About

For those familiar with the now dead Firsttutors website, please see the latest historical archive from 2019 showing when I had 34 reviews (actually reached 73 before the site went down), with the top five actually readable:

Ed, Wallington Tutor | First Tutors

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 Experience
My teaching experience consists of 15 years spent teaching Maths as a college lecturer and personal tutor.

Summer 2025 tutee results:

Grade 9
Grade 8
Grade 7
Grade 7
Grade 5
Grade 5
Grade 4 (foundation paper)

Summer 2024 tutee results:

Grade 9
Grade 9
Grade 8
Grade 6
Grade 5
Grade 5 (Foundation Paper)
Grade 4 (Foundation Paper)

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

Reviews from First Tutors

4.4 across 5 reviews

Imported from Edward's First Tutors profile before the site went dark. Shown separately from Tutorperch reviews — they don't affect 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 son has an EHCP and needed extra help to get a pass in maths. Ed was brilliant and my son started to feel much more confident about maths. He got his GCSE results this week and passed maths! I would certainly recommend Ed.

    Ed tutored my son Thomas from January 2019 to his maths gcse. He found Ed ready easy to work with and the sessions were organized, following past papers and then focusing on areas where this were unclear. Tom improved two grades from his mock exam in he final result. We are delighted and I would wholly recommend Ed

    What a guy Ed is. We can’t express how instrumental Ed was in getting Ollie form a mock fail to a GCSE pass in such a short space of time. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking to improve their grade.

    Ed helped my daughter between her mocks and actual GCSEs to secure the grade she needed in Maths for entry to sixth form. She also ended up exceeding her predicted grade in science which I am sure was partially due to technique/formulae taught. Ed was always professional and helpful. I highly recommend.
