About Richard
I tutor GCSE Maths for all levels and ages (Y10, Y11 or adults returning to education). I have many years of tutoring experience behind me (but am new to the Superprof platform), so whether you are struggling with the basics of Foundation Level or aiming for the best grade at the Higher level, I will help you attain your goal.
Current History
I am now retired and work part-time as a Maths tutor. I have many years experience tutoring Maths, but I am new to the Superprof platform and thus have lowered my tutoring fee until I build up reviews and recommendations on the platform.
History ...
BSc. in Chemistry, MSc in Computer Science, lifetime career writing computer programs for companies in the financial (mostly investment banks) and scientific sectors of industry. The final ten years (or so) of my employed career were spent managing, mentoring and coaching younger people in Maths, Computer Science, especially university interns on their one-year industry placement and university graduates entering their first full-time employment.
Two drivers pulled me into tutoring:
First : back when I was a teenager (Y9, Y10 & Y11), my school assigned me to the equivalent of Foundation Maths & Science classes. I knew I could do better but needed a little help to make the jump. I got that help from a few great teachers at the school and some adults outside of the education system. I did manage to make the jump to the equivalent of Higher GCSE exams, which led to science & maths A-Levels, then onto two Science Degrees (BSc & Masters) and had a wonderful, intellectually compelling career as a Software Engineer - I also had a pretty good salary along the way!
All of this BECAUSE a few helpful adults took time to invest in my future when I was young. I'm tutoring GCSE Maths in the hope of being one of those helpful adults for some aspiring teenagers today.
Second: I love teaching and sharing knowledge, especially Maths! ... Being present when a young person reaches the moment of understanding on a maths concept is priceless. Of course, the development of explanations that get them there is great fun too, but it is mostly about those "Aha moments" with the students.
In addition, it is just brilliant to be able to help build a young person's "Maths knowledge-base". Knowledge and understanding that could prepare them for more advanced Maths and/or Science in the future and that could ultimately steer them into a fulfilling career in STEM.

I understand how tough maths can be, there's definitely a lot to learn, understand and remember. My style is to work with you very closely; I put a lot of effort into customising your tutor sessions to fit your level of understanding and your speed. I'll build on your strengths, and at the same time discover your weaker areas, helping you clarify and master these.
Whether your current ability is at the Foundation level or at the harder Higher level concepts, I will use easy-to-understand explanations, memory strategies, worked examples and practice exercises, all targeted at your level of understanding - working together, we'll have lots of "Aha moments". I find that my students' knowledge grows, along with their confidence and understanding of the subject, as our sessions progress.
For all sessions (face-to-face & online), I use PowerPoint as a tool to drive the session. Each slide presents the mathematical concepts along with example questions we will use to consolidate the knowledge. Following our session, I will email the session's PPT. This means you will have a record of what we covered, with explanations and worked examples of the questions we covered.
The specific topics covered in a session can be driven by you, led by me or a combination of both. If led by me, I will begin by drawing on my experience of the topics students often have difficulty with, and as my understanding of your abilities and knowledge grows (with feedback from you), I will target the areas that will be most beneficial to you. Some exam-style questions will be used throughout the year, but as your exam time approaches (driven by you), we will shift more toward exam-style questions and exam prep so that you enter the examination room ready and confident.
Online tutorials: during our sessions, we will use a virtual whiteboard that will be available to you after the session to download. This will contain all the notes and work that we go through during our session, allowing you to review the session afterwards. For face-to-face tutorials, you will keep the paper version of all the notes and work at the end of a session.

Great first lesson with Richard - my son is confident that he will be able to support him in reinforcing his understanding of key concepts. He explained things really well and helped him understand alternative techniques for problems.
I’ve tried a few maths tutors, and Richard was definitely the best. He always finds a way to help you understand a topic, even when it makes no sense at the start. He takes his time and never rushes, which really helps. He’s much better than other tutors who just explain something and expect you to get it straight away. He’s really helped me with all of my GCSE maths.
Richard tutored me for my GCSE Maths before he even joined Superprof. He showed me some really helpful little tricks to use when it came to exam time, which honestly made things feel way less stressful. On top of that, his lessons were actually really good at clearing up stuff I’d been confused about for ages, like algebra and factorisation – even the dreaded quadratic equations actually make sense to me now!
Richard’s a really good tutor. He’s patient when I don’t get things straight away and he explains stuff in a way that actually makes sense to me. He always has loads to go through and connects different topics really well, which helps me understand better and makes it feel like I’m learning more and more each time.

New To Platform
--------------------
Please note that my rate is low at the moment because I am fairly new to the Superprof platform and have not had time to build up lots of student recommendations and feedback.
This does NOT reflect my true experience in tutoring, so now is a good opportunity to grab my time as your tutor!
Travel time & costs
----------------------
When tutoring face-to-face, I will travel to you. Depending upon the distance and travel-time an additional charge of £5-£15 will be made for travel. Travel is limited to 20 mile around Guildford, Surrey.
Enhanced DBS Check
-------------------------
I have an enhanced-DBS check certificate available on request.
