About Ollie
Hello! After studying maths at university, I qualified as a maths teacher and I’ve been teaching in schools/tutoring privately for over 10 years now. As a private maths tutor, I always aim to offer a far more professional, dependable and thorough service than is usually otherwise available.
I’d be very keen to have an initial meeting with you (completely free of charge and no obligation whatsoever). You can then tell me what you’re looking for in terms of tuition. I’ll explain exactly how I can help and I’ll happily answer any questions you might have. I’ll also gladly provide you with proof of my qualifications, an enhanced up-to-date DBS criminal record check and references from former employers/clients. Below is a summary of my qualifications/career up to now. Please feel free to contact me anytime and I’ll get straight back to you without delay...
• As a student, I sat Maths GCSE a year early and achieved an A*. I then went on to study Additional Maths GCSE, Maths A Level and Further Maths A Level before studying Maths at university.
• I won the top award (gold award) from the UK Mathematics Trust in both the Intermediate and Senior UK Maths Challenges, both of which I sat a year early.
• I was awarded a place in the Gifted and Talented Academy (University of Warwick) based on my mathematical ability.
• I completed the Graduate Teacher Programme for which I achieved the highest grade of 'outstanding' for my final overall grading. I’ve since taught maths in 2 secondary schools, both of which rated as ‘outstanding’ by Ofsted.
• I was appointed as a Key Stage 2 Transition Coordinator - a role in which I set up and helped deliver a maths booster programme that raised attainment significantly across 6 primary schools.
• I've delivered over 3000 hours of private tuition to date which has included helping students successfully obtain places at Russell Group universities including both Oxford and Cambridge. I've also tutored graduates and successfully helped them score highly in the GRE and GMAT exams as part of their MBA/PhD application process to Ivy League universities including Harvard.
• With respect to the 11 Plus and entrance exams, I’ve helped students successfully obtain places at high-ranking selective secondary schools (Graveney / Tiffin / Wallington / Wilson's / Sutton Grammar / St Paul's Boys' / St Paul's Girls' / Alleyn's / Dulwich College / James Allen's Girls' / St Dunstan’s / Emanuel / King’s / Whitgift / Trinity / Royal Russell / City of London / Streatham & Clapham / Sydenham / Putney / Latymer Grammar / Woodford County / Bancroft’s / Forest / Chigwell). Some of the students I’ve tutored successfully obtained academic scholarships and bursaries because of the exceptional mathematical ability that they were able to demonstrate in both the exam and the interview. The parents of these students have said they're more than happy to provide you with a reference directly.
If there’s anything else you’d like to know at all, please do feel free to ask. Hope to hear from you.
Thanks,
Ollie

