✸ I am a 37 year-old private tutor of A level Maths & Further Maths and mathematical concepts of Engineering and University entrance exams including the UCAT and Oxbridge Admissions Tests with over 17 years experience. I am both a Mechanics and Statistics specialist and have supplementary sideline specialisms tutoring applicants to Medicine and Dentistry courses and those students intending to sit the Oxbridge Maths and Physics Admissions Tests and the Cambridge STEP and TMUA.
✸ I also work for 3 major exam boards as a question writer, principal moderator and content editor for their education publications (textbooks, revision aids, specimen exam materials, etc.)
✸ I teach in a relaxed, friendly and encouraging atmosphere. Many of my current and former students/parents are also more than willing to provide references for those wishing to acquire further information prior to organising any tuition arrangements.
TUTORING EXPERIENCE:
✸ I work very closely with a number of major exam boards as a Principal Exam Moderator question-writing for A level Maths and Further Maths exams alongside further moderation work marking exam scripts (A level Maths and Further Maths) and question-setting for the UCAT, MAT & TMUA and various other content publications (textbooks) and also for IQ assessment providers.
✸ I have collaborated with a catalogue of education publications and created a library of privately owned Mechanics, Statistics and Pure papers designed specifically to push students beyond the general scope.
✸ I can help greatly with exam technique and provide excellent advice on how to reach exam success from an examiner’s viewpoint.
✸ Year-on-year the majority of my student register typically comprises high-ability students, mostly applying to study Medicine, Dentistry, Maths, Physics, Engineering and Economics. I have a wealth of experience in these spheres and can offer this additional benefit to those prospective students. I do of course welcome all students studying for their Maths/Further Maths A-level(s), whatever they are hoping to do following that!
✸ I have taught from all of the AQA, Edexcel, OCR and OCR-MEI syllabuses within the English system, the French Baccalauréat and the International Baccalauréat - all comprising various mixes of Pure/Core, Statistics and Mechanics branches of Maths and Further Maths (I no longer teach Decision Maths). There are few individuals who can tutor this wide spectrum of qualification-experience and Mathematical subject knowledge & content - even fewer who can offer such further specialisation.
✸ I have tutored thousands of students both in-person and online for many years all over the country and beyond (including France, Germany, Hong Kong, USA and Singapore to name a few) and have successfully seen all of these go off to top Colleges/Universities to pursue their first-choice courses/plans, many typically including top-ranked institutions from Oxbridge and Imperial to the Ivy League.
TUTORING APPROACH:
✸ I am a very encouraging teacher and like to create a relaxed, two-way, convivial environment in which to teach - that in which students learn most effectively. I strongly believe that there needs to be a good rapport between tutor and tutee to establish an effective working relationship.
✸ I adapt my teaching style to suit the personality and ability of individual students - all benefit greatly from a tailored/bespoke, differentiated approach to individual learning.
✸ I continually assess my students by having them reiterate and explain the steps they are taking towards reaching answers. This technique deepens the student's understanding of the method and solidifies their memory of the procedures/techniques required, and inspires confidence in their ability to use said skills in their exams.
✸ I have an excellent record of top tier results from students and maintain all my students year after year until their studies are complete.

Stephen tutored my daughter for A level Further Maths (& some Maths) online this year. He has been exceptional, building her confidence as well as her understanding of how to successfully approach different question types. Years of experience as a question writer/exam moderator means he can explain exactly what is required to gain maximum marks. Incredibly organised & quick to respond. Most importantly, my daughter has really enjoyed the sessions. Wish we'd found him last September!

Stephen has been tutoring my son in A-Level Maths, Further Maths and TMUA preparation. We’ve been extremely happy with his support. My son can be a little too relaxed about studying, but Stephen does an excellent job of keeping him focused and engaged. His teaching is clear, well-structured and encouraging. Stephen is highly knowledgeable and professional, and I would happily recommend him to other parents.

Imported from Stephen 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.

Stephen has proved an excellent tutor for my daughter doing her A level Physics. He has tutored her in her preferred learning style, ensuring she understands the subject and gains confidence in tackling exam questions. My daughter has totally transformed her view of the subject as well as driven up her performance. We were lucky to find him. I cannot recommend him highly enough.

Stephen has been tutoring my son in A level maths for five weeks. My son has told me that Stephen is able to explain complex topics in a very clear way, making them much easier for him to understand. I wish we had found him sooner!

Stephen is kind and accommodating and has clearly structured lessons. He has many resources and questions that I've not seen before and are helping me with my A Level questions. Stephen is a confident teacher and supports me greatly. I would highly recommend him.

Stephen tutored our son for A level Maths and Further Maths. He found Stephen to be an engaging tutor who would adapt his approach to the problem at hand until he had fully grasped the theory and could consistently apply it. Stephen was always punctual and looked to plan ahead for the following session by keeping track of the syllabus plan and providing additional material to complement this. My son would highly recommend Stephen.

In just a few sessions Stephen has increased my son's confidence so much. He now feels he is in a much stronger position to be able to tackle the longer A level maths questions which previously he was intimidated by - I cannot recommend Stephen highly enough.

Stephen has been a massive help to my son who for years struggled with his maths teacher at school which is why we reached out for a tutor. Hopefully the results in august will prove the benefit of having Stephen who is a lovely man that my son engaged with well which was a massive positive in itself! Thank you

My daughter has been working with Stephen on Physics A level topics for a few weeks now ahead of end of year exams. The format is to mostly cover exam questions and talk through the answers. Its like having a really smart friend who has done it all before and who is independent of school! She really benefits from the specific help on how to best answer questions to extract the most marks by using the right wording etc. It has really helped structure her revision too. In her last 2 test she has got A*s so its definitely helping. Look forward to working with Stephen over the next year to support her learning and preparations for exams in Physics, Maths and Further Maths as she looks to maximize her results to apply to her preferred universities.

Stephen is an excellent A-level maths tutor for my son who is in year 13. We asked him to focus on the more challenging questions and my son learns new techniques in every lesson which have improved his speed, ability and confidence. Stephen is also super-organised and responds promptly to messages and queries. Thank you Stephen.

Stephen has been brilliant in supporting Fred with his A Level retakes. He has set a timetable to make sure each topic is covered, sets homework to consolida**Contact Detail Removed**arning, and deals with each subject in a way that is clearly understood. Fred says that he has understood some topics for the first time and that Stephen explains things in a way that his previous teachers had been unable to. We are half way through the revision timetable, and so far I am extremely happy.
