About Max

I'm a first-year PhD student at King's College London studying pure maths. I also completed my master's at Warwick University in maths.

Despite all this, maths actually wasn't my strongest subject when I started school. I was lucky to have a few mentors who taught me maths in a way that didn't focus on exams or exam technique at first. They explained the intuitive ideas behind the topics we were learning before we moved on to learning how to answer exam questions.

I want to convey that same idea to any student I work with. I think it's important to know that answering exam questions well doesn't necessarily mean you understand that subject, and conversely understanding a subject doesn't necessarily mean you will do well in exams. It's also worth remembering that many teachers only focus on the exam technique aspect, sometimes at the expense of any understanding.

Any student I have will be taught both of these skills in conjunction. It leads to more confidence in answering exam questions as students then have the subject knowledge and the exam technique.

I have tutored students at GCSE and A-Level before (both in person and online) and I was also responsible for teaching ten undergraduate students in my final year at university. This involved supplementing the teaching for their core modules as well as marking and giving feedback on their assignments.

If you'd be interested in meeting me to ask any questions about me or my teaching style please feel free to get in touch!

About the lesson

I think it's important to remember that understanding a subject and doing well in exams (i.e. exam technique) can be different skills. Therefore, during the first session I would find out where you need or would like the most support. I will ask you where you feel like you need that help, and I will also get you to work through some past paper questions aloud so that I can get a sense of where you are at.

Often in school we get bogged down in the formalities of maths. In subsequent sessions I will try to give an intuitive explanation for the topics we are covering so that you can have a better understanding of what's going on. After the intuition has been explained it's then worth going over how teachers and examiners would want you to answer an exam question on that topic. We will go through a couple of questions together so I can show you what they look for (and so I can give you any tips and tricks I've picked up over the years) and I will then get you to try and answer a couple more on your own, thinking aloud so I can see how your mind is working.

My exam grades have been high at GCSE, A-level, and degree levels, both in maths and in all other subjects. Moreover, I understand what is required of a student to do well in an exam at each level. I would therefore be happy to tutor any students at GCSE level or higher.

I would be happy to meet any students and/or parents for a preliminary (free) meeting so that you can get a sense of what I'm like and my style before any tutoring begins.
