"My name is Laurence. I attended the University of Oxford between 2010 and 2018, completing an Undergraduate Masters of Mathematics (MMath) and a Mathematical Doctorate (DPhil, PhD). I started teaching in 2015 and I have significant experience tutoring the UK mathematics syllabus. I offer bespoke 1-1 mathematics tuition, tailored to your child’s needs, and focusing on where they wish to improve. With over 1000 hours tutoring mathematics online, I am highly experienced at providing online tuition. I use a virtual whiteboard and graphics tablet, providing a seamless and interactive experience, as you would with face to face tuition. I believe mathematics opens doors to children, not just in terms of opportunities, but also in terms of how they think. Mathematics teaches us about how to approach problems logically and systematically, a highly transferable skill to many other subjects, as well as everyday life. Throughout my time in academia, I specialised into applied mathematics, and studied fields such as quantum theory and special relativity, which fundamentally changed the way I look at the world around me. For me, I’ve found mathematics to be a gift that has helped me navigate the world and appreciate its beauty on a deeper level. This has made me want to share that gift with others through teaching. I pride myself on meeting your children where they are and working at the pace they need. Given my academic background I can push someone who wants to be pushed, but can also offer a patient, empathetic and nurturing approach based on what your child needs. In addition to my academic background I am also qualified in social work, with 4+ years of specialist experience working with children who have experienced trauma. Due to this, I am also skilled in working with children with complex SEND needs or neurodevelopmental conditions, such as autism and ADHD. I hold an enhanced DBS check, I am fully trained in safeguarding, and I am committed to ensuring the welfare of your child. Throughout my time working with vulnerable children, I have learnt how to support a wide range of young people with empathy and care. This, together with my deep knowledge of mathematics, I can help your child reach their goals. Whether they want to be pushed to explore their fullest potential, or want to regain their confidence and enjoyment with mathematics, I am here to help."

Whether a student is aiming to strengthen their confidence, improve their GCSE or A Level performance, or deepen their understanding of science, I tailor every lesson to their individual needs and learning style.

"I am a current UCL student studying History and Politics of the Americas, though my curiosity doesn't stop there - I’ve always loved crossing between subjects, having studied Philosophy, Biology and Chemistry at A Level alongside a humanities degree. I bring over four years of tutoring experience working with students across a whole range of ability levels, including those with additional learning needs, and I hold a Safeguarding Children Level 2 qualification. For me, tutoring isn't just about getting through a syllabus - I want my students to actually feel proud of what they've learnt and more confident in themselves along the way. I take the time to get to know how each student thinks and learns best, so lessons feel less like "extra school" and more like a space where they can ask questions freely and make real progress at their own pace. Outside of tutoring, I love exploring topics well beyond my own subjects, and I really enjoy sharing that sense of curiosity with the students I work with."
