With specialist skills in Mathematics and Mechanical Engineering, Steven knows his subject very well from a theoretical and practical perspective. It means that he is able to lay down very solid foundations for his students with a long-term view of mathematical progress. Even the youngest students can benefit from his expertise. He helps them to think about maths in the right way in order to prepare them for more advanced concepts later. For older students, he provides a level of insight that is rarely achieved in a secondary school classroom setting.
Technical expertise is not enough to make a good teacher. Often, experts in their field have difficulty explaining things at a level that can be understood by those with less experience. It is our ability to explain mathematics at the right level for each individual student that makes our tuition so successful. We teach with simplicity and clarity, enabling students to grasp new concepts quickly.
We try to offer more than just a maths tuition service. Our enthusiasm for mathematics and our ability to make learning enjoyable gives children the confidence and motivation to excel. It really is possible for children to enjoy learning mathematics! Some parents are amazed at the transformation in their children, even after just one lesson with us. In fact, many students have reported improvements in other subjects at school as a result of their improvement confidence in their learning ability.

What have others been saying about us?

Mr Tubby has been great for my growth in mathematics. I used to struggle in most areas of maths but since regularly meeting with Mr Tubby, my confidence and my knowledge in the subject has risen dramatically. He explains things in a easy and understandable way which helps me learn. Thank you for helping me.

Steven is an amazing math tutor- he's tutored me for two years now, and I've gone from achieving average marks to getting consistently high marks in mathematics

Maya

Amazing tutor! My two children have made rapid progress and are achieving excellent results since starting maths tuition with Steven. My daughter has commenced NCEA maths a year early, she is 100% certain that this would not have been possible without Steven's tutoring. Both kids really enjoy the lessons and find Steven extremely easy to understand and good company. We feel very lucky to have him supporting our childrens education.

Louisa

Steven breaks down the wall of frustration for our son and explains things so he understands it. The wonderful part of this tutoring is not only the results on paper but the results you see as you watch your child face difficult tasks and break it down...our sons daily comment when practicing at home is...What would Steven do?

Gia

I have found Steven to be an excellent tutor and I would highly recommend him. He has extensive knowledge of curriculum and what students need to know. Having Steven support what my son is learning in class has built a deeper understanding and has given him the confidence to aim higher in maths and for this we are very grateful.

Kelly

Our son Olivier has been attending Steven's tuition for a year. He has gone from being intimidated by his maths studies to growing in confidence every lesson. Olivier's attitude is now such a positive one and he is revelling in his successes including receiving a diligence award in Maths in recognition of his achievements. Great work Steven and Olivier!

Alex

Steven has helped my son Ben very much through maths tuition. Not only is Ben learning and proving more Steven has given him confidence which is a great bonus.

Peter

I cannot speak highly enough of his professionalism, commitment to his students, and skilled teaching. As a parent I have watched the way he builds rapport with students, gaining their respect, and relating warmly to them. His approach is very individual, and tailored to the skills and personality of each student. Both my son and daughter have had their achievement lifted significantly in maths, and Steven has been central to this.

Rosalind

We would recommend Steven to any other parent considering extra math tuition for their child. We have used Stevens services for 3 x children now, all of whom have greatly benefited.
