Experienced Maths tutor
Hi, I’m a Master’s graduate in Biomedical Science from the University of Glasgow, and I’m passionate about helping students achieve their academic goals in a way that’s both fun and effective.Growing up, I found school challenging—balancing coursework with extracurricular activities made it difficult to maintain high grades. However, once I reached university, I developed better study strategies that helped me excel and achieve top marks. This experience has shaped my approach to tutoring: I focus on understanding concepts, not just memorizing theory. I believe that when students grasp the why b...

David J
Experienced Maths Tutor
When it comes to History, I have always loved the subject, leading me to secure my place at the University of Leeds and to follow through my degree and gain a 2:1. While doing so, I had a fantastic time living in Leeds, which is why I came back to live here. My focus was on the British Empire, but having studied History all the way through school and university, my experience with the subject is very broad. For example I studied Britain from 1880-1980 and Nazi Germany at A Level, and American foreign policy and race relations and the Russian Revolution at GCSE. History is one of the most important...

My teaching style is relating stuff to real life so students can easily remember concepts next time. Also, repetition is so paramount when it comes to Maths as practise is the only way you can secure any knowledge.Whatever the topic you are struggling with I have got different ways of explaining it till we get to the point where you actually understand everything.

Gwen W
I’ve had a really positive experience with Gwen. She’s incredibly helpful and explains things in a way that actually makes sense, no matter how tricky the topic is. What really stands out is her patience, she never rushes and always takes the time to make sure I fully understand before moving on.
She’s also very nurturing and supportive, which has made a big difference to my confidence. I never feel judged for getting something wrong. Instead, she turns it into a learning opportunity and encourages me to keep going. Her uplifting attitude makes lessons something I genuinely look forward to.
On top of that, Gwen is just a genuinely kind and thoughtful person who creates a really comfortable learning environment. I always leave sessions feeling more confident and positive about my abilities.
I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor who not only helps you improve academically but also supports you as a person.

Mujtaba is an excellent tutor. As an A-level maths student, i’ve found his explanations clear and effective when breaking down difficult topics into manageable steps. He takes his time before the lesson to plan ahead depending on what i wanted to go through. I would highly recommend to anyone studying A-level maths.

Alexandra E
Alex has been a great maths tutor for my daughter in preparing for the AQA Level 2 Certificate in Further Maths.
She knows the subject brilliantly, and if there's ever a question that she can't work out during the lesson she goes the extra mile to get back to us with an answer after the lesson. More often than not it's just down to a misprint in a textbook!
She's also very punctual and organised, and sends resources and homework to make the most of the time we have in lessons.
Overall, she's a pleasure to work with, and very highly recommended.
