About Adolf
I am a dedicated Educational Consultant(Mathematics Educator) and a Motivational Speaker (DBS CHECKED) with over 1000 hours' experience in using effective learning styles to help students improve self confidence in primary, secondary and higher level mathematics. I have experience delivering lessons in person, through an online classroom and designing courses for home schooled children. Explaining maths in a simple and uncomplicated manner is what I am all about. I am an Associate Member of the Institute of Mathematics and its Applications (IMA). I graduated from the University of Southampton with an honours degree in Mathematics and then from the University of Portsmouth with a Post Graduate in Mathematics education(FE) after having an exemplary career in the British Army. I also took an Engineering, Physics and Geophysics Foundation Year course at the University Of Southampton. Mathematics, as a subject is very important to me, as we all use it in our day-to-day lives to help us make simple and important decisions (i.e. from buying a pint of milk to buying a car) and that's what makes it a very important subject to learn. I am a full-time tutor. I am very polite, patient, friendly and I strongly believe that everyone can do maths with the right help. It is my passion to help students build their confidence and interest in maths. Having worked with gifted and talented children as well as those who have behavioural, emotional and social difficulties I have experience with all abilities and enjoy finding an approach which works for even the most challenging of students.
Lessons are conventionally and nicely delivered in person or online and being a car driver I am in a well-placed position to travel out to hard to reach places by public transport.
Why am I a full-time tutor?
As part of my Mathematics degree and post graduate education course, I undertook several school placements. I had the opportunity to teach students in two different ways. Of course, I taught students in the normal medium to large size classes, but I also tutored students individually and in small groups. I found that the approaches and skills needed in each of these two situations were very different.
I found that, overwhelmingly, individual and small group tutoring was more beneficial for the student, as well as being more enjoyable personally. As a result, I decided to become a professional tutor.
My experience, together with my qualifications, give me an expert subject knowledge which I have used to help many students reach their maximum potential in what can be a very challenging area.
I am experienced in helping students to overcome exam stress and other barriers to learning.
For special educational needs please ask - I would be delighted to discuss your situation and how I might be able to help.
In my spare time I enjoy travel and over the past few years have visited many exotic locations such as South America, South Africa, and West Africa. Finally, I am a sporty individual and I enjoy watching football and athletic games.

Learning Mathematics:
For a student to be successful in their study of maths, three factors are crucial. These are:
1) Knowledge (of facts and methods),
2) Understanding (of these facts and methods), and
3) Confidence (in using the knowledge and understanding).
If any one of these three is lacking, it is very hard to achieve success in maths. Learning maths consists of applying new ideas and processes to a variety of problems. Until a student's knowledge and understanding of the new ideas and processes reaches a good level, then they will struggle to answer problems correctly, which will in turn make the student less confident. And once confidence is lost, it is easy for the knowledge and understanding to regress.
My Approach To Tutoring:
My approach to tutoring, while being flexible enough to adapt to the needs of each individual, will normally focus on first making sure that a solid foundation of knowledge and understanding is in place, by discussing and attempting problems. Once knowledge and understanding start to build, the student finds more success in tackling problems. In this way, confidence grows and the student is moving along the path to success in maths.
I am experienced in helping students to overcome exam stress and other barriers to learning.
WHAT I WILL DO
I WILL:
1. Plan and execute lessons based on students needs and also based on information from school teachers.
2. Evaluate student performance and communicate results of the lessons to school teachers and parents
3. Maintain records of each tutoring session
4. Create and administer weekly quizzes and monthly tests to track student progress
5. Provide guidance to students to improve academic performance
6. Help students to prepare for tests.

Recommendations
Recommendations come from relatives, friends and acquaintances of the teacher
Not only is Adolf trustworthy but I highly recommend him as a Maths Tutor. My son left school having failed Maths because he didn't understand the principles and his dreams of applying for an Apprenticeship appeared to be over.
