Questions parents ask.

I’ll ask a few questions about your child: their year, where they are with maths and what you’d like help with. Then I’ll suggest a class or a time for one-to-one. There’s no commitment until you’re happy.

Mainly Years 7 to 11, from KS3 through to GCSE. Primary (KS2) is by request, either one-to-one or in a face-to-face group for home-ed families.

One-to-one is the quickest way to close specific gaps or prepare for a big exam. Group classes suit children who are broadly on track and want steady practice and confidence. If you’re not sure, tell me about your child and I’ll recommend one.

No, but the first lesson is paid on its own, with no commitment. If it isn’t the right fit, you stop there.

AQA, Edexcel and OCR, at both Foundation and Higher tier.

Live, at fixed times, with no more than eight students. Cameras are on, hands go up, and everyone works through problems with me in real time on a shared whiteboard.

A laptop or tablet with a camera, a quiet spot, and pen and paper. I send the video-call link before each lesson.

At your home, if you’re close to Whetstone (N20), or at a local venue. Most one-to-one lessons are online, which keeps more of the time for teaching.

A short task after most lessons, designed to take about 20 minutes. It shows me what has stuck before the next lesson.

A short update after one-to-one lessons, and a progress message each half-term for group classes.

Ask to join the waiting list. When a place opens, it’s offered in waiting-list order.

Monthly in advance, on the 1st. The first lesson is paid on its own.

£35 a lesson online, or £45 in person. On the 4-a-month rule, weekly lessons are £140 a month and fortnightly £70. A fifth week is a break.

Classes run twice a week in term time. £95 every month spreads that evenly across the year, which works out at £15 a class.

By bank transfer. Payment details come with your first invoice.

For group classes, they get the notes and worksheets, with no refund. For one-to-one, give 24 hours’ notice and I’ll reschedule. If I cancel, you get a reschedule or a refund.

No. Stop any time with one month’s notice: tell me before the 1st and that month is your last.

Yes, I hold an enhanced DBS certificate and I’m happy to show it.
