About Me

Hi there! I’m an experienced maths tutor dedicated to helping students in Bedford and beyond unlock their full mathematical potential.

As a dedicated maths tutor based in Bedford, I bring over 15 years of experience tutoring and teaching mathematics at a well-regarded school in Bedfordshire. My expertise spans a wide range of levels, including A-Level and GCSE Maths (both Higher and Foundation tiers). I also specialise in preparing students for selective school admissions.

For those outside the Bedford area or those who prefer flexibility, I offer effective online tutoring via Google Meet. This ensures high-quality, one-to-one support, regardless of your location.

I am a graduate of St. Andrews University and have been teaching and tutoring mathematics in Bedford since 2010. My qualifications include a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE) in Secondary Mathematics and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS). You can also be assured that I hold a current enhanced DBS certificate.

My tutoring approach is calm, structured, and patient, designed to build confidence in challenging topics. I actively encourage students and provide ample opportunities to practice new skills, offering constructive feedback along the way. As a recently retired teacher, I have up-to-date knowledge of exam specifications, common pitfalls, and effective examination techniques to help students maximise their marks.

I am confident that I can help your child improve their performance in their final GCSE or A-level maths exams.

Testimonial

A recent testimonial from the father of a year 11 tutee:
“Although in the top set for Maths at school, our 15-year-old daughter was struggling with certain GCSE Maths topics. We specifically wanted to find an existing Maths teacher for private lessons so we could be sure they had the necessary teaching skills as well as Maths knowledge. We also wanted one to one tuition and not group lessons.
We found John who is an upper school Maths teacher. Our daughter found John absolutely brilliant. He helped her to quickly understand the topics she was struggling with and suddenly it all made sense to her. She even began to really enjoy Maths for the first time as she now understood it. Her attainment grade rose from 4 to 7. Unfortunately, coronavirus then hit and her GCSE was canceled. Her GCSE mock exam grade was 7 but she believes she could have achieved an 8 had she taken the final exam.
We’d thoroughly recommend John to anyone whose child needs extra help with Maths. He is an excellent teacher and we’ll certainly use him again if our youngest daughter needs extra help with Maths.