I researched and found Adolf who agreed to take him on. Through Adolf's patience and belief in him, he was taught all the principles of GCSE Maths and encouraged to do the weekly homework he set. And there were times when he had to push my son to complete the work but the hard work paid off and he passed the exam.
I cannot thank Adolf enough as now my son has more options going forward.
Shirley JeffersAdolf has only been teaching my son for a short period of time, however, we are seeing an improvement already. Adolf teaches in a way relevant to the student: identifying their learning style and adapting his methods accordingly. Adolf implements the method of repetition to ensure the topic subject is plugged in, this is done very patiently. Adolf is a quiet and kind teacher building the confidence of the student quietly and methodically.
Adolf is so patient, he has helped my daughters confidence in A Level Maths. He has gone the extra mile to help my daughter understand each topic.
She is ADHD so concentrating and learning can be a struggle. But thanks to Adolfs help I am confident my daughter will realize her potential and would highly recommend his services.Adolf is a brilliant teacher who takes tutoring and his student very serious. He has confidence in what he does and is really good at it. He always makes learning maths easy and simple through his way of explaination.
Adolf helped me catch up on University level maths that I fell behind on during the year. He explains everything clearly and methodically. Highly recommended!
Helped me so much with my C3 and C4. Super patient with everything and helped me step by step. I would highly recommend for anyone who is struggling with maths a level. Lessons are flexible which is so great since I can easily arrange a time slot. He really motivates me to do my best so I can not recommend him enough :)
We approached Adolf to help our son with the build up to his A level maths exam in which is needs a high grade in order to get to his university of choice. To date we have had 3 sessions and my son has been very complimentary as to how those sessions have improved his understanding of the topics he has covered with Adolf. In addition I have been very impressed with how organised Adolf is. For instance he always contacts us well in advance of the session to ensure there is a clear topic focus that he can prepare to deliver on the day. His post session feedback on what our son needs to work on has also been very welcome. It also helps that Adolf is a super nice guy!
Adolf taught my twin boys over a two month period in the lead up to their GCSEs. He came to our house everyday.
He was instrumental in giving the boys confidence to tackle their GCSE. He worked diligently on the various topics and his patience and ability to explain complex concepts simply was exemplary. The boys really warmed to his calm and persistent style and he got the very best out of them
I would have no hesitation in recommending Adolf.I'm really happy to be in a position to write a reference for Adolf, who tutored my son for Further Maths AS level. I was impressed by how generous, accommodating and patient he was. He had a real rapport with my 17 yr old son and was able to help him to understand topics that his (well qualified) teachers had not, and more importantly give him back confidence in the subject.
After employing Adolf to tutor my 16 yr old daughter for her Maths GCSE I can say that I would thoroughly recommend him. He's honest, reliable, approachable & really cares with a passion about teaching this subject. Not only has he given my daughter the knowledge required to sit this exam but more importantly he gave her the belief & confidence in herself that she could do it.
Adolf clearly has a great love for maths and is passionate about passing on his knowledge. This is what our 17 year old daughter has to tell, “Adolf is clear and systematic in his explanations. He makes no presumptions as to your abilities but takes the time to be thorough. He makes sure that his students understand, going out of his way to see that they get the most out of his tutoring.”
Adolf has been tutoring my son on a weekly basis in A level maths since the end of January. I have been very impressed with Adolf's knowledge and the way he patiently explains the topics to my son. His conduct is also excellent and my son find Adolf very easy to get along with. I would certainly recommend Adolf to other students.
Adolf is a friendly & approachable tutor. My son gets on well with him & finds his way of tutoring easy to follow. He is quick to answer any queries or problems my son has when not in lessons. Would definitely recommend him.
Adolf was brought in to help my 11yr old son Alfie who has dyspraxia with his maths. I was astonished by his patience and different learning methods. He is very calm and has a perfect approach to teaching. I would 100% recommend him to anyone who is struggling or needs a little help and guidance.

Competent, reliable , trustworthy and dedicated teacher.
able to identify student weakness and strengths quickly,
work on raising student confidence and focus to improve performance.Adolf has been outstanding, from even our first email, I could tell he had a passion for his subject I hadn't felt with other tutors we had been in contact with.
