About Joseph
Hi, I’m Joseph, a friendly and approachable maths tutor with a Master’s and PhD in Mathematics. I’ve spent six years teaching at university and love working with students of all ages and abilities. My passion for tutoring comes from helping students really get the subject—not just learn methods, but understand how it all fits together. I want to help students click with the abstract ideas that often make maths feel confusing. Outside of teaching, I enjoy watching football and going to music festivals—I’m not just about the textbooks!

I focus on helping students develop a genuine understanding—not just learning how to follow a method, but seeing how and why it works. My sessions are interactive and conversational: we’ll go back and forth with questions, examples, and discussion to make sure you’re actively thinking and making connections. I encourage students to talk through their reasoning so we can catch any misunderstandings and build confidence from the ground up. Over a series of sessions, this approach helps ideas stick—not because you've memorised steps, but because you understand how the concepts fit together. That’s the key to making progress and not forgetting what you’ve learned. Lessons are typically 60 minutes and can take place online or in person. I use screen sharing and live annotation to work through problems, explain ideas visually, and keep things as clear and engaging as possible. I tailor lessons to each student depending on their goals and starting point. Whether you’re preparing for a GCSE, A-Level or university entrance exam, looking for support during your maths degree, or just want to feel more confident with the subject, I’ll help you take the next step. I’ve tutored many GCSE students, and I have six years of university teaching experience. I also have a Master’s and PhD in Mathematics, giving me a deep and broad understanding of the subject.

Joseph is probably the best teacher I've worked with. Having worked alongside him throughout the course of our respective PhDs at the University of Sheffield, I’ve seen first-hand the positive impact he has had on his students and their learning.
He excels at explaining mathematical concepts in clear and concise ways, making even the most challenging topics accessible and interesting. He has always established great working relationships with his students, and I know his students found him to be both approachable and supportive. In our second year at Sheffield together he was given the award for best postgraduate teacher, as voted for by the undergraduate student body.
Joseph is passionate about teaching and voluntarily took on many teaching roles during our time at Sheffield, including leading classes, marking, lecturing, and one-to-one supervision of undergraduate research projects. He always devoted a lot of time and attention to his preparations for these teaching activities. Whenever I needed a colleague to cover one of my own classes, Joseph was always the first person I asked, because I knew my students responded very well to his engaging teaching style.
I think Joseph’s skills, experience and attitude towards teaching make him exceptionally well-suited to this role, and I recommend him without hesitation.Joseph has volunteered with Action Tutoring from 30/04/2025 to 18/06/2025. Action Tutoring provides volunteer tutors to work with pupils preparing for GCSE exams or Key Stage 2 SATs in schools across the country and Joseph has volunteered as a maths tutor for an hour a week at King Edward VII School, Sheffield.
Joseph supported two pupils and worked closely with them, devising lesson plans and activities, working to build both their subject knowledge as well as their confidence and study skills.
Joseph's help has been very much appreciated by the school and has provided a wonderful opportunity for pupils to benefit from some intensive one to one support in preparation for their exams.
Joseph was a committed, reliable and enthusiastic volunteer, relating very well to those he came into contact with through the programme, including pupils, teachers and fellow tutors, and was a valuable volunteer both for the school and for our organisation.
