About Lucas

I have 18 months of experience as a London (and online to anywhere in the world) maths tutor. I represent the most highly regarded private tutoring agencies in the world. Please contact me for more details.

Tutoring and mentoring students of all abilities from age 9 to 17, from state and independent schools, both online and face-to-face.

I have 13 months of experience (from academic year 2017/2018) teaching abroad for one of the top private educational establishments in the world, Carfax Education.

During this time I taught over thirty students with ages ranging from 7 to 42. By tutoring over 20 hours per week I clocked up over 1000 hours of teaching experience.

Over a three month period I taught a class of 14 students of ages 12-14.

I have assisted in preparing students for ISEB 11+ and 13+ common entrance exams and one of my former GCSE students received an offer for sixth form entry into Cheltenham Ladies' College.

I was responsible for the mathematics education of one 14-year-old student for the entire academic year. During this homeschooling his progress was monitored by regular testing and he significantly improved his scores and attainment.

Some success stories:

online tuition for GCSE mathematics, enabling a student to achieve a grade 7 when they were predicted a grade 5;

ISEB 13+ entrance preparation: increased a dyslexic student’s exam scores from 36% to 63% in physics and 37% to 73% in mathematics;

increased the maths MAP score of one student by 15 points (her projected improvement was eight points);

increased the scaled mathematics PSAT score of one student by 140 points in 22 days;

secured a 9/10 maths score for a 14 year old at a Russian school in Baku;

raised on 11-year-old’s scores from a failing average of 54% to scores of over 80% at SABIS International School Baku.

About the lesson

I am an experienced maths tutor providing online lessons to any age and any ability of student. I would love to hear from you if your are a maths genius or if you think you are terrible at maths!

I use an online whiteboard which has been created specifically for online tutors. I can also use Zoom or Skype as the student prefers. After a lesson is finished I can send the student a recording of the entire lesson (if they wish) and a pdf document of all the work we did together. I use the latest techniques in online tutoring including screen sharing and remote control. I am happy to run through all of this in the free first lesson! Give it a try! You will benefit fully from online tuition if you have access to some type of digital writing instrument. These start from £20 for a digital pen with a writing pad. If you have a Macbook Pro or Microsoft Surface (or other similar touchscreen computer), you should be ok just using that.

I believe in teaching mathematics as a language. This means that I prefer a student to gain mastery of a topic before extending the topic or moving on to a different one.

I also believe that giving a student confidence and inspiring them to rise to challenges can be extremely important with maths, a subject which many students fear. It's also important to never give up, and to encourage students to understand that they learn more when they struggle with a difficult problem, than when they finish a question easily with minimal effort.

My focus on mastery of a topic and of embracing struggle has been inspired by Salman Khan who created Khan Academy.

In addition, I believe that every student is different and I modify my teaching methods accordingly. I can offer practice exams if required as I have access to a large selection of exam papers for all ages. These exams can take place during an online lesson just like a real mock exam. I will then mark the exam and we can go through it together in the next lesson.

I have an Enhanced DBS certificate (dated January 2019) and I am subscribed to the annual update service. Please ask if you would like to view it. My ACRO police national computer (PNC) record is also available (dated October 2018). Both checks are completely clear.
