"New concepts are introduced and understood before they are given a special name, which takes away a lot of what makes learning maths intimidating. Even if I come across something I have never seen before, I feel confident applying the same underlying principles to figure it out.
I’m so glad that I decided to give maths another try and approached Paul to help me. I highly doubt that I would be thinking of calculus as something fun and enjoyable had I learnt it in a classroom setting. I wholeheartedly recommend Paul to anyone at any level!"
Isabella, A-level Intensive Course
After 23 years of success, I am now able to offer a one-to-one course that is designed around you.
We have an initial meeting where we discuss your maths background, issues and goals. I will then perform an assessment to discover where your strengths and weaknesses lie. I can then design a course tailored to you to maximise your understanding of maths and thereby receive a high grade.
We will agree upon a location and date for the course. This can be at your home, or online. Before it begins I will teach you for 2 - 4 hours* in order to ascertain what mathematical ability you have. From this I will let you know what grade I believe you can achieve. Once we agree upon this, I will then guarantee you will receive that grade.
The GCSE course is 5 days, 6 hours per day. A-Level is 14 days. These don't have to be done 'in a row' but over weekends within one month to 6 weeks, as required, or whatever is convenient to you.
The materials required will be entirely provided by me. These will include:
The course follows my new, highly innovative and successful way of doing maths that will have you smiling and laughing. There is no anxiety and no fear.
Every method and concept is taught in a more advanced and easier to understand way than traditional school class orientated and robotic techniques with an emphasis on:
- an absolute minimum of jargon
- responsibility for understanding entirely placed on my shoulders
- a holistic approach to the whole course that is thought through to the tiniest detail
- easy to use methods that are easy to remember.
The number of 'penny-drop' moments and 'scales falling from your eyes' realisations are so numerable that it's hard not to laugh along!
The course will cover the new GCSE specifications as of 2017.
Just a few of the innovations include:
For the A-Level course, it is all of the above plus
Once we've met and you've decided you'd like to go ahead with the course, we will decide on the date it will take place and where. A 10% initial deposit is payable. The remainder is due one month before the course start date.
Once the course is finished, I will give unlimited support via online lessons and marking to ensure you are at the level necessary. These will cover exam technique, consolidation of concepts and fluency checks.
Although meeting face to face is great, it can be logistically difficult and sometimes it may be easier to do it online. In this case I offer a reduced fee as I don't require travel or accommodation. Please see details below.
The course must be taken at least 2-3 months before the actual exam to ensure enough time to consolidate, revise and adapt to the new approach. If the course is taken with less time than this before the exam, I cannot guarantee the grade.
