About Donald
Teaching learners who struggle with Maths gives me the greatest satisfaction. Since qualifying to teach in 1996, I taught German and French for several years. In 2009/10 I started my own Maths-teaching journey, teaching Key Skills at Carlisle College and then working on the One-to-One Tuition Programme as a Maths Tutor in secondary schools. Since 2010/11 I have been teaching GCSE Foundation Tier and Functional Maths in Adult Learning.

I use short, snappy activities, so that learning is varied. After each activity I allow time to acknowledge your successes and address misconceptions. Lessons are geared towards nurturing and encouraging, whilst stretching towards further development of skill, consolidation and understanding.

I recently completed a year-long Mathematics course that was both well structured and engaging. When I struggled to understand fractions and algebra, Donald went above and beyond to provide extra support. His patience, clear explanations, and encouragement made a real difference to my confidence and understanding. Thanks to his help, I was able to pass my course — something I’m sure I couldn’t have done without his guidance. I’m very grateful for all his support.
Donald is an absolutely fantastic maths tutor. As a mature student returning to the subject, I was pretty nervous about tackling my maths GCSE. I hadn't studied maths in years and felt like I was starting from scratch. From our very first session, Donald put me at ease. He's incredibly patient, and he has a knack for explaining complex topics in a way that just clicks.
He didn't just teach me formulas; he helped me understand the why behind the maths, which made all the difference. We worked through past papers, focused on my weaker areas, and his encouragement never wavered. Thanks to Donald, I not only passed my GCSE but also regained my confidence in my own abilities. I couldn't have done it without him. If you're looking for a top-notch maths tutor who genuinely cares about your success, I highly recommend Donald.
Donald is an amazing Tutor and is passionate about maths. Working remotely he got me through my functional skills and GCSE, something I had been unable to achieve in 38 years. During this time I had avoided maths totally. Donald made it interesting and relevant to every day life with understandable examples. I cannot recommend Donald highly enough as a maths teacher.
Donald is a very good tutor. Very professional yet relaxed and explained the difficult tasks very well. I haven’t got a natural brain for maths but Donald explained things very well and worked at your level. I passed both level one and two first time thanks to his teaching. I would recommend Donald as a tutor.
Donald taught me level 1 and 2 functional skills maths and was a fantastic tutor. He is patient, nurturing and fun. In the space of 1 academic year I went from having no confidence at all in my ability to feeling confident and having a good level of understanding and competency. I passed both of my exams first time and achieved my qualification. I couldn't have done it without Donald and would highly recommend him to anyone :)
Got 100% in functional maths level 1 and 90% at level 2, and this despite having failed my maths totally at school. (Three Grade U's.) Really liked Donald's teaching style, very calm and relaxed and always willing to go back and explain things. Not sure I would have passed with a different tutor.

Details
Online tuition offers flexibility and convenience. For you, the learner, it means you can learn in the comfort of your own home without the need to travel to a class. If you are getting close to exam time, you might find it useful to sign up for the 10-Session Pack but as five two-hour sessions, or two 10-Session Packs consisting of 10 two-hour sessions.
For online tuition you need a webcam and microphone. This allows you to participate fully in learning activities and also addresses potential safeguarding issues. Ideally you need to be using a laptop, tablet or iPad.
If face-to-face tuition would suit you better and you live in Higher Broughton or Prestwich, I may be able to offer you tuition at one of the following public venues:
Broughton Hub Library - Mondays 10:00-22:00, Thursdays 10:00-22:00
Lower Kersal Library - Mondays only, 09:30-17:00
Prestwich Library - Thursdays only, 13:00-19:00
Please note: I am a library member but do not have a formal arrangement with these venues.
