A level result and he has jumped by 3 grades, from a D to an A! He has secured a place in his first choice university. We are so pleased and very grateful to Steve - highly recommended!

Steve was an outstanding tutor throughout my Year 13 A-Level Maths journey. He has a real gift for breaking down difficult concepts into manageable topics, which made a huge difference to my confidence going into exams. He didn't just teach the theory; we worked through exam-style questions together so I knew exactly how to approach A-Level papers and, crucially, how to pick up marks on the higher-mark questions, which made a real difference to my overall grade.
We used the Miro board system, which worked really well and meant that Steve could follow my working in real time and immediately spot and correct any mistakes, which sped up my learning a lot.
Thanks to his teaching, I secured the A I needed and got into my first-choice university. I'd highly recommend Steve to anyone looking for a tutor who genuinely knows how to help students improve.

I had Steve Raine as my maths tutor during the build up to A-levels. I had a very positive experience overall, he helped me target specific topics as well as broader understanding, even though we didn't have as much time before exams as he usually works with. I went from a disappointing C grade in my most recent mocks to 2 marks off an A* in my A-level exams. I'm very grateful for Steve's help, would definitely recommend.

I would massively recommend The A level Maths Tutor, especially Steve! My sessions with Steve were always so structured, allowing him to identify and work on my weaker areas, whilst still regularly practising and strengthening everything in between. I had access to so many practice materials in and out of our sessions, and in the end managed a to boost my grades up 2 almost 3 grades!
