GCSE & A Level Mathematics Tuition
About
I originally graduated in philosophy at Saint David's University College Lampeter. Later I obtained a first class honours degree in mathematics from London University. I have worked as a maths tutor since 1987, starting out in a private tutorial college in Wales. From 2009 to 2017 I worked as a tutor of AS and A2 level mathematics at an academy in Essex, where I also prepared pupils for STEP. For three and a half years until July 2024 I did a similar job at another academy in Essex.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Robert E.'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.

Robert is an exceptional teacher. My daughter has faced difficulties understanding mathematics for a long time, and the results have not been great. After trying several teachers, I decided to keep searching until I found someone who could truly help her, and I finally found Robert. From the very first moment, my daughter knew he was the teacher she needed. In just one hour, he was able to explain concepts that she had struggled to understand for a long time. Grateful, she told me, "Mom, I love this teacher!" We are very happy and thankful, as thanks to Robert, my daughter has regained her confidence and security in math. Thank you so much, Robert, for your dedication and support! We definitely recommend him to all parents looking for an excellent math teacher.

Robert is a good tutor. However, the method he used didn't really portray the way my daughter is taught in her school. Teaching obviously varies from school to school so what works for one student may not work for another.

Please look no further for a maths tutor. All online which suits us in this current climate. My son has found his Lessons with Robert to be fantastic. He’s going over work that he’s been given in lockdown that he doesn’t understand. Robert is always thinking ahead with ideas about work that should be set. He gives him homework to further in bed his knowledge. Great interactions with parents & students, patient, great knowledge! I would definitely recommend!

Within the few weeks I have received tuition from Robert, my confidence in the subject has already increased greatly. He has a perfect understanding of the entire OCR specification, and is able to explain a number of differing methods to help me find the one that is best for me. Robert is also keen to provide some assistance outside of tutor sessions by email, which I appreciate a lot.

Robert's support in my son's A-levels Maths (Y12) was very helpful. Robert helped him see the exercises from viewpoints that he had not thought of before, and this works well in being able to give my son alternative approaches when his thought-route does not work as efficiently. We did not continue the sessions with Robert because my son wants to work more on test-practicing than one-to-one sessions, but I hope we will be able to have Robert's assistance (given of course that he is available) in the future.

Robert is tutoring my son for A2 Maths via [contact details hidden — unlock to view], which works well. He combines a strong subject knowledge with kindness, patience, flexibility and humour. I am very glad that we found him.

My son only had a few lessons with Robert and already he feels more confident in maths. He was very anxious about having lessons on [contact details hidden — unlock to view] but it’s working fine and saves us a lot of time we would have spent on traveling. Robert is very patient, dedicated and flexible when we need to change timings. I would highly recommend him especially for anxious students.

Amazing tutor, he helped me through my GCSEs all the way to the end of my A levels, and helped me achieve the grades I needed for university. The one on one support was great, and allowed me to adapt to different questions and exams. Highly recommend!