Review
All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Ollie.
Perfect! Ollie is a super friendly and capable tutor. He has been working with my daughter for the past few months and we have seen remarkable progress in her mathematical abilities.
He is highly recommended.- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Ollie is a fantastic tutor who provides feedback following the sessions. He is incredibly motivating and makes an effort to individualize his lessons in order to bring the best out of a student. I would highly recommend Ollie.
- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Ollie's a fantastic tutor! Sessions are very interactive and his communication's are quick! Would recommend to anybody looking to improve their fundamentals in GCSE maths
- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Ollie will explain a topic in different ways to find the one that makes it click in my daughter’s mind. He is energetic, funny and approachable and most of all knowledgeable. We’re so happy he could make space in his busy schedule for us!
- Ollie's response :Superb student!
Perfect! Excellent tutor! Very friendly and explains things perfectly! Very pleased with lessons so far.
Perfect! Ollie was brilliant with my daughter and the communication is absolutely fantastic.
- Ollie's response :Superb student!
Perfect! Ollie is one of the best if not the best tutor our son has ever had. He impressed us from the first day and that has never changed. He was happy to talk to us for an hour to find out what we wanted from the lessons. He told us how he would teach our son but was willing to listen to our suggestions and adapt his teaching methods. I don't think I could ever find any other tutors who would accept to mark 30 pages of a maths book before every lesson. He doesn't even use the lesson time for marking!
It's not just his hard work and commitment that we love. He's a great maths teacher too. Within the first lesson, he already found our son's level in maths. It sounds easy but his school teachers didn't seem to know. That is not to say the school teachers are not good but it's hard to know his level is a few years ahead.
Our son really likes to learn with Ollie. He finds the lessons challenging and exciting. Ollie doesn't just simply give him a worksheet or paper but only chooses a few questions that are good for him from his large number of resources. When our son gets a question wrong, Ollie doesn't just solve it but asks questions until he can do it himself.
Last but not least, Ollie always updates his progress after each lesson. I really don't know how someone as busy as him can find the time to do all of that; he even talked to us when we wanted a video call! We are really lucky to have him as our son's tutor.- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Ollie adopts a methodical teaching approach ensuring that the student fully engaged in the subject. He is excellent at providing feedback and boosting the confidence in his students. I would recommend him as a tutor.
- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Ollie is an excellent maths tutor who explains concepts clearly and patiently and seems to also make maths fun for young students. My students really like him and we will definitely book him again
- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Ollie is a wonderful tutor. Within months, he was able to get my daughter to level 9 in maths. He has helped build her confidence in the subject, and inspired the brilliance within her to shine.
Ollie is clearly well experienced in Mathematics. He assess students thoroughly and is very honest with managing your expectations.
I would recommend (and have) Ollie any parent.- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Ollie is absolutely amazing, and my son just adores his style of teaching and how he approaches the subject. We could not be happier. We discovered Ollie in the midst of 11+ prep and he turned out to be a real gem. He makes my son so excited about Math and he cannot wait to join his next class with Ollie. (My son was not a massive Math fan before) We used to meet very uninspiring teachers who made Math as a real chore to study. Ollie made a huge change to my son's perception of the subject. He absolutely loves it! With Ollie's help my son got through his 11+ and now received his top choice school offers. We will continue using Ollie's services post the exam prep as my son enjoys his lessons with him so much. Absolutely amazing and inspirational teacher and would recommend to anyone.
- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Ollie is an excellent teacher. He is very engaging and responsive. My sons enjoys lessons with him and looks forward, eagerly, to his weekend Math session with Ollie. My son has thrived under Ollie's teaching and guidance. His interest and confidence in Math has grown by leaps and bounds, as reflected by his recent grades.
One of the things that stands out for Ollie is his excellent feedback after each lesson. He is an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend him.- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Mr Ollie is a very patient, highly responsible, competent and enthusiastic Maths teacher. With his guidance, my daughter has strengthened her confidence in GCSE maths. Much appreciated his cordial teaching and support to her!
- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! My daughter Libby has been having lessons with Ollie for the past four months, leading up to her GCSE this summer. Before Libby started she was lacking in confidence and was concerned she may not get the grade needed to stay at her school. Working with Ollie has turned things around, and Libby's feeling so much more confident in her maths ability and her recent grades reflect this. Libby really enjoys her lessons with Ollie, he is engaging and encouraging and very easy to get along with. I've been really impressed by the amount of feedback we get from Ollie on how Libby is doing and what topics they are covering. Both of us would definitely recommend Ollie, we think he's an excellent tutor and a really nice person.
- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Ollie has helped tutor our son with GCSE maths for the past 5 months. He is a truly the best teacher and coach we could have hoped for.
A real Maths enthusiast and genius in the art of teaching. Ollie is approachable and patient, managing to develop a firm bond with our son to make his lessons extremely enjoyable. He frequently brings the subject of maths alive by using real life examples. As a result, he has quickly increased our son’s confidence and ability in maths; also his predicted target grade.
Ollie offers multiple approaches to learning, ranging from past papers to specific topics that his students find challenging.
He uses helpful tools to annotate and work through maths problems, so students build a strong understanding on different levels across all topics in the syllabus.
Ollie provides regular updates to parents explaining the topics that have been covered and how the students have managed, what they found difficult and offers recommendations on how to further develop their ability.- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Ollie is a naturally gifted Mathematician. He grasps all mathematical concepts with ease and is able to explain them in a simple way that my 12 year old child understands. My child is a visual learner and lacked confidence to begin with. Ollie has adapted his classes to suit her visual learning style and has built up her confidence. She looks forward to her classes with him and wishes he were her permanent school teacher! My daughter has gone from being the lowest in her set to the highest. Ollie has a very positive, encouraging and engaging style. He communicates very clearly and because he has such a good grasp of the subject, is able to explain things in different ways until the student understands. Thank you so much! We really appreciate your continued support.
- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Excellent tutor. Flexible, encouraging, adaptable to the pupils needs, great at explaining problems. My son’s been very happy.
- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Very pleased, excellent tutor. Patient, thorough, enthusiastic, passionate, skilled, clear, kind, knowledgeable. So many positive synonyms and it’s early days as just started tutoring. Many thanks Ollie!
- Ollie's response :Brilliant student!
Perfect! Ollie is a fantastic and enthusiastic maths tutor - he has helped my son understand some of the more challenging concepts and advanced topics. He is well organised, thorough and engaging. We feel very lucky to have found Ollie as it’s given my son more confidence and we’ve already seen some promising results in the short time he’s had Ollie as a tutor. So far he achieved a 7 in his mock result, but is now aiming for 8/9.

