About Silvio
WHY I TEACH:
One thing I love more than learning is spreading my knowledge. Since primary school, I have always enjoyed helping my peers, often becoming the person classmates would turn to when they needed help.
When I was 15 I was inspired to start teaching my classmates in group and 1-on-1 online sessions in preparation for our GCSEs. Since then I've had the pleasure to continue teaching students of different levels/ages.
My favourite part of tutoring is seeing my students develop confidence in their own abilities and watching new oppurtunities open up for them because of it. I strongly believe in the power of education to change people's lives, and tutoring gives me the opportunity to contribute to that.
MY EXPERIENCE:
I'm currently studying Philosophy, Politics and Economics (PPE) at UCL, a diverse degree that includes rigorous mathematical modules. Prior to this, I studied Maths and Further Maths at A-Level.
Over the last 4 years, I've accumulated over 400 hours of teaching experience. I primarily teach Maths, but I've also taught Science, English and Business. I've worked with students across every Key Stage (from KS1 up to A-level) and a wide range of abilities, with the majority of my experience being with GCSE students at both Foundation and Higher level.
Being a student myself, I've found that I can build a good relationship with my students from the 1st lesson. As a result, they feel comfortable asking questions and making mistakes.

I see value in building a good relationship with the student. My aim is to understand their strengths and needs and adapt each lesson accordingly. My methodology consists of a 3-step process for each topic.
STEP 1: UNDERSTAND
When I explain any concept, method or formula, I break it down into its most fundamental parts to ensure a deep understanding rather than just memorisation. In this step, I encourage student involvement so that they can actively figure things out rather than just listening to me talk.
STEP 2: APPLY
By working through guided questions, students can practise their problem-solving skills and further develop their understanding by actively using what they learned in Step 1.
STEP 3: REVISE
Even after we move on to another topic, I will regularly bring up past topics to reinforce the knowledge they already have. We can then determine whether we need to revisit a topic in more detail or whether they feel confident to move on.

Perfect! Silvio worked with my daughter to help her prepare for SATs. He has a very calm friendly manner which helped to put her at ease. His teaching is clear and organised and current.
Excellent! Our time with Silvio was short, but he was extremely accommodating to our last minute request for tutoring, very flexible in setting sessions and my son found him very easy to understand and the feedback provided was helpful. As per our requirement, my son learnt through hands on experience with exam questions, with Silvio providing the content examples but my son leading the way with the calculations so that Silvio could guide him when needed and properly assess his strengths and weaknesses.
Perfect! I had tutoring from October through to May, and in that time my tutor helped me make huge progress in maths. When I first started, I was working at Foundation level and achieved a grade 4, but by the end I was studying Higher Maths and achieved my target grade 6 – something I couldn’t have done without his support.
What I really appreciated was his teaching style. He never just gave me the answers; instead, he made sure I thought about the problem and worked it out myself. This really built my confidence and understanding. When he explained a topic, he didn’t just show how to do it – he explained why it works that way, which made things much clearer.
He was always very patient, which made it much easier to learn, and he was well organised too. He kept track of my strengths and weaknesses and made sure we worked on the areas I struggled with most, while still reinforcing what I was already good at. The lessons were always tailored to my level and my goals, with my target grade in mind at all times.
Overall, he was an excellent tutor – supportive, patient, and effective. Thanks to him, I not only reached my target grade but also gained a much better understanding of maths along the way. He helped me achieve my goal of going to my dream 6th form and being able to study Economics.Perfect! A tutor who takes time to explain subjects my son found more challenging whilst preparing for his maths and business GSCEs. Would definitely recommend
Perfect! Knowledge and confidence to teach maths.
Perfect! Silvio is punctual, dedicated and established a good rapport with my son. My son has progressed well with his understanding of Mathematics. We are pleased with his tutoring.

Silvio has a clear passion for his subject and an excellent depth of knowledge. He explains mathematical concepts with clarity and patience, adapting his approach to suit the individual needs of his students.
I would highly recommend Silvio to anyone looking for a skilled and dedicated maths tutor.I was a student of Silvio's for the months leading up to my GCSE maths resit. I would highly recommend Silvio because I really didn't think I would be able to understand maths but he is a brilliant teacher, with his tutoring I achieved higher than expected.
Silvio is a friend of mine who helped me in GCSEs last year. He went through past questions with me and explained a lot of concepts which I previously didn't understand in a really effective manner. Before getting taught by Silvio I was working at a grade 3 but in my real exams I got a grade 5. This is the highest grade I could've possibly achieved when doing the foundation tier papers. Without his lessons there's a good chance that I wouldn't have passed GCSE maths
Brilliant tutor for maths who helped me understand difficult topics and helped increase the grades I attainted on exams.
