About
Tutoring has been one of the most rewarding experiences I have had over the last five years. There is nothing quite like taking on a new student, watching their confidence grow, and helping them unlock opportunities for their future. Hearing feedback from students and parents – whether it's how much they enjoyed a session or that they achieved a new top mark – is a wonderful reminder of why I love teaching. Having recently completed my degree, I am excited to dedicate even more time and focus to delivering the highest quality support for my tutees.
On a personal note, I spent six years growing up in Uganda, an experience that gave me a real appreciation for the value of education. Raised in a "maths household", I’ve always loved the subject and pursued it to the highest academic level – recently graduating with a First Class Degree (with Distinction) in Mathematics & Statistics, alongside achieving two awards for my final-year research project. Beyond tutoring, I am now pursuing my own goals in the field of Statistics as I look to combine my love of maths with my second passion – Football.
From GCSE fundamentals to advanced degree-level modules, my goal is to make complex mathematics clear, manageable, and engaging. By combining high-level subject expertise with a patient, practical approach, I ensure every student leaves our sessions feeling confident and inspired to reach their full potential.

Reviews from First Tutors
Imported from Leo S.'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 would strongly recommend Leo for anyone needing support with GCSE or A Level maths. He helped to make subjects that had previously seemed confusing for my daughter, understandable and was there every step of the way in the final year of her pure and applied Edexcel A level maths course. He clearly knows his subject and is able to communicate this really well. He is organised, professional and always on time. If you need support at maths, do contact Leo, he is an excellent tutor.

Leo is very methodical & calm in his approach which helped my son & daughter improve in confidence and achieve a result they were very happy with. Leo is a truly lovely person and very approachable. He imparted not only his knowledge but exam techniques and helped with revision planning at both GCSE and A levels, My son will continue to seek Leo’s support at university with his maths units… Thankyou Leo for your support & efforts.
