Oscar

Hey there, my name is Oscar - I am a friendly 25 year old, 1st class maths graduate, from Exeter University - working full time as a self-employed Private Maths tutor.

I have been tutoring since 2022, and hosted 3000+ hours of 1:1 KS3/GCSE/iGCSE/AS level/A level sessions for which i have only ever had 5* reviews.

I provide a tailored and thorough tuition service, which has consistently led to boosted grades and student success.

I genuinely enjoy teaching maths, but of course, I have interests outside of maths too.

Im a keen Triathlete and love having an event to train for and work towards (Ironman or 70.3). I particularly enjoy road cycling, and the occasional 5 or 10K road running race. I like to spend summers traveling on my bike, exploring and seeing the world.

Teaching Experience

4 Years - Private Mathematics Tutor - 3000+ Hours -I have taught over 100 students of all abilities and levels, from KS3 to A level. My reviews have only ever been 5*, which Is testament to the quality of tutoring i consistently provide.

2 Years Volunteering - CoachBright - a social mobility charity on a mission to support young people from disadvantaged backgrounds to become confident, independent and resilient.

I helped 12 GCSE students through Coachbright, providing weekly 1:1 sessions.

1 year Voluntary - Peer Assisted Learning (PAL) - During my final year at Exeter University, I hosted PAL sessions with up to 15 first / second year students - to help teach content from modules i had achieved highly in.

Tutoring Approach

Sessions are relaxed and fun - Im young, friendly and very experienced at 1:1 tuition and helping students feel at ease.

I always like to get to know each student first, ask about their interests and tell them a little about me.

For the sessions I use a range of techniques to teach topics, tailored to individual students needs (Visual diagrams, real world examples, interactive whiteboards). This allows both the Online and In-Person sessions to be extremely effective - I often relate questions back to topics of particular interest to each student, to help with memorisation and engagement.

Personally - I have only ever achieved the highest grade in all levels of mathematics I have completed. A large part of the credit for that goes to my ability to utilise great exam technique and my understanding of exam board mark scheme nuances. Knowledge and tips for which i share in sessions to help my students to excel.

Oscar has been amazing with supporting our daughter on her maths journey. He has got to know her and understands how best to support. We are extremely happy with his approach and look forward to the strides our daughter will make.

StephanieFirst Tutors

Oscar is an excellent tutor. He has helped me build confidence and also improved on key topics in math. He encourages me to aim higher in math and he easily explains problems and questions that I found difficult. Some weeks we go over past papers or choose a specific topic to review, this fits well my learning style as I can see how I have improved.

AnnaFirst Tutors

Oscar is a great maths tutor. He explains things clearly and is very patient. We are happy with our daughter's progress.

FinFirst Tutors

Oscar has been great at communication and quickly responds to queries. My had his first session yesterday and is very happy with Oscar’s knowledge, teaching style and confidence.

LaurenceFirst Tutors

I highly recommend Oscar! He has helped our daughter over the Summer to maintain (and improve!) her maths level. She really enjoyed the lesson and had great tips from Oscar on how to best perform on the topics they covered together.

MollyFirst Tutors

My daughter and I are delighted to have found Oscar to support her through A-level maths. He is really friendly and approachable, and teaches in a very engaging way. My daughter comes out every week feeling really good about her maths and that she understands the areas she was finding tough. He is super knowledgeable. Communication is great - Oscar messages each week to find out what my daughter would like to work on so he can prepare. He helps her to consolidate and expand on what she’s covered in school meaning she feels really confident with the material. I would 100% recommend Oscar, he is brilliant!

JemFirst Tutors

We were looking for assistance for our Son as he approached his GCSEs and was finding Maths especially challenging. We contacted Oscar via First Tutors and he provided seamless, patient on-line support during the weeks prior to (and during) the exams. Our Son succeeded in achieving a passing grade and we are in no doubt that a significant contribution to this was the help and advice that Oscar provided. We highly recommend him to anyone in a similar position.

VictoriaFirst Tutors

Finding Oscar has been a godsend. We found him just before the Easter of my son's GCSE's & he managed to crack so many tricky mathematical areas & give my child confidence to hopefully achieve a higher grade than if we hadn't of found him. Oscar knows his stuff & is an excellent teacher, giving clear explanations & always having everything available to practice with him. He knows the exam board & how to tackle questions & after each exam my son came home saying, "I knew exactly how to answer 'x' as Oscar had thankfully taught me!" Fingers crossed his results will reflect the tutoring. We're now hoping Oscar can work his magic & help support him throughout maths A'level. I wouldn't hesitate in recommending Oscar. You'll have no regrets.

alisonFirst Tutors

Oscar has tutored my son for several months in the run up to his GCSEs.Oscar is personable and understanding and has been particularly helpful at focusing on areas of Maths that our son was less confident in.Our son feels he can say if he doesn't understand something and Oscar will work through the problem with him in a well structured way without over complicating it.Oscar has a clear presentation style with screen sharing that is easy to view. From my own view point Oscar also responds very promptly to any texts. Tuition with Oscar has been a good experience and he is going into his Maths GCSE exam with allt more confidence.