He spoke of tailoring personally for each student and as our son had been out of education for two years I knew it would take someone with the right personality as well as a great knowledge of his subject.
Adolf had a total understanding of our sons needs, he had Jake excited about learning with the confidence he could gain his GCSE.
Adolf is smart and very punctual. He is available via email or text in between tutoring sessions if there are questions or support needed.
He has worked at Jakes pace while pushing him to his potential. Jake always loved maths, it is great to see him once again excited about his education. Adolf's approach to maths for every day living has been so successful as sometimes maths can be 'what's the point of knowing this aspect?' we have had none of this as Adolf helps Jake understand that the foundation of good maths helps in daily life.
We could not recommend Adolf more.Adolf is very smart, professional and reliable.
He has been teaching my daughter maths in a fun way and has directed his teaching method especially to her suit her needs in a way that she understands the subject.
He has recognised that she has potential and that she can do maths by building her confidence and engaging her.Adolf has been tutoring my son for a short while now. The results are starting to show already. Adolf seems to have a very good grasp of maths and to put that across to children in an understandable way. I have every confidence that Adolf will aid my son to achieve a much higher grade in GCSE maths than he would have attained without him. Adolf has always been punctual and polite. I highly recommend Adolf as a maths tutor
Adolf is an extremely patient man who is great at explaining maths in a clear and consise way. My daughter is due to take her GCSEs soon and I am so relieved to have found such a good tutor for her.
After their first sessions, both boys were very happy and both felt they had made good progress.
Adolf has been tutoring my daughter (aged 14).
He has been able to explore different methods to help her understand varous topics. He is very patient and continually checks back with my daughter to ensure that she understands. He has an upbeat approach which is motivating; he also ensures that he explains the subject matter with relevance to every day life.From my experience with Adolf, I can tell you that he is easy going, patient and understanding but he is also qualified and his teaching methods are well developed.
I will not doubt in getting in touch with him again when i need to and i strongly recommend him if you are struggling with maths.
Thank you. Much appreciated..Was taught set theory and functions
Adolf has been my tutor for several weeks, and in that time I have come on leaps and bounds. As an Engineer, my mathematics is already at a fairly reasonable level however my current position has meant that I have had very little practise with many aspects of Engineering mathematics. Due to taking a new position, I felt it prudent to brush up on my skills prior to my new challenge. I am enjoying my sessions with Adolf so much, and learning such effective ways of approaching mathematics that I plan to see Adolf once a week for the foreseeable future. I can not recommend him enough. Anyone keen to learn mathematics from scratch or simply brush up existing skills, Adolf is your man.
His good
I'm a HND Building Services Engineering student at London South Bank University. The maths aspect of my course proved impossible having not done any maths for over 4 years. I am now able to overcome this thanks to Adolf's teaching technics and precise approach. He had to go over the same thing over and over many time with me.
Adolf is no doubt a true genius, he has given me the confidence I lost. He's very friendly and outgoing person and always willing to help. I have Adolf for maths and would highly recommend him as a tutor. He has a great personality and makes his lessons fun. Adolf really knows his stuff. He is always available to help me when I needed him the most.Adolf is a really kind man who is currently helping me with my AS mathematics. He is very helpful and he works at the pace that I want to. I always come out of the session learning something new.
I have found adolf really helpul he is really kind at teaching and very knowledgable.
Adolf is great tutor who takes his time to explain complex mathematical concepts. I use to work with Adolf whiles I was doing my masters degree. My mathematics was not strong so I asked Adolf to help me brush up on my mathematics. He took his time to explain topics I use to struggle with way back in School. He made mathematics very simple and fun for me. Adolf taught me all the maths I needed for my masters degree.
