What customers say

Based on genuine customer reviews

Private maths tuition in Hull, delivered by Ian through one-to-one sessions, is described by families and learners as confidence-building as much as skill-building, with pupils spanning GCSE and A level candidates, mature students returning after long gaps and home-educated children. Several reviewers highlight the progress made, including a predicted GCSE grade climbing by two levels, a functional skills level 2 exam passed and a long-held fear of the subject giving way to enjoyment. Ian is repeatedly called patient, personable and non-judgemental, adapting his methods to suit each learner rather than applying a single approach.

Planning is another point that comes up often, with goals discussed at the outset and sessions shaped around the exam or skill being targeted, while the software and materials used in lessons are praised as helpful. The service overall is described as thorough, efficient and good value, and parents of home-educated children report that maths has become something their children look forward to. The rapport Ian builds with younger students features across the feedback, as does his flexibility around individual needs, and his encouragement is credited with shifting one student's belief in their own ability.

Ian was an incredible GCSE Maths tutor for my son. Thanks to Ian's support, my son's predicted grade of a 5 jumped to a 7—very close to an 8. They established a great rapport from day one, and my son really responded well to Ian’s teaching style. Highly recommended.

Can't thank Ian enough for all of his help with my son, you made him believe in himself and walked out with a fantastic grade from his GCSE'S! Thank you so much, I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing that little push

Ian is a brilliant, efficient tutor who is amazing at teaching many mathematical concepts. When I first met Ian, I was lacking confidence but Ian has turned me to a confident and able mathematician at both GCSE and A level

Ian helped me passed my functional maths level 2 recently. I had a real mental block when it came to studying maths after nearly 30 years. Ian listened to what my goal was, and formulated a plan to help me achieve this. I found Ian to be flexible, easy going and of course very knowledgeable with all things maths. However for me, where Ian really excels is his ability to adapt his teaching methods to suit his student. Ian helped me feel more confident with maths and he is quite happy to try different approaches until a method is found that works! Thanks Ian

My 2 homeschooled children are actually enjoying Maths for the first time! They told me they're "having fun"! We're very impressed with the software used and the guidance provided. Excellent tutoring service, I highly recommend Maths by Ian. Thorough, efficient and value for money.

Ian has helped me as a mature student over the last 12 weeks to prepare for an exam that I didn't even understand the questions on at the initial contact stage with him. Ian was a great teacher in helping me understand and learn maths in different ways to a point I slightly enjoyed it as opposed to the long term fear of maths from early school life. Ian is patient, non judgemental, personable and adapts his sessions to help you focus on breaking the learning into parts. I am very grateful for the time and effort Ian gave me and that is why I am highly recommending him! Ian has boosted my confidence and the best chance of succeeding, thankyou Ian.