JennyFirst Tutors

I’ve had Oscar as a tutor for 4 weeks now and his help has been extremely useful. He explains topics in very simple but detailed ways, and I find the way he teaches on the iPad to be very easy to understand. A lot gets done in the hour sessions, so I can feel myself improving quickly and I feel comfortable asking questions which I may have been too embarrassed to ask in class at school.

AliceFirst Tutors

Oscar has been tutoring my daughter who is in year 10 for the last two months and it has already made a huge difference. My daughter has a statistics GCSE to sit in June and has been finding it difficult to keep up in school but having the one to one support is making all the difference. Oscar takes her through the tasks and helps her to keep focused in a way that's really helping her to build confidence. The material is really challenging but Oscar's knowledge is fantastic and he is very calm, friendly and approachable.

PaulFirst Tutors

Oscar is currently supporting my daughter with her maths GCSE. He is extremely conscientious and approachable in his style. He understands how maths is taught today in schools, allowing him to manage his tutoring of the subject in the the best possible manner. He takes his time to understand the level of the student and apply the appropriate strategies to develop their capabilities so as to be prepared for the exams.

MorvenFirst Tutors

Oscar is tutoring our Year 11 daughter to prepare for her IGCSE Maths exam. After only a couple of sessions, she is more confident and better able to tackle past papers. She responds well to Oscar and we can see progress. Oscar has the right combination of maths expertise, combined with an approachable, friendly teaching style.

FrancescaFirst Tutors

Oscar is a very reliable tutor. He is always on time and is friendly and polite. My son has improved so much in just a few sessions. Oscar really inspires his students and sets appropriate and challenging work. My son looks forward to his lessons with Oscar and is so much more confident, he feels he is on track to get a 9- an increase of 2 grades!

EvanFirst Tutors

Excellent tutor currently working with my daughter in GCSE year. Engaging and positive with great communication and goes the extra mile with requests for homework. Come highly recommended!

PaulFirst Tutors

Oscar worked with us to prepare for GCSE Maths. He was very centred around the areas my daughter wanted to focus on, the lessons were very interactive with excellent use of technology to support that, and Oscar was very approachable which meant my daughter could easily ask if something didn’t make sense. Oscar was very flexible about times and always organised.

TanyaFirst Tutors

My son has found lessons with Oscar very helpful . He’s been able to improve in the areas he was weak in

DeborahFirst Tutors

Oscar had been tutoring my reluctant 15 year old daughter in maths since the start of this year. He has managed to keep her engaged and we have already seen an improvement in her results and confidence in maths. Oscar is prompt in his replies and setting up the lessons and paying for them has been very smooth. I would not hesitate to recommend Oscar to any parent looking to improve their child's GCSE maths performance.

KatherineFirst Tutors

We are extremely impressed with how Oscar is helping our son transition to a new school. Thank you very much.

louiseFirst Tutors

Oscar is proving to be an invaluable tutor to my twin boys as they work towards their Maths gcse. Within a short space of time their confidence in Maths has grown through Oscar’s ability to explain the most complicated maths in a simplistic and memorable way. He is punctual and polite and has quickly built a strong rapport with both boys.

SianFirst Tutors

My son has just started tutoring sessions with Oscar for A- level maths. He is really pleased with how it is going so far. It’s been really useful and Oscars teaching has been excellent.

RachelFirst Tutors

A genuinely enthusiastic tutor. Oscar’s communication with myself and my son has been excellent. Asking questions to find out specific topics to work on to ensure his lessons are targeting the right areas. From the very first lesson Oscar has made my son feel welcome, he is patient and understanding and his positive approach has put my son instantly at ease. Oscar’s lessons are never a chore! I would definitely recommend Oscar as a tutor!

CathyFirst Tutors

We have been very impressed with Oscar, my son has really engaged in his style of teaching and has gained so much from the sessions. Oscar prepares each session to what my son wants and gives good, clear feedback. We are very happy with the progress our son is making and how positively he engages and enjoys the weekly sessions with Oscar.

JohnFirst Tutors

Oscar is tutoring our grandson in gcse maths. We are delighted with progress. Oscar has identified weaknesses and strenghts and is systematically addressing these. He has a great rapport with his student who tells us he really enjoys the weekly sessions.

RosiFirst Tutors

Oscar is a fantastic tutor, he is young, relaxed and very bright and he takes his tutoring very seriously. He is always keen to prepare well for the lesson, and he also sends notes post-lesson if he thinks of any extra points to add, or wants to send any handwritten notes on a paper. He is kind and professional, a great communicator and I would highly recommend him.

MatthewFirst Tutors

Oscar was extremely helpful during the session explaining something I initially found so complex in a way that was very manageable and understandable! He also created some easy to understand notes in addition to some questions with his own worked examples in preparation for our session which he then emailed me to keep as revision notes. Would definitely recommend!
