Maths Tutor in Aberdeen. 14 years of full time tutoring experience. All levels National 5, Highers, Advanced Highers, GCSE, IGCSE, AS, A Levels and lower levels. All £30/h, online or in person. First introductory session is free.

A Master of Mathematics graduate from UEA in Norwich, with a year studying in Melbourne Australia. I have over 14 years experience tutoring with various age groups, abilities and personalities.

Teaching Experience

Since university I have enjoyed tutoring part time and full time for the past 14 years. I was also contracted in by a local college to provide individual and group tutoring sessions to underachieving students, during and after school

I started tutoring GCSE maths in Year 13, providing a very structured learning by my school. The students engaged well and it helped to have people of a similar age that the students could relate to, enabling a more relaxed learning atmosphere. I also informally helped peers of various levels whilst at university, maths students but also engineering and foundation levels. When my services were required in a particular area, then they asked for help on short notice.

Since, I've been tutoring 7 days a week with peak hours ranging in excess of 40hrs of tutoring. I've therefore assessed the likely weaknesses of a student and have already provided and perfected the best methods of explanation

Tutoring Approach

Can look at casual tutoring of areas of difficulty, or can do more structured learning of a curriculum, either intense learning or weekly troubleshooting. I've established good quality material for any level. Plenty of students just require good material and direction for their efforts.

The first meeting will be free with the aim of getting to know one another and the strengths and weaknesses of the tutee, and at what pace the student requires. At which point a structured plan of action can be drawn up. In some cases the tutee may lack the confidence in areas, but can in fact do what's required. Even a casual troubleshooting session every now and then can set their worries at rest.

My daughter finds him very helpful, explains it in a way she understands and recognises when she can’t focus on the task, moves to another one and returns to the original one when she can refocus

Great tutor and my daughter gets on well with him and understands his teaching style

It was great having Daniel teach my son. It really improved his grades.

First Tutors

Daniel is a really great communicator, who understands our daughter's needs and communicates in a way that builds confidence and ability. Highly recommend.

First Tutors

Passionate about maths! Just not suited to my learning style, but definitely might be for others:)

Tutor response

Good luck with the exams! Those last minute enquiries before an exam are always hit and miss, when going into it blind to your strengths and weaknesses, it'd take too long to go through all the subject areas in time.
