About Tim
With a first-class honours maths degree from Oxford University, I trained as a secondary school teacher (teaching years 7 to 11), and then spent nearly ten years teaching maths in a post-16 school in the Greenwich Borough. There I taught A-level (both maths and further maths) and also GCSE maths for pupils resitting. The pupils I taught were of a wide range of abilities and backgrounds. A large number of my GCSE resit pupils were successful in raising their grades to a C (or now a 4). Pupils were keen to be in my class. I semi-retired five years ago and have done a fair amount of private tuition since then, both online and face-to-face.

I try to keep this list up-to-date. I will be retiring in July 2026, so it may not be possible to continue beyond that date.
I believe in a very individualised approach, concentrating on identifying and improving the areas a pupil struggles with. My experience in school has helped me learn a variety of methods for teaching particular topics, and which ones are most likely to be successful. Practice outside of lessons is key to success in maths, and tutoring needs to be in addition to full attendance and participation in all lessons at school, homework and extra study activities laid on by the school, and is absolutely NOT a replacement for these things.
For the protection of my elderly mother-in-law from the coronavirus, all my lessons are being conducted by Skype. This has worked surprisingly well. As things are slightly more difficult to explain when you are not face-to-face, I usually teach for a little more than an hour (75-90 minutes) for the cost of a normal one-hour lesson. I do not charge for cancelled lessons provided I am given sufficient notice to avoid a wasted journey. My pupils are free to leave at any time if they feel they have achieved all they have set out to, or if they feel things are not working out.
My normal working days are Mondays / Tuesdays late afternoons / early evenings. I currently have no available slots free. I will probably be retiring in July 2026, so it may not be possible to continue past that date.
Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Tim.
Perfect! Tim has been absolutely brilliant with my son. We first approached him as my son, who was home schooled and starting maths A level very late.
This was due to the government cancelling the booked (and paid for) IGCSE's!
This was disastrous as by the time he had finished sitting his IGCSE's, his peers at school were already 7 months into their first year of A levels - so had only about 10 weeks left until the end of their first year.
My son's confidence, from being high, totally crashed as his dream of applying to uni's with his peers were zero.
It took some talking him around but eventually he started with a tentative chat with Tim in the October and he very soon picked up momentum and achieved a credible result in a very short amount of time.
Tim kept us both up to date at all times with a running, written commentary, and made a lot of really useful suggestions along the way.
He was also available to speak to, when I felt it necessary.
My son's confidence has risen hugely and he has now just started engineering college.
It's lovely to see him flourishing; he was nervous to begin with, but over the last few weeks has realised that Tim has taught him thoroughly and well, and to date, is always the top of the class in maths!
It's lovely to see his confidence grow daily.
Thank you so much Tim, we really appreciate your help, kindness, patience and thoroughness!View more reviews

I was Tims line manager in a 6th form college for 10yrs. I always found him to be respectful, professional and reliable. He has an excellent subject knowledge, Maths A level and GCSE. He was able to form a good rapport with his students which allowed them to feel safe to ask for support when needed, and this resulted in successful outcomes. He is always calm and patient and non judgemental. Tim knows when to go back to basics to support further learning.
Tim is an extremely hard working and able Maths teacher and can teach to many levels and styles. As his previous line manager I know that he always has the best interest of the student at heart and will strive for their success.
