Patient, one-to-one maths support.

Friendly, one-to-one support for younger learners, from the very first numbers in Key Stage 1 through to the algebra of Key Stage 3.

I help primary and early secondary children build confidence and fill gaps before they grow into bigger problems. We cover the whole of KS1, KS2 and KS3, from counting, times tables and fractions to the early algebra that catches so many out, always at a gentle, encouraging pace. Strong foundations now make GCSE far less daunting later.

What's included

• KS1, KS2 and KS3 (ages 5 to 14)
• Times tables, fractions and place value
• Early algebra and problem solving
• Year 6 SATs support
• Confidence built from the start
• Strong foundations for GCSE

I keep lessons practical and down to earth, with plenty of real examples, so it makes sense and sticks. Whether you are doing this for work, study or an apprenticeship, I will help you pass with confidence.

Coming back to maths after a long time away? I will meet you exactly where you are, with no pressure and no judgement, and help you feel capable again.

Lots of adults need maths later in life, for a career change, a course, helping their children, or simply to close a gap that has bothered them for years. It can feel daunting, but it does not have to. I specialise in supporting adult learners with patience and warmth, starting from what you already know and building up gently. Most people are surprised by how quickly it starts to come back.

What's included

• A relaxed, supportive, judgement-free pace
• Starts from what you already know
• Maths for work, study or everyday confidence
• GCSE or Functional Skills routes explained simply
• Flexible lesson times around work and family
• A genuine focus on rebuilding your confidence

If maths did not go to plan last time, a fresh and supportive approach can change everything. We focus on the exact gaps that held you back and turn them into strengths.

Resitting maths can feel discouraging, especially after more than one attempt. The good news is that a resit is rarely about ability, it is usually about a handful of topics that never quite clicked, plus a bit of exam nerves. I help you pinpoint those gaps, fix them properly, and rebuild your confidence so your next attempt feels very different.

What's included

• GCSE and Functional Skills resit preparation
• A clear diagnosis of what went wrong last time
• Targeted work on your specific weak spots
• Plenty of past paper and exam-style practice
• Practical strategies to handle exam nerves
• A calmer, better-prepared second attempt

Focused exam preparation that gets you ready in the time you have, so you walk in feeling calm and prepared rather than worried.

In the run-up to an exam, the right preparation makes a huge difference. We work through past papers together, sharpen your exam technique and timing, and practise the kinds of questions that catch people out. I also share simple, practical ways to manage nerves on the day, so you can show what you actually know.

What's included

• Structured revision around your exam date
• Past paper practice with feedback
• Exam technique, timing and question spotting
• Help with the topics most likely to come up
• Practical strategies to manage exam nerves
• A clear plan for the final weeks before the exam
