Written by the company

With over thirty years of experience teaching across three continents and every type of educational setting, I offer one-to-one tuition in KS3, GCSE, and A Level Mathematics and Physics that is both rigorous and deeply personalised. My students are not “typical” — nor are my methods. Every learner brings their own history, confidence level, and way of thinking. My role is to meet them where they are, then guide them to where they never thought they could go. While the majority of my sessions are delivered online for accessibility and flexibility, I also offer in-person tuition for those seeking a face-to-face learning experience. Every lesson is tailored in real time, based on a close reading of how each student responds to challenges, processes mistakes, and grows through understanding. I celebrate missteps as stepping stones — opportunities to correct misconceptions, deepen understanding, and build intellectual resilience. What sets my tuition apart isn’t just my qualifications — which include a BSc (Hons) in Mathematics and Statistics, a PGCE, an MA in Learning and Teaching, and a CELTA — but the way I support and believe in each student. I offer a dedicated WhatsApp group (with a parent as administrator) to share session notes and provide ongoing support between lessons. This helps ensure that learning continues beyond the hour and that parents remain involved and informed. Students who engage fully with the process often surpass their predicted grades — sometimes by two levels or more — but more importantly, they gain confidence, clarity, and a new sense of what they’re capable of. This is not just tuition. It’s personal, transformative learning — built on trust, communication, and thirty years of proven impact.

I’ve worked with Charlie through GCSEs and now onto Alevels, he always thoroughly prepares lessons and externals learning tasks and takes on my suggestions on board by asking me areas i struggle in. He is a kind, welcoming and understanding tutor who always pushes me and tests my knowledge. I have thoroughly enjoyed working with Charlie and will continue to!

If there were 6 stars ....

If there were 6 stars I would choose that. My daughter has been working with Charlie for probably three years or so. He always prepares his lessons thoroughly, always set homework, always provides a lesson recap. I also think he does more than the allotted hour. My daughter changed her subjects for A-level and we airlifted Charlie back in even though they aren't the subjects he normally covers because their relationship is so good. He's learnt the new subjects in his own time in order to teach her. The man's a genius. You'd be crazy to look else where. Charlie genuinely cares, has huge experience of working with children and is a great relationship builder.

I really enjoy my lessons with Charlie

I really enjoy my lessons with Charlie. He helps me clearly understand my learning by visually explaining it to me. He also actively encourages me to do little mini experiments around my house to help consolidate the learning I have done in my lesson. He also clearly lays out what we will be doing in lessons, while additionally sending me extra things to help me with my exams. He has given me me lots of confidence for my most recent mocks! I would highly recommend Charlie to anyone who asks, he is an amazing tutor.

Charlie instills confidence

Charlie instills confidence. He made a big difference to my daughter for her GCSE maths: helped her with concepts she was struggling with and gave her techniques for dealing with all the problems she could face

Although very much in demand, he is very flexible and easy to engage with.

Charlie is engaging and thorough.

Charlie helped my son through his final months before and through his Maths and Physics GCSEs providing both teaching and revisions sessions to supplement what he'd learned (and not learned) at school.
He has a relaxed but firm style, and engaged my son in their sessions in a way that his teachers at school hadn't succeeded in doing. His long experience in the sector gives him an excellent understanding of the requirements of the subjects he covers.
Highly recommended.

Two years of excellence in tutoring

My daughter had the pleasure of working with Charlie for the past two years, and I can confidently say he has been more than excellent. His deep understanding of both mathematics and physics is matched by his ability to explain complex concepts in a clear, patient, and engaging way.

He has consistently gone above and beyond—not only helping with academic improvement but also building confidence and problem-solving skills that extend far beyond the classroom. His dedication, reliability, and genuine passion for teaching make him an outstanding tutor. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for top-tier support in maths or physics.

A Fantastic Tutor Who Made a Real Difference

We’re incredibly grateful for the support our son received in the run-up to his GCSE Maths exams. Charlie not only helped him strengthen his understanding of the subject but, more importantly, gave him the confidence to navigate revision and learning challenges with a clear head.

What made the biggest difference was the structured guidance and thoughtful prompts, especially through well-organised notes that highlighted exactly where to focus his energy and attention. This clarity made the whole journey feel far more manageable and less overwhelming.

Thanks to this approach, our son felt supported, motivated, and much more in control of his learning. We couldn’t have asked for a better tutor during such a crucial time

Great maths tuitions

My daughter has really benefitted from maths tuitions from Charlie. He puts in a lot of effort in ensuring each of her lessons are tailored to her needs and plans them with her in advance so that she can think about the gaps in her knowledge and ask relevant questions. I would highly recommend him.

Charlie gave my son the confidence he needed to be able to feel confident going into his GCSE exams.
His clear explanations and notes after the sessions were so helpful for my son refer back to.
The professional approach and rapport Charlie built with my son meant he felt comfortable in all sessions.
I cannot thank Charlie enough for all his support and I’m sure it will show in my son’s results. Thank you Charlie.

Charlie has been a welcome addition to our daughter’s GCSE learning journey. Dyslexia makes maths a real challenge for her and Charlie had been patient and understanding. We chose face to face sessions as that is my daughter’s preferred way of learning - and she has found them so helpful. He also gives feedback after each session which is useful.
Would highly recommend!
