Woking Maths Tutor

16/07/2026

Another academic year draws to an end and, once again, it has been a pleasure to work with my students over the course of the year. Well done for all you have achieved.
The end of this year is a little different though. I have just closed down the online classroom after what was my last ever session. I have reached that time of my life when retirement beckons.
Over the years I have worked with literally hundreds and hundreds of students and I want to thank you all for your support. I would like to particularly thank those students who, six years ago, stuck with me as we faced the challenge of moving the tuition sessions from face-to-face to online. Without you I maybe would have been forced to retire a little earlier!!
I may have stopped tutoring but do please still keep in touch. I love to hear about how students have progressed and what you’re doing now, whether it’s anything to do with Maths, or whether you’ve not looked at any Maths since your last session with me.
Best of luck to all for the future.

Wishing all my students a very merry Christmas and happy holiday season. Looking forward to catching up again in the new year, which I hope will be a successful one for you all!

It seems as though the formula sheets may continue - this will be good news to many students, but I would still recommend that any students wishing to continue Maths to A level try to learn the formulae as they will need to know them later.

The education secretary says equation sheets should be available to students sitting exams in 2025, 2026 and 2027.

Very interested to see from the analysis of the A Level results that Maths is still the most popular A Level and it has grown in popularity such that it's the first subject to surpass more than 100,000 entrants. Long may this continue.

The north-south divide persists and T-level dropout rates remain high. Here's what you need to know.

Just a shout out to my A level students, wishing good luck for the first pure paper tomorrow. Keep calm and take time to read the questions, write down every step of your workings and you'll be fine.

As the GCSE exams get properly underway today we are now only a week away from the first Maths paper. Here's wishing all students a lot of luck with all the subjects, but especially with Maths 😀. Keep calm, make sure you read the question properly and take it steady, you'll be fine. With both papers 2 and 3 coming after the half term break try to keep the momentum going over half term, if you can, as paper 2 is the first one after the break and you want to still be "in the zone". Good luck - you've got this!

It's that time of year when I start to see the worry lines appear in the faces of my students as they realise how close the exams are getting, so imagine my delight to receive this message from a student last night as they sent me their homework ...."Looking forward to a refreshing Maths lesson after the load of DT coursework I've had to complete every evening this week!" It brought a real smile to my face 😀
