Personal Description:
Professional Maths Tutor with BSc Mathematics (1st class) from the University of Aberdeen and MSc in Sustainable Energy Systems from University of Edinburgh.
I am friendly, easy going and take great pride in helping people reach their academic potential.
Tutoring Experience:
I have over 10 years of tutoring experience. I have tutored 100+ pupils of varying mathematical ability, which has given me a wealth of experience in dealing with the problems pupils have.
I have specific experience of UK and International School systems: IB, IGCSE, International A LEVEL etc
A large number of my tutees were found through word-of-mouth from former tutees pleased with their results.
I currently maintain a 22/22 5-star rating on FirstTutors UK
Tutoring Approach:
Every student is an individual and deserves to be treated as such. There is no one size fits all approach that works for everyone so I make sure to really understand how all my students think in order to optimise their learning.
I believe that everyone deserves the best chance at school. It does not matter to me if you are a straight A student looking for some insurance, or if you are a bottom set student who has always struggled with maths. All I ask from my tutees is a willingness to learn.

Matthew's Feedback

Total Positive Feedback: |
Our daughter has said that Matt is excellent at explaining maths questions and using different approaches to solve maths problems.
We thoroughly recommend Matt as a tutor.
In summary, I observed Matt to be professional in his approach, focused and interested in finding out what the requirements of his assignment was so to get on the right path from the start.
Matt is very approachable and appears relaxed, but focused throughout the session.
Would highly recommend Matt.
RESULTS UPDATE:
Maths - A
Physics - B
I found Matthew on (first tutors) after looking through his reviews I reached out for his help. Within the week we had arranged an appointment and started going over what I was not understanding.
He is fantastic at what he does and I cannot stress enough that if you are struggling or not understanding something. Reach out to Matthew as he will help you gain the knowledge you need to feel comfortable tackling the problems you face.
His knowledge is vast and he can make the most complex of problems seem simple.
Even though I had issues with a couple of maths modules I decided to carry on getting lessons from Matthew throughout the year and go over every module I had been taught before my maths exam. I am now better prepared than ever and feel far more confident going into my exam.
Without his help and guidance, I am not sure how I would have done in the exam. I am extremely grateful for his help and I will have no hesitation contacting Matthew while I progress further with my course work and degree.
He helped our son, who attends an international school in Germany, to both keep up during the semester and prepare really well for the end-of-term exams.
Matthew’s teaching is carried with a focus on the respective term test requirements, so our son was able to achieve excellent results at the midterm and final tests. Our son now perceives Math as something one can always do really well in with proper, timely preparation/study. We can only recommend Matthew further to any student/parent seeking someone, who will help them achieve the results they want.
Really helpful
He was teaching Mathematics to my both sons and they rocked the exams and I highly recommend Matthew as your teacher.
!!!YOU ARE AMAZING MATT!!! They couldn't have done it without you.
