About Mel
6 years of relevant experience:
- Amongst many assignments, I tutored tens of GCSE students after school with The Tutor Trust. These students feared they would fail their GCSEs. They lacked confidence and understanding of the concepts. But they were willing to work hard! They improved greatly through our sessions. All they needed was encouragement, regular attainable goals and clear explanations going to the heart of their misunderstandings.
- I was a intern in the Maths Dpt of Chorlton High School for 4 weeks. Children were aged 11-16. I was a teaching assistant but also led full-sized classes on the fun topics of origami geometry and binary numbers. I realised the difficulties children encounter in the chaos of the classroom. They often just want your attention and I learned how to give them the helpful kind.
- Tutoring independently tens of students of varying origins, age and personality, through platforms such as Superprof. Lessons took place in the home and online.

Have you experienced a lack of motivation or confidence in the classroom? Do you fear you have fallen behind and are overwhelmed by concepts ever more complex? Absolutely everybody has the potential to enjoy and succeed at mathematics. I’m a Master's graduate in Maths-turned-superhero whose power is to help you in this endeavour. I’m comfortable teaching for KS3, GCSE and A-level. Also happy to teach all undergraduate level year 1 & 2 units and Pure Maths units for all years.
*** My method ***
In lesson 1, we’ll get to know each other, discuss your needs and set plans. We’ll also do a bit of fun and unusual maths at the end.
Thereafter, I will plan well-structured lessons around your knowledge gaps. We’ll go through the lesson material at your pace. I will answer all your questions with clear and enthusiastic explanations until you are satisfied with your understanding. I can draw analogies and make connections with other topics which will entertain you.
Every 2 or 3 lessons, we will set attainable goals. They will guide you through your learning process and help you to continuously improve.
Along the way, you will gain studying and problem-solving skills. You will find more confidence and enjoyment in the difficult subject that is maths.
*** My key strengths ***
- My experience (detailed below).
- My unconditional love of mathematics and its teaching. I’ve happily spent hours and hours helping fellow university coursemates through homework and revision. I even talk about maths to my friends and family (sometimes against their will).
- My deep knowledge of maths acquired through hard work. Though I had a B in Further Maths A-level, my Master’s year mark was 91%. I know how mentally challenging the learning process is.
- My empathetic personality which has helped me develop strong and long-lasting friendships over my life. I want to see everyone happy and successful.

I found Mel to be an excellent tutor, not only because of his excellent maths skills, but his friendly personality and ability to find out what uniquely motivates each student, and to use that to push them to their full potential. Would fully recommend. Thank you Mel!
For the baccalauréat of our daughter you have been her best teacher ever. Because of you she had a good mark in maths. Thanks Mel for that
Mel was a good intern who worked well with the students. His planning and preparation still needed work by the time Mel left us, however he was only with us for a short time. Given the resources, Mel was able to inspire learning in the students he worked with and generally achieved good outcomes.

Mel impressed the staff at during the internship with his professionalism in seeking support and acting upon it.Mel is an excellent maths tutor. He is able to break down complex concepts very concisely and is very patient. He is very engaging and makes maths fun.
Highly recommended - used him for my A Levels and I even exceeded my target grade!He is one of my uni friends who is really good at mathematics and is sincere in everything he does. He loves math and has a deep understanding of it. He also knows clearly how to teach it. I bet if someone takes his class, anyone will learn a lot of things as well as a deep understanding of mathematics. I’ve seen him about 3 years, and I’ve had a great time talking about math with him. I’d love to take his tuition if I were a student:)
