About
I am a retired Chartered Engineer with degrees in both Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering. I worked as a Maths Mentor in a Leicester state school for a number of terms following retirement and I have enhanced DBS clearance.
I have 10+ years’ tutoring experience, both face-to-face and online. Currently, I offer online tutoring only.
As a Chartered Engineer, I worked in the power generating industry for approximately thirty five years and during that time, the use of mathematics within a practical context was an integral part of my work. I am a member of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications and the Institution of Mechanical Engineers and am well placed to understand the relevance and importance of mathematics and the difficulties which arise in its interpretation and application.
My enjoyment of mathematics developed throughout my engineering career and my time as an Open University student gave me first-hand experience of dealing with mathematical topics which, at first sight, appear difficult to understand.
Following retirement, I worked for a number of terms in a Leicester secondary school as a Maths Mentor. My role supported that of the full-time teaching staff by working one-to-one and in small groups with Years 12 and 13 GCSE resit students, Year 11 GCSE and AS level students.
In my private work, I am/have been working with students studying general numeracy, QTS numeracy, Functional Skills, GCSE/IGCSE (Foundation and Higher; Years 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 plus Year 12 resit), National 5, Level 2 Further Mathematics, Year 1/AS level and Year 2 A level (AQA, Edexcel, OCR, CAIE, SQA, WJEC and CCEA). The majority are/have been school/college based with others being mature students and home-schooled.
In recent years, most requests from parents/guardians have been for students in years 7 to 11 and so my timetable is focused around this area of study. This is why, currently, I am advertising secondary and GCSE only. Occasionally, students with whom I have worked at GCSE level request support for AS and A level study, and I offer what I have available at that time.
I listen carefully and encourage tutees to ask questions so misunderstandings can be addressed. Together, we identify gaps in knowledge and focus on these areas to improve understanding and learning.
I encourage tutees to have confidence in their own abilities.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Greg'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 two daughters find the lessons very useful and helpful. We are very happy to have such a good teacher. Gregory’s teaching method is very clear and easy to understand, which has really helped them build confidence in maths. I hope my daughters will do very well in their GCSE exams thanks to his support and guidance.

Greg is amazing! He made my child to go from a predicted 4 in her GCSEs to an actual 6 on her results in a period of only 3 months. That’s why we’re working with him again.

My son has had a few sessions now with Gregory and things seem to be going very well. I wish we had got a tutor for my son sooner as his GCSEs are rapidly approaching. My son tells me that the lessons he's had so far with Gregory has helped him with his mock exam. Gregory is very calm and supportive. He works through the lesson in a very patient and structured way regularly checking on my son's understanding. He follows up with a print-out of the lesson and GCSE worksheets for my son to work through to consolida**Contact Detail Removed**arning.

Greg is a really patient and supportive tutor. My son is finding the sessions extremely helpful. He explains how to work through problems clearly and encourages my son to think independently about solutions. We are very pleased with his progress so far.

Initially my son really did not want to pursue maths tutoring but managed to convince him on a temporary basis. Since meeting Greg, my son has loved every tutor session with him and adapts to his fantastic teaching style. He understands everything Greg is teaching him as he explains all lessons clearly and with great patience. As parents we can see our son thriving thanks to Greg. We highly recommend Greg as a maths tutor. Thank you so much Greg.

Greg has been absolutely excellent. Enough structure to help move things in the right direction when met with a metaphorical shrug from my son about what he's finding most difficult, and relaxed enough to follow the things that need extra attention at the time without being rigid. Greg's pacing is excellent and his explanations are always very thoughtful and easy to follow - my son has made meaningful progress (and, most surprisingly, after his first session he said "that was actually fun!" - which is high praise indeed from a 15 year old who only really has any interest in football otherwise, and certainly has never been a fan of maths!)

Greg is a great teacher: he has made Maths fun, tailored the lessons to my son's pace, and explained everything in a way which my son found easy to understand. I already see an increase in my son's confidence, and couldn't recommend Greg more highly.

We love working with Greg! My daughter has gained the confidence she needed in maths and enjoys working with Greg. He’s made a big difference on her.

I would 100% recommend Greg. My daughter was really low in confidence with maths and he has helped her no end. She was always resistant to having a tutor as thought it was just bringing more schoolhouse but she has found it incredibly useful. I never thought I'd be able to say she enjoys a maths lesson, but she does!

My son is really enjoying his lessons. Greg is absolutely great with him and as a fellow teacher I am extremely happy with how Greg structures the lessons and empowers my son to progress. Greg has gone beyond the level of help we originally requested as he has made the lessons tailored specifically to my son (he is home-schooled and the lack of this ability to progress within schools was the primary reason he was removed). I thoroughly recommend Greg!!

James is enjoying your maths lessons. He has mentioned that he feels more confident in maths and finds your teaching style really helpful and informative. It's wonderful to see him so engaged and positive about the subject. I am hopeful that by continuing these lessons, his confidence will keep growing at school, and we will start to see an improvement in his grades.

Gregory has been helping my daughter for the last couple of months with her GCSE maths. He has been great at giving her the confidence to tackle her maths without fear. She enjoys her lessons with him and she is feeling much more confident about her exams knowing that she can ask Gregory for help and have that extra bit of care and explanation given on the topics she struggles with.

Greg has been supporting my daughter with maths tuition for the past couple of weeks and I cannot recommend Greg highly enough. My daughter is very receptive to Greg’ tutoring style and already I can see a difference in her confidence. It is also very helpful to receive a follow up email including the lesson plan after each session. Thank you Greg!

Greg has been helping my son in Math for a month now and we are very grateful for the support. So far so good and believe it will continue for longer. Maxim is enjoying his lessons with Greg. Greg is organised, punctual and shares lesson notes and homework at the end of the lesson. Highly recommend!
