My Information

I am very positive, fast-paced and extremely encouraging. I always aim to build confidence and boost mathematical ability both to as great an extent as possible. Being enormously driven and competitive, I will always take pride in my tutees and the impressive results they get. 

I have very useful resources including new IT based resources as well as past exam papers. I do not charge at all for the first session and always do an initial assessment after which I produce a schedule of topics to maximise how effective my tutoring sessions are. 

I always mark any work my tutees do, giving detailed feedback on how to score full marks in exams. Any questions or queries at all, please do not hesitate to contact me (please see/ask for references).

Availability: I am available anytime weekdays and weekends and can travel to you. I am more than happy to tutor short-term or long-term and can do sessions of any length of time. The first session is completely free. Any questions or queries at all, please do not hesitate to contact me (please see/ask for references).

Willing to travel: 10 miles

Tutoring Experience:

I studied mathematics at Hull University and have since worked as a fully qualified teacher of mathematics. I have experience of teaching mathematics in six different schools. I have regularly received the highest grade of 'outstanding' for my lessons which have been observed by senior teachers throughout my career. 

I have also achieved very impressive results with my year eleven GCSE classes over the course of my career. I currently work at a school which has been graded as 'outstanding' in all areas by Ofsted. I have additional responsibility for the standard of teaching and learning across the mathematics faculty. I have been on many different training courses which have been based on how maths can be made far easier for students. 

I have also marked GCSE examination papers so have very good knowledge and understanding of how students can gain and lose marks. Outside of my main job, I have consistently helped tutees of all ages and abilities achieve their desired qualification at the grade they wanted (please see/ask for references). 

I have also coached youth football teams of various ages.

I would recommend Oliver to anyone, absolutely amazing, failed maths for 3 years had about 6/7 hours with Oliver and passed! Easy to get on with and very understanding.

Ollie is a really enthusiastic and encouraging tutor. My son grew more and more confident with his Maths and found Ollie easy to understand and work with. Ollie genuinely seemed to enjoy teaching and nothing was too much trouble for him. Would definitely recommend.

Oliver was my tutor a month prior to my exam, I found him a great help he explained things in a way which was easy for me to understand and answered any questions I wasn't sure about. He also didn't mind me getting in touch with him throughout the week by text or putting papers through his door to be marked which helped me out on top of the 2 hour sessions I was having each week. I would defiantly recommend him!
