About

A Master of Mathematics graduate from UEA in Norwich, with a year studying in Melbourne Australia. I have over 14 years experience tutoring with various age groups, abilities and personalities.
Since university I have enjoyed tutoring part time and full time for the past 14 years. I was also contracted in by a local college to provide individual and group tutoring sessions to underachieving students, during and after school.
I started tutoring GCSE maths in Year 13, providing a very structured learning by my school. The students engaged well and it helped to have people of a similar age that the students could relate to, enabling a more relaxed learning atmosphere. I also informally helped peers of various levels whilst at university, maths students but also engineering and foundation levels. When my services were required in a particular area, then they asked for help on short notice.
Since, I've been tutoring 7 days a week with peak hours ranging in excess of 40hrs of tutoring. I've therefore assessed the likely weaknesses of a student and have already provided and perfected the best methods of explanation.
Can look at casual tutoring of areas of difficulty, or can do more structured learning of a curriculum, either intense learning or weekly troubleshooting. I've established good quality material for any level. Plenty of students just require good material and direction for their efforts.
The first meeting will be free with the aim of getting to know one another and the strengths and weaknesses of the tutee, and at what pace the student requires. At which point a structured plan of action can be drawn up. In some cases the tutee may lack the confidence in areas, but can in fact do what's required. Even a casual troubleshooting session every now and then can set their worries at rest.

Reviews from First Tutors

4.9 across 32 reviews

Imported from Daniel H.'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.

    My daughter finds him very helpful, explains it in a way she understands and recognises when she can’t focus on the task, moves to another one and returns to the original one when she can refocus

    Passionate about maths! Just not suited to my learning style, but definitely might be for others:)

    Good luck with the exams! Those last minute enquiries before an exam are always hit and miss, when going into it blind to your strengths and weaknesses, it'd take too long to go through all the subject areas in time.

    Daniel has been helping my son with the math. He is very reliable and punctual, and my son is very happy with the sessions, he says that Daniel explains everything very well. Fingers crossed for a good mark in the upcoming exam :)

    Over the past 3 months we have had Daniel, twice a week for face to face tutoring for our 14 year old son. Daniel has been flexible and adaptable in tutoring our son who is attending an International school in Australia whilst we are temporarily based in the UK. Daniel is professional and focused in his approach and has helped teaching our son new topics, ensuring that he has grasped the basics before carrying on, ironing out problems if there are any. He has provided extra ‘cheat’ summary sheets, as well as his own resources to support his tutoring. Daniel has an easygoing nature and is very approachable. His help has ensured our son has been able to keep up whilst temporarily out of his Australian classroom environment. We would highly recommend Daniel, his guidance and excellent maths knowledge continue to be valued by our son.

    We have had Daniel for 3 weeks and he has been brilliant. He has a really nice manner and is incredibly patient. But really it is my daughter who should write this review. She says “In 3 weeks I feel that Daniel has helped me consolidate a lot of stuff and I feel more confident already. He makes me laugh and makes maths fun”

    First impressions very good and pleased to have met Daniel. Took time to understand students current level, goals, and objectives, in order to tailor material accordingly.

    We are very happy that we introduced Daniel to our son, Daniel has made a big difference in a short amount of time, our son's confidence is growing and he is learning new techniques - starting to enjoy math instead of dreading it!.

    I can not recommend Daniel highly enough, he is extremely patient (given that my son really hated Maths), without Daniel my son would never have obtained his Nat 5 result. It was always a pleasure to see Daniel who is such a nice person to have in your home as a tutor. Thanks Daniel for all you did it is very much appreciated!!

    Daniel was extremely reliable and understood our son’s needs perfectly. He was extremely patient and would go over things again and again until our son got it. He managed to get a student who wasn’t even going to be allowed to sit N5 to a B grade. We can’t thank him or recommend him highly enough.

    So pleased we have Daniel tutoring our son. Even after just 4 session his confidence in maths has grown, so great to see this sort of result in such a short period of time.

    Very good communication, my son is very happy at what Daniel has went over so far.

  • Mike

    imported from First Tutors

    Daniel has been working with our son for 4 sessions now and progress is already noticeable in both our son's confidence and grasp of mathematical principles which is translating well in the classroom. The recommendations of other parents were key in us choosing Daniel. They were most helpful and accurate as borne out by our encouraging experience with Daniel so far. So worth it!

    Daniel is a very good tutor. He has a good way of starting off the course, and has lot of patience allowing me to try and grasp his science. Many Thanks

    Daniel is an excellent tutor and I cannot recommend him highly enough. My son enjoys the sessions as Daniel has a very relaxed manner and explains things very clearly. He doesn't leave until he has covered the topics thoroughly - regularly going over time to ensure that a concept is firmly understood. Many thanks Daniel!
