Teaching Experience

I run StudyDex, offering access to past papers, revision notes and tuition, with a unique progress tracker tailored to each specification, allowing students to track their progress..

I have tutored students from a number of schools in the South East, such as St. Olave's, Newstead, Townley, Beths, Bexley Grammar, Bullers Wood, Eltham College and Sevenoaks, as well as many more across the UK.

I also tutor many Chinese students attending various boarding schools across the UK.

I have experience with all major UK exam boards and can provide my students with relevant study materials.

Tutoring Approach

Every student is different and my teaching style is adapted to their individual needs once we have identified their weaknesses..

I believe understanding is the best approach to learning and teaching. There's no point in just memorising things if you don't understand where they came from. I explain things in such a way that it is easy to understand, and I am very patient.

However, I cannot perform miracles. Students aiming for top grades would be expected to do some homework in between sessions.

I also offer a lot of flexibility. If the student has learnt something in school they didn't quite understand, I can go over the topic again with them during our lesson. If the student understood everything in school, I can teach them new topics to prepare them for when they learn that topic in school. Lastly, near exam times, I can offer intense exam revision and exam paper practice.

You will not be disappointed!

Dr Henry is a wonderful tutor, very patient, always punctual as well as extremely knowledgeable and thorough in his delivery of A Level Maths. Please be mindful as his services are an upward investment for your children. I highly recommend him and he engages both the parents along on the journey. He goes the extra mile and I don’t regret choosing him to be a part of a milestone in my daughter’s educational journey. Thx u once again

Henry has been providing one on one A level Maths tutoring to our son for the last 8 months. Henry is very knowledgeable and thoughtful and takes time to explain all areas of Math. He is always punctual and very well prepared for sessions and provides additional work for our son to focus and practice on weaker areas between sessions. Henry has a great personality and is able to explain complex issues in multiple ways to ensure our son fully understands. Our sons confidence in tackg more complex questions has definitely improved. We would thoroughly recommend Henry as a tutor.

Henry is currently teaching my older son A-level Maths, Chemistry and Biology. He is also tutoring my second son in Further Maths and Physics at GCSE-level. Henry’s teaching skill is second to none and he gets straight to the content. He has covered content from the textbook in a very short time whereas most tutors seem to take months to get to the same stage. He makes sure not only to teach the content from the study text but to follow it up with questions to practice so a firm understanding is obtained. I have had so many tutors in the past, both highly qualified and secondary school **Contact Detail Removed**, but no one as reliable, punctual, honest, good at communicating/providing feedback and polite. He has had a positive impact on our boys’ education. I wish him the very best.
