About
I am a qualified Maths teacher currently lecturing in GCSE Maths and Aeronautical Engineering, with degrees in both Aerospace Engineering and Teaching.
Tutees tend to fall into the following 3 categories:
- needing advanced help to reach full potential and achieve grade 7/8/9,
- predicted a borderline pass or fail at school and needing help to secure a pass,
- failed at first attempt and needing assistance with retake.
N.B. I have also become popular with boarding school students who use the online tuition service I offer.
I have a proven track record with all of the above, and have a huge stock of examining body approved resources and worksheets specific to individual topics in the syllabus.

Tutoring Approach
My usual approach for preparing a student to score as highly as possible in GCSE exams is to work together in attempting past paper after past paper. Doing this not only gets the student very familiar and experienced with what to expect in the exam, but also flags up areas of weakness which we then concentrate on until full competence is achieved in that topic.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Edward T.'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.

Ed was fantastic at finding the balance my son needed to successfully pass his exams with confidence. My son enjoyed the experience and will wish to continue his learning with Ed in the future. Many thanks Ed, Darren

Ed was a great tutor to my son for over 3 years. His calm, patience and ability to simplify problems really helped my son to build an understanding and confidence in maths. My son achieved a successful maths GCSE grade and we are delighted with the results. Moreover we are delighted with the new learning habits that appear to have rubbed off from Ed too. Thank you Ed for everything that you have done and we hope that everyone under his tutelage benefits as much as our son has.

Considering maths is one of my daughter's least favourite subjects, she's always happy to do her tutor sessions with Ed - that speaks volumes! I asked her for feedback and she says Ed explains things really well and he's gradually working up the GCSE grades with her in terms of gradually increasing the difficulty. So far so good.

Ed tutored my daughter for GCSE Maths who achieved grade 8. He structured the sessions focused around exam question practise which was great for identifying topics to drill down into for further learning and questions. He also focused on topics based on request. Approach worked well for my daughter & online sessions were very prompt with good use of communication tools. Thanks for your help Ed!

We are absolutely thrilled with the progress our daughter made under Ed’s guidance. When we first started, our daughter was struggling and consistently scoring a Grade 5 in her exams. However, after working with Ed, she has now achieved a Grade 7 in her GCSE, which is beyond our expectations! Ed is not only knowledgeable but also incredibly patient and encouraging. He tailored the lessons to our daughters’ learning needs, making the material engaging and easier to understand. The confidence that our child gained through these sessions was remarkable. It's clear that Ed genuinely cares about his students' success, and this has made all the difference. We highly recommend Ed to any parent looking to support their child's education. The improvement we've seen has been phenomenal, and we couldn't be happier with the results. Thank you Ed, for your dedication and hard work!

My son received a grade 4 in his Maths mock exam for GCSE and we were very worried he wouldn’t improve this so we employed the services of Ed on a weekly basis for 5 months and we got his results today and he got a 7 which is superb news and testament to Ed and his methods. Can’t thank you enough and can’t recommend more highly. Andy

Ed is fabulous! He is an extremely personable and engaging teacher whose patience and calm manner ensures that lessons are stress free and enjoyable. My daughter always looked forward to her lessons with Ed and even when she was at her most tired, never complained about going. Her confidence in, and knowledge of maths has grown immensely over the past two years and as a result, rather than the predicted GCSE grade 4/5 she was looking at, she came out with an extremely solid grade 6, missing a 7 by only a few marks. Employing Ed to tutor our daughter was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made. Thanks Ed, you’re a star!

Great teaching style, very patient, and very knowledgable about all topics. My kids have had huge improvements in their understandings of topics as well as their marks. Very prepared for lessons and great resources provided, and all topics explained with great examples. Huge support for homework help too. My child got a 9 in GCSE maths as a result!

We couldn't recommend Ed highly enough. He has been teaching my son online for a year, for GCSE Maths, and his confidence and capability has grown enormously. My son has found Ed engaging, understanding and challenging. The biggest compliment I can pay Ed as a parent is that throughout, my son has never tried to make an excuse to skip a lesson (he is 16 after all), or had a negative word to say about how he has been taught. I was slightly apprehensive about online tuition for such an important year but it's the best decision we made for his learning and confidence in Maths. Thanks Ed!

Ed is an amazing tutor - I cannot recommend him highly enough. My son was predicted Grade 5 EdExcel GCSE in his mock exam. He only began sessions with Ed in March and achieved a 6 in his GCSE - missing a grade 7 by one mark. Most importantly Ollie enjoyed working with Ed and his confidence in relation to maths really improved. Feedback from my son Ollie: Ed is very clear and teaches very well. He plans the lessons carefully and I found going through past papers was incredibly helpful. He was able to help me and explain when I was confused about a topic. I would not have improved my grade without his help. We will always be grateful for Ed's help.

Student feedback: Ed was a very patient tutor who took the time to understand the level I had already achieved and the areas in which I needed further help. I felt I progressed very well under Ed's supervision. Parent feedback: Excellent tutor, who demonstrated patience and understanding. Working well on Zoom to tailor his approach accordingly. Gave my son the confidence he needed on the run up to his GCSEs, helping him to achieve an A* in Maths. Huge promoters and would be happy to recommend.

Ed tutored my son for a period of months leading up to his GCSE. He was extremely patient and supportive and was able to explain how to solve a maths problem in several different ways to find one that best suited my son. I am pleased to say that my son subsequently passed his GCSE and Ed was certainly pivotal to this outcome.

Ed has been professional and flexible. He has greatly helped me to understand and become proficient and confident with the main IGCSE concepts. I will definitely ask Ed to tutor me in future should I need, and I strongly recommend him

Absolutely brilliant tutor! My son who is very shy always really enjoys his sessions with Ed, and has told me that he has learnt so much with him so far, he understands stuff that he couldn’t understand at school. Really pleased that we found him
