Former Headteacher with over 25 years' experience of helping students fulfil their potential in GCSE & A level Mathematics. One hour 1 to 1 & group are available online. Please see recommendations.

Mark was highly recommended to us to help our daughter Holly with her GCSE Mathematics.

Mark helped Holly to break down her work and revision and set manageable tasks with realistic goals, all managed online in an easy to use environment.

The whole experience allowed Holly to bring her level up 2 full grades over an 18 month period.

We would highly recommend Mark’s tuition services.

Mark has tutored our son for the last year of his GCSE maths. He is neurodivergent with dyscalculia and was really lacking in confidence going into the exam period. Mark understood his needs and made the lessons engaging. He helped improve confidence, focus and understanding of how to tackle the exam - taking short breaks when he needed to, where he could pick up extra marks easily. He went into the whole process feeling much better about maths generally rather than feeling overwhelmed and his results improved alongside this.

I was initially worried about how an online Maths tutor would work and if I would receive the same quality of tutoring but Mark was quick to prove me wrong. He has really helped me through my GCSE Maths with interactive worksheets and I have gained a lot of confidence which has encouraged me to take up A level Maths next year.

Mark is a brilliant tutor. He is committed, patient and genuinely passionate about maths which comes across in all of his lessons. My daughter Florence was struggling in Y11 and Mark gave her confidence and worked carefully and methodically with her to make sure she passed her GCSE. I highly recommend Mark as a tutor. I only wish I’d found him sooner!

We couldn’t recommend Mark highly enough as a maths tutor. He helped our son improve by two grades, which was a fantastic achievement and something we are incredibly grateful for.
Mark was always friendly, professional and patient, and he had a great way of making difficult topics easy to understand. The online lessons worked really well, and he provided useful practice materials and flashcards to help reinforce what had been taught.
One thing we particularly appreciated was that Mark sent a voice note after each session, explaining how the lesson had gone and updating us on our son’s progress. This gave us a really clear understanding of how he was getting on and where he was improving.
Mark’s support, encouragement and teaching made a real difference to our son’s confidence and results. We would highly recommend him to any parent looking for a dedicated, professional and supportive maths tutor.

Mark helped my son pass his maths GCSE. He is very friendly, supportive, and patient. He always explained everything really well to my son, who usually refuses any help, and he looked forward to his sessions with Mark. Big thanks from me and my son.

I am a newly qualified Maths Teacher and Mark gave me some excellent 1 - 1 coaching in teaching Maths. He clearly has a professional approach to tutoring and makes his sessions fun and engaging. He taught me some excellent tools and strategies that really helped me grow in confidence in the early stages of my career.

Mark has tutored my son in maths as he started secondary school. He has really helped him in his transition and he has moved up a set in maths part way through year 7. Would recommend for online maths tuition.

I came across Mark's profile while looking for a Math teacher to help my son, who is in year 11, prepare for his entry exams to Dulwich College. I am pleased to say that I definitely made the right choice. I highly recommend Mark. He is clearly passionate about teaching, and most importantly, he is very patient with my son, who tends to get anxious at times, especially with Math. My son has been offered a place at Dulwich College, and I believe Mark played a significant role in preparing him for his Math exam. Thank you, Mark.

Really can't recommend Mark enough. We are two terms in to maths tutoring for our Y9 daughter and Mark has absolutely brought her on in leaps and bounds. So much for the ethos with Mark is positive, reinforcing teaching. He gets to know the individual and how they work, drawing on their strengths and ways of working. He makes lessons inclusive, fun and challenging. The difference for us has been how positive our daughter has been feeling about her maths journey. For us this isn't about her being top of the grades but to ensure that her journey with maths is a stable, consistent one so that she can get through the GCSE feeling supported and confident in her ability. Thank you Mark, the difference is amazing.

In our daughter’s words: “Mark’s amazing. He’s really polite, helpful, patient and explains stuff well. And he’s fun.” Our daughter’s confidence with maths and her enjoyment of it has increased so much since she started her weekly sessions with him. I only wish we’d had Mark as her tutor for a year or two more. Anyone would be lucky to be taught by him and we thoroughly recommend him.

Mark has a very engaging style and a clear method which sets the foundations for maths at any academic level. Both my sons have used Mark with tangible improvement in their confidence and exam results.

