Super Tutor
Simon is one of our best Maths tutors. High-quality profile, qualifications verified, organised and responsive to lesson requests, and appreciated by their students.
About Simon
I am a specialist GCSE and IGCSE Mathematics Tutor covering the major syllabi:
- Pearson Edexcel GCSE Mathematics (1MA1), Higher
- AQA GCSE Mathematics (8300), Higher
- Cambridge IGCSE Mathematics (0580), Extended
- Pearson Edexcel International GCSE Mathematics A (4MA1), Higher
My other specialisation in Primary Mathematics covers students of any background studying any curriculum. I tutor primarily children from ages 6 to 9.
While I study mathematics and theoretical physics at a university, I chose to specialise my tutoring only on two areas: GCSE and IGCSE Mathematics and Primary Education Mathematics, instead of having to split my focus across too many different areas.
Thanks to this specialisation, I have been able to carry out extensive analysis and research in order to offer lessons structured around the specifications of both syllabi and to provide focused exam preparation. As well as try to understand the methods and psychology for teaching children mathematics.

My lessons are visual and utilise computer software, allowing my students to actually see how the mathematics unfold.
I also work with my students outside of our lessons through assignments, corrections, and further practice, all hosted on my private website, which serves as a personal hub for our materials.
Furthermore, I provide a supportive learning environment, which I believe to be essential for making studying less stressful and allowing students to make consistent progress.
I offer a free first lesson where I introduce new students to the way I tutor.
Reviews
All the reviews collected from students are verified by our team. They are therefore reliable and correspond to a real experience with Simon.
Perfect! We’re so pleased we found Mr Simon! My daughter is in Year 2 of the British curriculum and was struggling with basic maths, often feeling confused by numbers, counting and symbols such as minus and equals. I was initially unsure because Simon mainly teaches older students, including GCSE, but after the trial my daughter was eager to continue.
Simon’s patient, structured approach has made a remarkable difference. He starts with the foundations, explains each concept clearly and works at her pace, making sure she understands before moving on. After just two lessons, she can recognise and use maths symbols much more confidently, has begun to understand multiplication and is no longer as overwhelmed by numbers and counting. Most importantly, her confidence and enthusiasm have noticeably grown in a subject she previously found difficult. I would highly recommend Simon to parents of younger primary school children too!Perfect! I would without a doubt recommend Simon for IGCSE exam preparation. Very knowledgeable about the exams and a very effective way of teaching.”
- Thank you for the review Omar! The lessons with you have been awesome, I appreciate how attentive and responsive you are.Simon's response :
Perfect! After just a few lessons my son had with Simon, he rates him as an excellent tutor. He says that he breaks down the topics and exam questions he found difficult in a way that makes them suddenly manageable.
We were looking for a tutor and it seems like we found our match. Based on how happy my son is with Simon, I would recommend him to other parents looking for an IGCSE tutor as well.- I am glad that your son enjoys our lessons, Zayed, and thank you for the review. I am excited to see your son make a lot of progress in mathematics.Simon's response :
Perfect! Simon immediately struck me as a very professional tutor who does the most for their students. He also gave my son access to his site where he supposedly stores all his students’ past material, this is very useful for my son who struggles to scribble down notes while also paying attention.Instead he was able to work well with Simon and really focus.
- Thank you for the review Zara, I appreciate it and am excited to continue tutoring your son!Simon's response :
Perfect! The tutor was very helpful and understanding with excellent touch for detail. I will definitely sign up for more lessons with Simon.
- Thank you for writing me the review, Ahmad. Since our first lesson, I already see lots of improvement on your side!Simon's response :

A tutor that is just always prepared, professional yet friendly, and clearly knows the GCSE very well – that is how I’d describe Simon. Having him as a tutor helped my exam results quite a lot.
I would definitely recommend Simon as a tutor because he knows both the exam quirks for the syllabi he tutors and teaches mathematics extremely intuitively.
When Simon started tutoring me, I had only 2 months before I was going to sit the GCSE exams. Math was not my strongest suit; however, Simon actually somehow made doing questions feel like it's not even that difficult.
I loved that there was communication and help even outside of the lessons, so I never had to feel on my own for more than a couple of days.
Also the lessons are just exceptional. Very clean and structured and visually helpful. And the fact that I didn't have to take notes since Simon sends all the material helped me focus during the lessons themselves.I appreciate Simon's patience, it happened a lot of times that I felt like I was never going to grasp a topic, but he just didn't give up and figures out how to make it click. It was indeed also the fact that he is very friendly and makes it feel okay to make mistakes and not understand something right away.
Simon is a very structured tutor. I was learning with him to prepare for my IGCSE exams. The fact that he knew a lot of tricks on how to maximise my marks was extremely helpful and it helped me on the actual exams.
