My name is Brian, I have 14+ years of tutoring Maths at various levels, ranging from Primary KS2 to Degree Level.
I had a successful career as a mathematician writing the software that planned FreeView.
As a hobby I write software that uses Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms to help solve difficult science and engineering optimisation problems. The software can also act as a controller for other types of projects / problems.
After I left that role 11 years ago I became a private maths tutor, teaching Primary, Secondary, A-Level and some Degree-level maths.
I plan lessons around individual's needs, tracking and responding to work appropriately. By the end of Primary School, students have grapsed the neccessary abstract mathematics. I focus on Language and Structural Layout as exam techniques to link mathematical ideas with learning.
Brian has been tutoring my year 6 daughter for the last 5 months in preparation for her SATS, and in that time she has gone from being at a "fail" rate on her mock exams to now being only a few marks off "greater depth". I couldn't recommend Brian enough, we didn't think the improvement made was possible given where we were and my daughter's confidence has grown signifcantly.
We have used Brian twice now, once for my eldest 3 years ago and currently for my youngest who is in YR 10. He is a great tutor, kind and approachable. He is very knowledgeable and always explains anything my youngest isn’t sure of step but step allowing him time to understand it properly. Would 100 percent recommend him

Brian has been a brilliant tutor for our daughter over the course of Year 11 in preparation for her GCSE. His professionalism and passion for Maths together with his patience and encouragement have enabled her to enjoy the subject more and to approach the exams with greater confidence.
Due to Covid my daughter was far behind where she should have been. In a relatively short period of time Brian has filled in her missing knowledge and practiced questions to the point where we are now very confident that she will pass her gcses and pass well. Brian’s coaching and tutoring has made all the difference. I wouldn’t hesitate recommending Brian to anyone one else.
