Mr Brian H.
Primary and Secondary Maths Tutor with 11+ years of experience
About
My name is Brian, I had a successful career as a mathematician writing the software that planned FreeView. As a hobby I write software that uses Neural Networks and Genetic Algorithms to help solve difficult science and enginerring optimisation problems.The software can also act as a controller for other types of projects.
I plan lessons around individual's needs, tracking and responding to work appropriately. By the end of Primary School, students have grapsed the neccessary abstract mathematics. I focus on Language and Structural Layout as exam techniques to link mathematical ideas with learning.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Mr'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.

Brian has been an excellent tutor in every respect; extremely well prepared, dedicated and flexible. My son struck up an excellent working relationship with him and I couldn't rate him more highly. We have recommended him to several friends and would happily do so again. My son gained an A/7 at GCSE, something he could not have done without Brian's individually tailored work schemes. Thank you Brian.

Thank you for your encouraging words, they are very much appreciated. Working with your son has been a most rewarding time for me too. I hope to have the opportunities to continue offering the highest level of personal tuition that I can. Thank you for your encouraging words, they are very much appreciated.

Brian accepted to teach but then decided not to teach which is unprofessional but at the same time he also contacted First tutors to clarify his situation so that I could apply for a replacement tutor. I cannot comment on his teaching skill because I have not seen him tutoring my son even for a single session
Mr Brian H. replied
As I am used to only teaching Pure Maths, it was an oversight and human error on my part that I did not clarify this. The client wanted tuition in Further Maths, which I can provide (given that it is Pure Maths), however what was not clarified was that Statistics modules were also required. At that time I was not in a position to offer this and did everything I could to help the client secure another tutor at no extra cost to them. From my correspondence with First Tutors on this matter, that was something they were happy to do, and rightly so. I think it a bit harsh to call my decision not to teach unprofessional, I believe, given the oversight and human error, it was the correct thing to do.

Brian is very dedicated always on time, I learned a lot from him and he helped me through my A2 exams. I will strongly recommend him to any one.

Thank you Aleesha, it helped greatly that you were a delight to teach. The home-made cakes helped too of course :o)
