About Timothy
Hi there and thank you for visiting my page.
For a quick summary of me, check out my video below.
I'm an encouraging, supportive tutor with a fantastic track record. Since 2014, I've helped numerous students gain admission to many top schools.
These include: Westminster, City, Latymer Upper, Eton, Highgate, UCS, The London 11+ Consortium schools, St Paul's and many others.
I believe the key to exam success is building a realistic plan around a child's individual ability and learning style. There should be no great surprises come exam day, and I am particularly good at helping students peak at the right time.
Aside from 11+, I teach other students Maths and English up to GCSE. I also teach undergraduate Architecture occasionally.
If you have any questions, feel free to get in touch. Otherwise, I like forward to meeting you in our first lesson.
Alongside tuition, I make programmes for BBC radio as a freelancer. Feel free to listen to my latest programme on the BBC World Service called 'Nelson Mandela: A Legacy in Music'. At university, I studied undergraduate architecture, and postgraduate screenwriting, winning a BAFTA scholarship to study at Columbia University, New York.

Learning should feel stimulating and fun. While discipline can be necessary, generally I find encouragement to be the most important motivator.
I use a variety of resources, including Atom Learning, Pre-test Plus and ISEB textbooks. I'm also continuously familiarising myself with new changes to independent school exams. These exams are complicated to approach as a parent, and I do my best to make people feel as aware of the process as possible.

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by the students of Timothy.
Perfect! Timothy is a friendly and approachable tutor. He is very methodical and thorough in his approach and sends me a summary of the session so that I can keep track of my son’s progress. He has been flexible when necessary and understanding of my son’s busy schedule. I have no hesitation in recommending him.
Perfect! He seeks to understand his student and is able to provide some very accurate observations after spending a short amount of time with the student.
Perfect! Timothy is an amazing teacher : patient, very good listener , flexible, extremely knowledgeable. My son is 8 years old and wishes Timothy was his school s teacher.
My son has gained self confident and he is enjoying learning with Timothy .Perfect! Tim is a very professional tutor with his great knowledge to explore my son's math interests. very detailed plan for lessons and feedbacks are always provided straight forward after the lesson with very useful homework too.
Perfect! Tim is an excellent tutor. I can only recommend his friendly approach and diligence in preparation for each lesson. His lessons are uplifting and you can rely on him with your child. He has clear communication skills and is able to explain math in an understandable manner.
Perfect! Tim is a great tutor! He was quick to build rapport with my child and to analyse his strengths and weaknesses. He is thorough and methodical in his approach with loads of expertise which makes him very focused. Manages the session very well by using a variety of resources and working on different areas. Would absolutely recommend for 11+ tutoring
- Timothy's response :Benji was creative, friendly and enthusiastic during our lesson. He was happy approaching a variety of tasks. During the comprehension text that we explored, he seemed to absorb the general tone of the passage quickly. As is expected for a boy of his age and ability, he needs more work on detail and inference. He was full of ideas for creative writing, and has great enthusiasm. It is clear he'll need some practice structuring his ideas, and not tripping over himself. Overall, I'm impressed with his start.
Perfect! Timothy is a brilliant tutor. My daughter has been struggling with maths at school and hated the idea of a tutor - after only the first lesson, she was more confident and enthusiastic. Timothy’s approach is encouraging and supportive - exactly what was needed. I would recommend him wholeheartedly.
- Timothy's response :Thank you Emily!
Perfect! Subject : 11+ School Exam Preparation

Subject : Architecture
Outcome : As a result we have covered everything in time, even though I had a very limited timeframe before my deadline.View more reviews

Timothy has recently been tutoring A Level physics for one of our students. The student is progressing well in her studies and is now on course to achieve an A. Timothy's teaching ability is especially impressive in this instance, as the student he has been teaching is from mainland China and is not fluent in English. The student's parents have been particularly impressed by his patience in helping a non-native speaker begin to master complicated content in a language with which she is still largely unfamiliar. They have expressed the highest praise for his ingenuity in finding various ways to explain a particular point when the student's current lack of fluency in English results in her not being able to understand the initial point. From both the parents and Cambridge Star Education Ltd. Timothy comes highly recommended; a really great tutor!
I am a maths teacher in a school in East London. Tim is employed by the school as a tutor. I am very fortunate that Tim was placed to support my class of year 11 GCSE pupils, tutoring the two pupils in my class who were not on track to achieve their target grade.
Tim has had an extremely positive effect on the the pupils he has tutored, both in terms of their attitude and mathematical understanding. His subject knowledge is significantly better than most tutors - few tutors truly know the GCSE syllabus in depth like a teacher would, but Tim uses his understanding of how the marks are awarded to help the pupils score every possible mark.
He also has a remarkable ability to explain concepts to pupils and develop their understanding using very clear language and diagrams / visual prompts.
Lastly, Tim has developed a wonderful rapport with the pupils he tutors - some of whom can be very challenging in their behaviour and apathetic towards maths. He has motivated the pupils to be more independent and most importantly develop a love of maths!Tim did an excellent job of tutoring our son in the required Maths, Science and English needed for his entrance exams. He kept him engaged throughout their lessons, gave him a great deal of confidence in these subjects and was always personable and reliable. I would absolutely recommend Tim to others (and have done!)
Tim inspired an interest in me in maths that I had never otherwise had. He is a very bright person all round and his desire to learn encouraged mine. He created a sense of enjoyment using learning games throughout the lesson as well as taking an interest in me. I would highly recommend Tim as a tutor for the reason that aside from helping me achieve results, he clearly cares and is committed to the progression of his students.
Tim has built upon my existing knowledge of design and taken it to a whole new level. He has explained principles of structure, cladding, services etc in a simple and easily understandable way, and we've applied them in a new design project over several months. He taught me Microstation v8i, and how to render and present my work. This has improved my portfolio so much that I got a job! Thank you Tim!
Despite having only graduated from the course last July, we invited Tim back as a regular guest critic, and he has become a very valuable member of our team. His contribution has been excellent, not only in terms of empathy, and an ability to connect and help our students in terms of design and presentation; moreover Tim's ability to offer rigorous theoretical guidance and reference material has helped to imbue our students with an appropriate sensibility for a career in architecture.
