My name is Lewis and I am a fully qualified maths teacher. I am passionate about boosting students' confidence and instilling an enjoyment of maths, enabling students to excel in this important subject.
Tutor Profile
Teaching Experience
I taught for 7 years as at an outstanding secondary school. During this time I taught students from year 7 to year 13 and I taught students with a range of abilities including top set students and students who were resitting their GCSE's. I have also taught students with a range of Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND).
I now teach students 1:1, mostly online (KS2 upwards), through private tutoring, as well as tutoring for AimforA, a tutoring company that provides booster tutoring for students over the school holidays.
I was on firsttutors for years and had lots of positive reviews on there but sadly they closed down with no notice and I lost all of these. I am therefore offering the first lesson for free as you have no reviews to check out.
Tutoring Approach
Having a genuine enjoyment of maths and using mathematical concepts at degree level enables me to teach students in a way that gives them a deep understanding of maths as opposed to a surface level understanding. This makes them more likely to remember, and be able to apply this knowledge to a range of situations to solve problems both in school and beyond this.
I am patient and considerate of the fact that some students find maths anxiety provoking and have a track history of supporting students to feel more confident about maths. I use technology to ensure that the online aspect of tutoring is not a barrier. Sharing my iPad screen enables me to write on the screen like you would a piece of paper in front of them, students can also write on this.

I would like to personally thank Lewis for his excellent help and support with tutoring my daughter. She went from a grade 2 in her GCSE mock exam, to a grade 6 in her final GCSE exam. We allowed her to look through the tutors and her choice was to go with Lewis. He’s extremely approachable, patient and deeply knowledgable. He turned her from a child afraid of maths to actually looking forward to her lessons. Her time with Lewis was well spent and pushed her into passing her final exam. I wish that we had found Lewis years ago. If your child is in anyway struggling I would definitely recommend this amazing tutor. Once again - thank you very very much Lewis!

Lewis is an exceptional maths tutor who makes learning both engaging and enjoyable. His ability to explain complex concepts in a simple and clear manner has made a huge difference in my daughter's confidence and understanding of maths. One of the things that sets Lewis apart is his effective use of technology. His online lessons are just as impactful as in-person sessions because he is highly competent and knows how to make the most of digital tools/resources. He tailors each lesson to suit the student's needs, ensuring they get the support they require. Lewis is also incredibly approachable, creating a comfortable environment where students feel confident asking questions. After every session, my daughter is always happy and excited because she finally understands how to work through problems in the best possible way. I highly recommend Lewis to anyone looking for a knowledgeable, patient, and engaging maths tutor! Thank you Lewis

My daughter is doing GCSE this year, we are so pleased that we found Lewis. We have online lessons with him, he’s very experienced in teaching maths, and very patient. My daughter improved so much in a short period of time. We’d highly recommend him to anyone.

Lewis is friendly and very approachable, particularly for our 12 year old Son. Lewis is very good at adapting his explanations and examples to things which kids understand and can visualise, reinforcing knowledge as it's learnt. I will strongly recommend Lewis for Maths tutoring. His help with our Son's maths was exceptional and yielded excellent test results which we would not have expected prior to his tuition.

My Son was in need of a Maths tutor for year 11 and his GCSE exams . Lewis helped him with online lessons weekly and it made such a huge difference in Frankies approach to learning. My son Frankie went from failing and not been engaged to understanding what he was learning and passing his exams. Such a good investment and I would recommend Lewis as a maths tutor any day
