About James

I'm a qualified Actuary and a fully qualified teacher, holding Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) from a PGCE in Secondary Mathematics. I graduated with a 2:1 in Mathematics and Economics from the University of Nottingham, and I've been tutoring maths since my own school years.

I bring together two things that don't often come as a pair: formal training in how to teach, and a career built on rigorous, high-level mathematics. That means I know how to explain a concept clearly and adjust to how each student learns best, while also genuinely understanding the maths inside and out, not just how to get through an exam.

I tutor students from GCSE through to A-Level in Maths and Further Maths, and I'm equally comfortable helping a student close a grade gap or pushing a strong student further. Every lesson is planned around what that particular student needs, not a fixed script.

About the lesson

I focus on building real understanding, not just training to answer exam questions. That usually means:

Starting each topic by checking for gaps in the basics, most struggles with new material trace back to a gap in knowledge from pre-requisite topics.
Working through problems together first, then handing over to the student for independent practice once they're ready
Using past papers and exam-style questions regularly, with real focus on exam technique, how to structure answers, spot what a question's actually asking, and avoid the mistakes that cost easy marks

Lessons are 60 minutes. I find that's the sweet spot, enough time to properly get into a topic without losing focus, whatever the level.
