I started tutoring in Plymouth where I lived for some time after graduating at Southampton University. I have now moved away, nearer to London, but have continued to tutor. I tutor a mixture of face-to-face and online lessons here, but still see students from Plymouth with online lessons. I have experience of working in secondary schools but have now chosen to tutor full-time.
I have been tutoring since 2007 with students from ages 5 to 50; however, I mostly help teenagers with their SATs, GCSEs and A levels in all of the three core subjects: maths, science and English. I often see a student through all these exams, providing stability and continuity for these sometimes-stressful times.
I thoroughly enjoy my subjects, getting to know my students and enabling then to enjoy learning and the results of greater understanding; my aim is to increase everyone’s understanding of everything!

“Tim tutored my son with his IGCSE English Language revision. And his predicted grade C rose to an actual grade A! Excellent job!” Rupert Murphy
“Tim has been helping me since October 2018. I am studying for A-levels and Tim helps me with biology, maths and chemistry. He is very flexible and willing to go through whichever subject I need help with at the time. Tim is patient, approachable and very knowledgeable. I was a bit unsure about Skype to start with but met with Time in person to make sure that he was someone that I could work with and visa versa and to discuss what I was working towards and what I would like to gain from our lessons. Skype has been brilliant as it is convenient for both of us, especially as sometimes when I get in, I would struggle to get to a lesson on time if I had to travel to get there and this way I don’t forget anything. I would very much recommend Tim.” Susan Brachet-Smith
“Tim has been supporting our son Alex to help him get through his CE studies and subsequent exams. Alex passed with great grades! Tim is a very knowledgeable, easy going, warm and engaging tutor, and our son got on with him amazingly well. Extra tuition did not become a bore-chore thanks to Tim. Great guy – highly recommended.” Evie Slater
“Tim has helped my son gain a fantastic grade in his recent scholarship exam. Excellent.”
