✸ 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.

Reviews from First Tutors
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.

I found Stephen through first tutors and have been very pleased with his teaching style and lesson planning. My daughter is doing A level Maths and Stephen identified the weak areas and helped boost her confidence. After every lesson we get a concise feedback and a thorough report on knowledge gap and progress. I would certainly recommend Stephen.

Stephen, has excellent knowledge and many useful tips for exam success. My son tells me he is patient and courteous and above all else knows his stuff!! My son is sitting an A level for an odd board so finding someone that knows what we need to know has been a god send. Thanks Stephen we may be back for my younger one too!

Stephen has supported my son through the entirety of his a-level maths and further maths. Stephen has really helped my son stay on top of the curriculums throughout and iron out tricky areas early on. Happily his exams have so far gone well and he appears to be on track to achieve his predicted A*/As. Stephen's input has been invaluable on this. He is also very personable, and organised so an easy effective person to work with. Well worth the money. thank you Stephen.

Excellent! Stephen has given my son so much confidence and explains everything clearly. We receive feedback and targeted learning plans. Wish we had found Stephen sooner! A huge thank you!

Stephen responded promptly to my initial query and took time to engage with me about my son’s needs before I made my decision on choosing the right tutor. Stephen started tutoring my son in a ‘rescue’ situation after poor performance in Y12 exams and his intervention was absolutely key in ensuring that my son passed his resits and was able to transition to Y13. Stephen has been tutoring my son since then (he’s sitting his A levels now), we’ve done both in-person and remoContact Detail Removedssons and we’ve been happy with how both those formats have worked, once some tech issues (our end) had been resolved. He’s been flexible and understanding when we’ve had to reschedule lessons due to events outside of our control. I’m happy to recommend.
