About Me

About Me And My A Level Maths Tuition

My Tutoring Philosophy

I believe that all students have the potential to do well. It’s just about providing the opportunity and unlocking the potential. I find that the best way to unlock a student’s true potential is through a mixture of encouragement, a structured and methodical approach and hard work. Finding the right mixture of these three key ingredients is imperative when trying to help students achieve their full potential.

My Classroom Teaching Experience

I firmly believe that in order to be an effective tutor, experience in a classroom is imperative. From knowledge of how exam-board marking works to learning how to best cater for the individual needs of all types of student, classroom teaching is where all of these skills are learnt.

I qualified as a teacher in 2013 and since then my teaching experience has been teaching in Sixth Form colleges focussing almost exclusively on teaching A-Level Maths and A-Level Further Maths to students 16+ in age.

My Tutoring Experience

I have been privately tutoring for over 15 years and during this time I have developed a unique approach to tuition which ensures students progress, feel supported and are consistently challenged. I have tutored A-Level Maths and Further Maths across all of the main UK syllabuses (Edexcel, AQA, OCR A and OCR MEI) as well as the International A-Level Maths syllabuses (Pearson Edexcel iAL and Cambridge International iAL). 

I have taught students from both the state sector and from the top independent schools in the UK including Eton College, Winchester College, Charterhouse, Benenden Girls School, among others.

My Qualifications

I am a fully-qualified teacher of mathematics holding a PGCE and Qualified Teacher Status (QTS) in the UK. My undergraduate degree is in Mathematics and Computer Science and I hold a Master of Science degree in Applied Mathematics in which I achieved “distinction”.

You will have noticed that my tuition rates are higher than those of many other tutors. These rates reflect my many years of experience in teaching A Level Maths and Further Maths both in the classroom and through online tutoring, my qualifications and, more importantly, the results my students achieve through a partnership of both mine and their hard work and dedication. Each lesson includes:

      • An hour of one-to-one tuition from me, John Armstrong, the creator of ALevelMathsRevision.com, an experienced teacher of A Level Maths and Further Maths with exam board marking experience;
      • Expert advice on exam technique and how to “target the marks” in an exam situation on a topic-by-topic basis;
      • Tailor-made resources to complete as homework that complement the learning process and further embed any newly learned material.

I am also a firm believer that pricing should not prevent access to the best chance of success: my online course recorded and resourced by myself (The Ultimate Study Tool For A-Level Maths) and my free revision resource library here at ALevelMathsRevision.com  have a wealth or resources that will help you achieve your full potential.