Will definitely Recommend Adolf.Adolf was a colleague of mine at the university. Whenever I had a problem with my exercises, I always knew to who I would turn to. Adolf was always patient and explained everything in a calm fashion. He made everything look easy. He is a good friend of mine and it was a privilege to have graduated in the same year as him
The best you can get when it comes to maths he takes his time to show you the subiect, he is very patient and explain in many different ways to ensure you understand.
Use to be the an enemy of the word MATHS until i met this Adolf..was never good in anything that has something to do with maths so lucky for me Adolf happens to be my senior in school..he sat me down 1day in preps thoughts me the in and out of mathematics within some few hour and the whole mathematic tin became like a simple English speakn language to me within that short period,so i started to get more interesting with it and learning more from Adolf...Am really Lucky n greatful to meet Adolf..keep up with the good work..
Adolf is an individual who knows how to bring the best out of you. I know his work over the last years. His love and enthusiasm for mathematics is extraordinary! With no doubt, I would recommend him as a tutor..
I met Adolf at university and other than a great family man and a caring person he is also an excellent tutor. He helped me understand first year mathematics during my studies and helped me numerous times in my following years.
I recommend him to anyone, regardless of education level or ability in maths.Adolf Nomo was an excellent man who wil use every means to help his team members understand and how to apply those mathematical terms in ur daily activities.
Adolf's love and interest for mathematics is something that i can not use any word to describe.He is that person who has a lot of knowledge across most of subjects including economics, Business management, Accounting, Physics, Chemistry and many more when we were in school together.
Throughout my education with him, i have come to realized that he has got the ability to work efficiently and effectively without compromising on quality within a dedicated and friendly team environment. He always came first in our class when it comes to the best student in maths.He does a lot of research in terms of maths and teaching some of his colleagues which I David am a beneficiary of his maths and accounting tutoring.
He is a very calm and respectful individual, and treats all manner of persons with the same respect irrespective of gender and religion.
Adolf is well experienced in delivering and teaching of maths with excellent communication and with problem solving skills which i can confidently attest to. He is someone who is always confident in establishing, developing and maintaining a good rapport with its students(Clients).
I strongly recommend Adolf to any institution or individual who needs his services in terms of delivering and teaching of maths because, am personally a beneficiary of his maths knowledge and understanding.He was my saviour, hadn't not been Adolf I will never reach where I reach I life. I was the last person in class when it comes to maths but with the kind help and support from Adolf, I was able to make it to the second position when it comes to maths. He took his time to makes sure I understand everything. He is a good teacher and has the love to teach always
Adolf helped me build my confidence in applying the knowledge and understanding of maths. He is relaxed whiles tutoring and does not rush through the explanation of maths concepts. If he tries one way of explanation and it is not understood he always have another way of explaining the same concept that allows me to understand.
Guys , if you are struggling with maths, stop looking everywhere and book Adolf as soon possible.Above all he is very patients with his work.I met Adolf is senior high school. While we where in school (Akwamuman Sen High), he was popularly known for his excellence in Elective maths and Accounting . Although I was a science student, I found a lot comfort confronting him for assistance with elective maths questions. Not only was he affable, but the comfort with which he maneuvered around complex mathematical concepts to explain them to me made him a mentor to me.
Senior Adolf (as we affectionately call him) certainly loves teaching even when it does not appear he will be rewarded for it. I am happy to see him make teaching a career.I was an average student but have much problem in mathematics and all calculation subjects, thanks be to God for ushering a teacher like Mr Adolf into my educational life. His patience to accept all kind of nonsense from students just for us to understand the subject is one among thousand teachers. His approach to the subject will even make you love the subject. I always salute him whenever I enter my class to teach maths.

Quadratic Equations.
He assited us after schools ours to help us when we have challenges in a topicAll areas in Mathematics
Adolf is a brilliant tutor. His explanations are clear and very helpful. He is able to teach a large range of maths topics in a reduced amount time without compromising the high quality of the lessons. His knowledge of maths is outstanding and I`m confident to say that my maths knowledge and confidence when solving questions has exponentially increased with his help. I highly recommend him to any student who wants to understand the principles of maths as he is able to break down the most complex problems for anyone to understand.
i hv come across many maths teachers, but the way and manner Adolf takes his time in teaching maths is different and superb. he will associate it with things around us and make sure u understand it before moving to a different topic. Am soo glad i met someone like him.