Mark has been a fantastic tutor for our son! Henry's maths confidence has grown consistently throughout the 10 week programme with Mark. Mark is patient and kind whilst also ensuring that all math's topics can be fully accessed by the student, often using technology to enable better engagement (and enthusiasm!). We are so happy that we have found him to support Henry's journey into his GCSE year 11 and have already enrolled for the full programme leading up to June next year. Highly recommended!

Mark has been excellent with our maths shy teenager. Charlie really struggled with confidence in his maths and hated tackling weekly homework. Don't get me wrong, he would choose not to do any maths given the choice, but his confidence has definitely improved with Mark.
We have agreed to a break in tuition for a while, but will 100% be using Mark again and even more when GCSE years start

Mark has gone over and above with our son who has additional SEN. In a short few months, hindered by our son also being very unwell with Glandular fever running up to the exam period, his grades moved from a 3 at mocks to a 5 on completing GCSE Maths. A huge relief, thank you.

I was privileged to work with Mark for many years. His passion for maths was always evident and came across in his teaching. He encouraged and supported students of all abilities to reach their potential.
I have no hesitation in recommending him as a tutor.

Mark is my nephew whom I admire and respect. I have watched him grow from childhood to become a responsible and caring adult. His love of mathematics began when he was a young boy encouraged by his grandfather. They had great fun making and solving mathematical problems. As a retired teacher, it is very clear to me that Mark has put this fun and love for the subject into his teaching. His belief is that Mathematics is something to enjoy, not fear.

Having worked with Mark for many years and observed his outstanding maths lessons, I recommend him whole-heartedly as a tutor. He will help students make excellent progress, no matter where their starting point may be.

Although I have not personally experienced Mark’s math’s teaching abilities, I have constantly observed his passion for the subject and his exemplary career as a much lauded teacher and headmaster. I know him best as a father, a sports coach and an adult. He is brilliant with children. Warm, funny, motivational, and respectful. I would not hesitate to strongly recommend him to any parent.

Mark was amazing with my son. Without him my son would not have achieved his Maths GCSE. His persistence and understanding of what was needed wassecond to none. I will be forever grateful

Mark taught my daughter for maths. She found that he was clear with explanations and supportive. She found her confidence and went in to study maths at ‘A’ level. I would highly recommend him.

Mark is a great teacher - he has taught my grandchildren for a number of years. He is very good at explaining mathematical techniques in multiple ways allowing children to find the way they understand. I would recommend him highly.

I have known and worked with Mark for 16 years. He is a dedicated teacher who has the ability to inspire, build confidence and challenge students thinking whatever their ability. I have no hesitation in recommending him to you.

Mark makes learning maths fun and students progress quickly. As leader of Teaching and Learning in the secondary school where we both worked I saw Mark teaching many times and was always impressed with his approach. Students experienced success in a subject that can be challenging for some and they achieved impressive exam results. I recommend his tutoring without hesitation.

As a SENCo, I have seen Mark take some of the most disaffected students and support them to grow in confidence and develop a love of maths they didn’t even know was there. His calm, patient and understanding approach helps students to see what they can achieve and to demonstrate their true ability.

I have had the privilege of working with Mark for several years and 100% recommend him as a Maths tutor.
I have seen hundreds of students benefit from his knowledge and his passion shines through in abundance. He is not only an inspiring teacher but a warm person and very missed colleague

I worked with Mark for many years, his knowledge and love of Maths is very evident. He is an excellent teacher who has high expectations and supports his students to reach their potential.
I highly recommend him as a tutor .

In my role as Head of Learning Support, I was highly impressed by Mark’s ability to restore student confidence and understanding. He made Maths lessons fun and accessible for all abilities with his multi sensory teaching, and his results were excellent.

I've know Mark as an outstanding Maths teacher for over a decade. I wouldn't hesitate to say he's the best Maths teacher I know, and as deputy head of a large secondary school I have seen alot of Maths teachers! He would be an asset as tutor or teacher to any organisation. Thoroughly recommended.

I have had the pleasure of knowing Mark for a number of years and have no hesitation in recommending him as a Maths tutor. He was my son's teacher and, it is fair to say, mentor whist my son was at Secondary school. His enthusiasm for his subject was legendary as was his support for all his pupils.

I was Mark's Headteacher between 2012 and 2018. Mark was and remains an excellent teacher of Mathematics. He is able to inspire confidence in his students and help them to understand the often difficult mathematical concepts required. I recommend him without hesitation.

Mark was a mathematics tutor for my son. His expertise and carefully structured support enabled my son to achieve an A* in GCSE Mathematics. I would recommend Mark unreservedly as an outstanding tutor.
