Hi, I'm Jesse, a professional maths and computer science tutor who lives in Brighton, UK. I'm also an ex-software engineer and a local Fiveways, Brighton parent!
Whether students aim to get ahead or just keep up, I can help. My tutoring approach is to . . .
Meet students where they actually are, rather than where they supposedly 'ought to be' given their year, their age, or which set they've been placed in. Every student is different, every teacher is different, and every school is different - so no two students have had exactly the same maths journey. And that's fine! That's where we start.
Listen more than lecture, as this gives students space to think. This is absolutely essential for problem-solving.
I am patient, results-driven, and passionate about finding new ways to inspire and motivate students of all abilities. I love learning and earned an MSc in Computer Science (with Distinction) from Birkbeck, University of London. As tutoring should be available to anyone who needs it, I also volunteer as an A-level maths tutor for Tutor the Nation and as a GCSE maths tutor for The Access Project. I also hold an up-to-date high level background check (Enhanced DBS).
I tutor students sitting GCSE Maths and A-level Maths, as well as the International GCSE (IGCSE) in Maths and the Level 2 Further Maths qualifications. I cover all exam boards, including Edexcel, AQA, and Cambridge OCR.
I can also help adult learners, people with specific learning difficulties, or anyone taking resits or needing help with remedial maths.
I charge £40/hour for each one-to-one online session (with concessions available). I'm based in Fiveways, Brighton - a few minutes walk from Varndean and Dorothy Stringer schools, but I tutor students studying at schools across the area, including BHASVIC, Brighton College, Patcham High School, Cardinal Newman College, and many others.