BEFORE I MET ADOLF, I HAD PROBLEM IN SOLVING SIMPLE MATHS . BUT WITH HIS KNOWLEDGE AND SKILLS IN THE SUBJECT ,GOOD METHODOLOGY TO IMPACT MATHS CONCEPTS, I CAN CONFIDENTLY SAY I NOW HAVE CONTROL OVER THE MATHS . HIS PATIENT A LONE IS ENOUGH TO DO THE MAGIC.
GREAT TUTOR
Adolf was the best maths tutor i ever met.He made mathematics very easy and understandable.Mathematics became one of my best subjects.He uses different method of teaching and explaining mathematics to make you understand.Adolf has patience in teaching and does not mind going over topics that are very clear no matter how many times he has to do it.He will never leave a topic until it is understood by the student.He is simply the best maths and economics teacher i ever had.
Adolf has was a colleague of mine at the university of Southampton. His ability in maths was second to none and this was consistently reflected on his grades as a first class student and helping other students. I will be happy to recommend him to any student.
Adolf is a very good teacher. I have never been more impressive by his enthusiasm and passion for his craft of teaching especially mathematics, economics and financial accounting. Every
aspect of his teaching is innovative to say the
least; instruction, assessment, interaction,
communication, documentation, administration
and classroom management are just some of
his areas of expertise as far as teaching is
concerned.Adolf was one of the best teachers I met in my senior school level, he made my learn simple as he patiently explains to the class what he teaches. He didn't only teach me maths, he taught me economics and financial accounting as well. He was a teacher who involved he class in teaching and learning activity
Before I met him I had so much problem with maths but after he taught me, all the problems I had all vanish due to his patient and the command he had over the subject made me to me to understand the subject very well. because of that I was able to pass well
He has control over the subjects he taught me. He is very patience and make time for lazy students to understand the topic for the day. I had challenge with economics but when he was reassigned to be economics lecturer, I past economics and maths with ease. I recommend him for any promotion or duty he may apply for.
I had a lot of trouble grasping maths at a level similar to A level mathematics. Adolf was very patient and never gave up on me and tried his best to teach me in the simplest way to solve each problem.
I have benefited vastly from Adolfs help in improving my mathematics abilities and am now working as an engineer.
Once you've been tutored by Adolf you will understand what I mean that Adolf will work hard to help you as much as he possibly can.Adolf got me through my foundation year, first year and second year maths modules which were part of my Electromechanical Engineering degree at Southampton university. An excellent and patient teacher who can make complex topics easy to understand.
As a Civil Engineer student, I got support from Adolf for Maths at Uni. He is very smart in Maths and he was always able to transfer the knowledge to me. I like his patience during teaching and I am admired by the way he has different ways of explanation.
***Highly recommended***HE IS A GOOD TUTOR. HAS A LOT OF PHYSICAL ANALOGY TO EXPLAIN MATHEMATICAL CONCEPTS. HE IS ONLY HAPPY WHEN THE STUDENT HAS A SMILE ON HIS FACE AFTER A SESSION.
Adolf has incredible patience and a tutoring style that always puts you at ease. He always finds a way to put things simply and gradually allowing you to understand a new idea without being overwhelmed. Through repetition and his own persistence he invests so much of himself in insuring the success of his students. Adolf really is a remarkable person not just because of his talent for mathematics but because of his natural ability to communicate ideas and motivate through his contagious joy and enthusiasm for the subject. I honestly cannot recommend Adolf highly enough.
I'm a mature Undergraduate Mechanical Engineering student. The maths aspect of my course proved impossible having not done any maths for over 10 years. I was able to overcome this hurdle thanks to Adolf's patient and precise approach. He had to go over the same things numerous times and was happy to do so.
