I’m Nicolas, a specialist tutor with 8+ years’ experience supporting students aged 9–20 at KS3, GCSE/iGCSE and A-Level. I’ve taught 100+ learners across Maths, Further Maths, Sciences, Economics, Business and Computing, helping many move up 1–3 grades with structured, board-aligned teaching. I have strong experience with 11+ and 13+ preparation and with students who have ADHD, dyslexia, Asperger’s and mild autism. I also support international students adapting to the UK system.

Subjects and levels
UG: Mathematics.
KS3/GCSE/iGCSE/A-Level: Maths, Further Maths, Physics, Economics, Business & Computing.
Entrance exams: 11+ and 13+.
University guidance: personal statements and course selection (UG & PG).

Teaching style
Calm, structured and outcomes driven. I focus on understanding so students can handle unfamiliar questions. Lessons follow a simple cycle of explanation, practice and review, with light retrieval and targeted homework to secure retention. I promote clear reasoning and confident communication. For older students I include real-world style problems; for younger learners I break concepts into manageable steps.

Lesson approach
We begin with a brief diagnostic, then a streamlined plan aligned to the exam board. Sessions build steadily with focused practice and concise feedback. Parents receive short progress notes at sensible intervals.

Results and track record
Regular 1–3 grade gains across KS3, GCSE/iGCSE and A-Level. Compact revision programmes with weekly goals and clear checkpoints. Support for selective school preparation, international transitions and SEN learners who benefit from a paced, step-by-step approach.

Practicalities
- Online lessons using iPad, digital whiteboard and curated resources
- Enhanced DBS (Update Service)
- MSc & First-Class BSc – Mathematics and Economics
- Concise reports and a clear route to the target grade
