Why me?

Hi, I'm Tom.

I want to be clear I'm not a professional teacher, but I'm a high-achieving GCSE student who's just sat the exam myself, so I know exactly what younger students get stuck on, and am able to explain it without overcomplicating it.

  • Grade 9 (96%) in GCSE Maths this year, sat early in Year 10
  • One-to-one lessons, planned around where your child is at
  • Face to face, always: because a tutor physically in the room makes for the best lessons

How I teach

Every session follows the same structure. Identify strengths and weaknesses, turn weaknesses into strengths, then confirm it with recaps and summary.

Lesson Structure

Sessions run for one hour, split into four parts:

  • 5 min — recap of previous topics
  • 40 min — teaching & practice on current topics
  • 10 min — diagnostic to identify strengths & weaknesses
  • 5 min — summary, consolidating current topics

1The Progress Sheet

Parents and students get a copy of a progress sheet that tracks every topic across the maths GCSE specification. Each topic sits in one of five stages:

  • Gaps — not yet covered or tested
  • Weak — content we definitely need to cover
  • Okay — solid at medium confidence
  • Proficient — confident, solves most problems
  • Mastered — complete understanding, exam-ready
Overview of the progress sheet

2Custom Papers

For your child, I've designed nine custom papers covering every topic on the specification, alongside Corbett Maths practice papers. The progress sheet gets updated after every session so they know exactly where they're at.

These papers are printed to ensure all questions are accessible (like graph ones)

These are meant to be low stakes, low stress papers just used to identify strengths and weaknesses

3Topic-Specific Worksheets

Physics & Maths Tutor AND Maths Genie (mind blowing when I figured they had this stuff) supply topic-specific worksheets I use alongside the main teaching. It is an incredible, deep well of worksheets for testing knowledge.

These, the school textbook, my laptop and a notebook are the main things I use every lesson.
