Experienced Maths Teacher/Leader (7+ yrs) and Tutor (20+ yrs) offering tuition in London and online
Methodology
Ilke (Med student in Oxford) says: "Simon has been a very encouraging and dedicated teacher who would go out of his way to break down and simplify concepts, thus allowing me to gain much better understanding of the subject, and be much more interested in it."
I probably won't give you a solution right away but will introduce you to a variety of approaches and shortcuts so that you can become independent and confident in your own abilities.
My students regularly improve by a whole grade over the course of half a year (tuition at 1 hr/week), and two whole grades over one year (2-3 hrs/week).
Most of my students have moved on to the world's leading universities such as Cambridge University, the MIT, Seoul University and Sydney University.
