Tutor Profile

Stephen

20 years of experience tutoring Maths for confidence and success

I am a GCSE and A-Level maths specialist with 20 years’ experience helping students achieve top grades and reach their potential. I have taught hundreds of students, from school entrance candidates to A-Level learners aiming for first-choice university places. One of my students achieved an A grade at A-Level at just 10 years old.

I hold a Maths degree from Warwick University and was part of the team that set up one of the UK’s first online maths tutoring platforms, giving me extensive experience delivering highly effective online tuition. I also draw on my counselling training to support students who struggle with confidence or exam nerves, helping them stay focused and motivated.

Based in the Sussex countryside, I enjoy gardening, camping, and the outdoors.

Teaching Experience

I began my teaching career in an Independent Secondary School in Brighton, delivering the GCSE course, and now focus exclusively on 1-to-1 tuition to maximise each student’s progress.

I have successfully supported students from school entrance exams to GCSE, A-Level, and IB, helping them achieve top grades and secure entry to their first-choice colleges and universities.

With extensive experience teaching online, I specialise in delivering highly effective lessons using the Learncube platform, combining interactive tools with exam-focused strategies to ensure students succeed.

Tutoring Approach

My aim is to create an encouraging learning environment where students can build confidence and achieve their best results.

In the first lesson, I assess the student’s current level, identify key focus areas, and agree on an individual plan tailored to their goals. Lessons are structured to target weaknesses while challenging students appropriately, helping them gain both skill and confidence.

A parent recently wrote: “Steve is a fantastic tutor. He has helped our son not only with exam preparation but also with building confidence in maths. Our son enjoyed his sessions so much — he said he was really going to miss them, which I never thought I’d hear him say about maths. Thank you for everything Steve!”

I offer tuition online, which is highly effective, or at your home within 10 miles (additional travel costs may apply).

JasminaFirst Tutors

I highly recommend Steve! He is a fantastic and highly experienced maths tutor. Since my son started his tutoring sessions with Steve, his understanding of Year 10 maths has improved significantly, and he has improved his grade. Steve's teaching style is engaging and effective and my son is very happy with the progress he is making.

Tutor response

Thankyou Jasmina, I am enjoying working with your son and is satisfying to see him improve with confidence and ability!

Steve is fantastic at engaging students with fun methods of learning. My son looks forward to every session and, although a new appointment, I know Steve will enhance and further learning from school.

Tutor response

Thank you Emma, I have also enjoyed the lessons with your son and look forward to helping him to achieve his potential!

NicolaFirst Tutors

My son's school teacher advised that my son's understanding of Further Maths has increased immensely since being tutored by Steve. And he is on target to achieve an A grade this year which should get him into his first university choice. My son has found Steve very helpful and easy to follow and we have no hesitation in recommending his services. Thank you.

AndreaFirst Tutors

So far, both my children, studying GCSEs have engaged in lessons and find Steve explains math problems easily so they can understand.

Tutor response

Thankyou, good to hear that it is going well!

CharlotteFirst Tutors

Steve is a fantastic tutor. He has really helped our son with his GCSE maths. Steve not only helped him with the areas he was struggling with, and with exam preparation, he also helped build our son's confidence in maths and encouraged him to believe in himself. Our son enjoyed his sessions with Steve so much, he said he was really going to miss them - something I didnt think i would ever hear him say about maths. Thank you for everything Steve!

Tutor response

Thankyou Charlotte for your feedback. I really enjoyed the sessions too, glad they were so well received!
