Tutor Profile

Simon

Private English and Maths Tutor in London

I teach English and maths, not just for exams, but for life. Whether it’s KS3, GCSE, resits, or 11+ preparation, I help students build confidence, sharpen skills, and see the bigger picture.

My students often tell me they like that I “talk like a real person’” That’s because I am - one with a life outside the classroom and a passion for helping young people thrive within it.

Teaching Experience

Before becoming a full-time tutor in 2020, I spent 25 years managing multi-million pound accounts in top London agencies. Originally trained in theatre, I being creativity, clarity and a fresh perspective to every lesson.

Since then I’ve gone on to work with over 50 students. At GCSE level, 80% of my students have achieved 1 or 2 grades higher than they were predicted.

I also volunteer with a charity supporting disadvantaged children. I believe every child should be able to benefit from one-to-one tuition. I was very proud to have been named the charity’s Volunteer Tutor of the Year for my engaging lesson content and approach.

Tutoring Approach

I teach with the aim of making knowledge intrinsic. I see English & maths as more important than just subjects to be learnt for an exam and then promptly forgotten.

I put topics in context with an approach that is informal. I encourage conversation and never underestimate the importance of laughter during lessons.

Lessons are structured, but the pace adapts to suit each student, giving every lesson an individual approach in a recognisable format.