Perfect! Truly Amazing Maths Teacher
My search for a tutor came when my son seemed to be losing his confidence in maths. I was looking for someone who could inspire him to enjoy learning Maths again and also prepare him for 10+ Exams.
I came across Ollie’s profile and I am so glad that I did! Ollie is extremely, flexible, personable and by speaking to him you can hear has a true passion for teaching and maths.
Within a day Ollie took the time to learn about my son and his learning style. Following this he gave me an extremely detailed but simple plan and strategy on how we would reach our goals. Ollie suggested homework and discussed how much would be appropriate for our schedule.
On the first lesson I was delighted to hear that Ollie incorporated my son’s interests in to the lesson (coding/football). He was extremely encouraging and patient and made the lesson fun.
Fast forward to now, my son enjoy’s his lessons and most importantly is beginning to believe in himself where maths is concerned.
2 friends with children between early secondary school and GCSE are now using Ollie and are very happy.
If you are looking for a maths tutor please look no further. I wish more teachers were like Ollie!

Perfect! One in a million
Ollie tutored our eldest in years five and six and the results were dramatic and not just in maths: her general logic and reasoning was impressive. She was a good student already but Ollie brought out the best in her and she got a very high score in her SATS. Now her sister is being tutored by Ollie for year five (continuing into year six) and having said she did not get maths, nowenthusiastically shouts out all the answers to Ollie online. Ollie himself is always cheerful, child-centred and knows how to get the best out of young children. They are both much more confident in their abilities, which is a pleasure to see.

I have used tutors before but none have been as brilliant, patient and relatable as Ollie. My son has for the first time in years told me that he enjoys Maths. This is fully accreditable to Ollie. Thank you for the lasting impact you have made!

Outcome : Big improvements in his grades so far and am sure he will do well in his GCSE next year.Perfect! Fantastic tutor and great to work with
Ollie has really helped me over the last month with my maths. I am a young adult looking to improve my core maths skills for business purposes and so was looking to dip into the relevant parts of the GCSE and A2 syllabus. His teaching experience means that he always explains things clearly and, whenever necessary, provides analogies or alternative scenarios which help with explanations. He is incredibly patient too, which is very helpful when tackling some of the more difficult topics which take students a little longer to understand. Ollie also provided a large number of very useful crib sheets and maths exercises to practice from.
I would thoroughly recommend him to students (or their parents) as well as professionals looking to improve their core maths skills.

So far, Oliver has been great. Very professional, good time keeping and my daughter states that Oliver has helped her understand Maths better and has boosted her interest in Maths. Oliver prepares for the sessions in advance bringing along past papers and setting work for Nia to do in between sessions. Oliver is clearly a very experienced teacher and tutor. I would recommend him to others who may need support with Maths. We are very grateful and anticipate more tuition support from Oliver. Many thanks. Fran

Ollie is an absolutely brilliant maths tutor! He helped me to obtain the top score in my recent exams. He is excellent at explaining maths topics in ways which make them far more accessible. Ollie is thoroughly reliable and I would highly recommend him.
It is my great pleasure to highly recommend Oliver as a Maths tutor.
I started my classes with Oliver this year, as I plan to take the GRE test as part of my PhD application and need help with the quantitative reasoning section of the test. I am applying for placement at Ivy League institutions and although my field isn't Maths, I need to be confident of getting outstanding results in all sections of the test.
Oliver matches his passion for teaching with great expertise, exceptional lesson preparation and a clear and easy to follow methodology.
His classes are infused with energy and humour, and the love he shows for his subject matter made Maths surprisingly fun to me.
He is always on time and unfailingly has the patience to break down concepts and go over them several times for me.
Although I am still preparing for the GRE, I know Oliver's help will be invaluable on exam day.
I could not recommend him more.
BiancaOllie helped my son with his Maths work in preparation for his SATS.
Ollie really gave my son the confidence boost he needed and with it being 1 to 1, it was for good for him to be able to talk to an excellent tutor about his Maths problems.
I would highly recommend him.I have always struggled with maths! Oliver was really helpful and explained things in a way I could easily understand. I only had a few lessons with him, but without his help I don't think I would have passed! I would definitely recommend him!!!!!!!!
Oliver is an amazing maths teacher who knows how to help his students prepare for exams or assignments very well. He is very professional and very kind , he makes his students feel comfortable whilts learning maths. I thought I would never pass this test and he gave me all the tools to pass it. I do recommend Oliver because he is a really good teacher.
Oliver was a great tutor to our two boys. He made them feel at ease, and they looked forward to his sessions. They were sad when Oliver moved to London. After only a few sessions our son moved up a set in maths. I would highly recommend him for tutoring.
It is an absolute delight to recommend Mr Ollie Wilsea to you. He was asked to tutor my friend's daughter. He is a good math teacher who motivates and
engages his students in the subject. He respects their individuality and is able to effectively engage them by treating teaching and learning as a collaborative process and by showing his students that their thoughts and opinions are valued.My son was struggling with his GCSE Maths and hadn't had much luck with other tutors. He clicked with Ollie who was really patient. He really believed in my son and gave him the confidence as well as the knowledge to go on and pass his exam. We were both so pleased and I can not praise Ollie enough.
