Chris S
Maths Tutor - Chartered Engineer with 10+ years of experience as a private tutor Music Theory Tutor
About
I'm a structural engineer keen to pass on my maths skills to help the next generation.
I have been tutoring for the last 10 years, mainly GCSE maths but also some primary school students and A Levels.
The key to success is to convince the student they are capable; confidence-building is what I see as my main role.
I enjoy working 1 to 1, finding out what makes a student "tick" and doing my best to bring out strengths.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Chris S's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — today they don't feed this tutor's Tutorperch rating or ranking.
How we verify these
Each imported review went through admin review. The tutor proved ownership of the First Tutors profile via one of two paths:
- Photo match. The First Tutors avatar matched the tutor's identity-verified Tutorperch photo, confirmed by admin.
- Cryptographic email check. The tutor uploaded an original First Tutors email (.eml). We verified the DKIM signature against First Tutors' signing keys and cross-checked the embedded tutor ID against the claimed profile.
The review text is the original reviewer's own words, quoted as-is. We verified the tutor's ownership of the profile, not the truth of what each individual reviewer wrote.

He has been an incredible tutor to my sister for her GCSE Maths. She is shy and isn't comfortable asking questions, but she feels that Chris listens to her and is very patient with her. She likes his teaching style of implementing different ways to get her to understand the problems better.We initially wanted Chris to tutor her for couple of sessions before her year 10 mock exam, but my sister wants to continue sessions with Chris for her GCSE prep. I recommend Chris to anyone.

Thank you Sujata - I'm looking forward to the coming year.
