COVID-19 UPDATE:
I am now tutoring online full time and am therefore able to tutor regardless of geographic location. My software allows real time whiteboard collaboration, along with audio and/or video calls, allows clients to upload their assignments and annotate them, and students and parents have access to notes and a video fo every session. Please get in touch for details.

I am a full time Maths and Economics Tutor with 7 years of full time experience. My results are second to none, and I am proud of my each and every one of my testimonials from my clients.

Although based in Southampton, I now tutor online, which is a fantastic tool that allows learning to take place in a venue that is most comfortable to you, as well as allowing me to reach clients in cities such as London, that I would normally not be able to travel to.

I have a 1st class degree in Economics, a subject requiring heavy mathematical application. If you are interested in my grades, I got 6 A*'s, 6 A's at GCSE. This included an A* in Mathematics and an A in Further Mathematics (the highest grade). At A-level, I got an A* in Mathematics with Statistics (scoring above 90% in all of my modules), and A's in Economics and Chemistry. During my GCSE years, I got to the regional final of an economics competition called 'Student Investor' and was a part of my school mathematics team that won the Southampton Deloitte Interschool Maths Challenge. I attended King Edward VI school in Southampton throughout my school and college years, and was awarded 4 different scholarships during my time there, including one for Science, as well as achieving the school's Latin award for two consecutive years.

Outside of tutoring, I love staying active. My main hobbies are football, golf and going to the gym. I have played for Winchester City FC and AFC Totton. I'm also an avid follower of Southampton Football Club. I used to participate in athletics, specifically middle distance and cross country and qualified for the Hampshire schools cross country as a result of this. I was also a part of my school and college's football, cricket and tennis teams. I also love watching movies and playing video games.

Tutoring Experience

I have tutored well over 120 people on a full time basis for over 7 years. As you can see below, I have received 100% positive feedback from tutees I have met through FirstTutors.

Tutoring Approach

I really believe a friendly atmosphere is they key in tutoring, and I can promise this. I feel that my age and background in sport means that I can relate to anyone I tutor. From personal experience, I know I strived harder for teachers that believed in me and showed a genuine love of their subject. All I expect from tutees is that they try 100% and show a genuine willingness to learn, as you can't ask for more than that. Whether it's trying to obtain those all important exam results, or just to improve your knowledge of the subject, know I can help you achieve your goals.
