Welcome

Hello! I’m Alice, a dedicated Maths Tutor based in Yateley, Hampshire. I graduated from the University of Warwick with a First Class degree in Mathematics and am now studying for my Master’s in Mathematics at the University of Cambridge. Over the past 3.5 years I have built a successful tutoring service, working with many students to help them excel in GCSE and A-level maths and further maths. Many of them are now at their first-choice universities and courses, or pursuing the A-levels they want. My approach combines personalised lesson planning, innovative use of technology through platforms like Google Classroom, and a focus on building strong foundational skills and confidence in my students. With a background enriched by leadership roles and work experience in schools, I bring a well-rounded perspective to education that not only enhances learning but also inspires students to achieve their best. Whether you’re looking to improve your grades or deepen your understanding of maths, I’m here to support your educational journey with proven strategies and a passion for teaching.

In our sessions, we’ll explore mathematical concepts through unique perspectives and engaging problem-solving activities designed to boost your confidence. I firmly believe that the cornerstone of success in mathematics lies in a robust understanding of the fundamental disciplines: numbers, algebra, geometry and statistics. By securing these foundations, we pave the way for mastering more complex topics with ease

I hope you enjoy looking around my website and seeing some of the tutoring services I can offer you.

Experience

I have worked with students from Year 7 through to A-level Further Maths, but my specialism is A-level, taking strong students from good to the very top grades. Having competed in national maths competitions and Olympiads, I teach the way top mathematicians actually think. That means building intuition and problem-solving instinct, so students can handle the unfamiliar questions that separate an A from an A*. I have tutored a range of exam boards and specifications, and I know exactly what each one rewards.
I volunteer in Yateley at my local dance school and at community events, and I’m passionate about helping every student reach their full potential. I also hold my enhanced DBS check certificate.
