IMPORTANT NOTICE
I offer online tutoring in Mathematics and Science to primary and secondary school students via Skype and Zoom. I offer only online tutoring because the demand for online tutoring outweighs the requests for face to face tutoring.
Tutoring Approach
Science and Maths is everywhere, I like to prove this to students by giving them questions in a real life context. I also teach students to be resilient and work through questions logically, developing their problem solving skills. This is a new skill being brought into I am a fully qualified teacher and a friendly, compassionate tutor with a passion for science and mathematics. I enjoy helping students increase their confidence in the subject, using a variety of teaching strategies.
I have a unique background, having worked in a number of secondary schools around the West Midlands, delivering KS3 lessons up to GCSE in both mathematics and science. I have also worked closely with local primary schools, to deliver booster sessions to years 5 and 6 in mathematics and increase overall engagement in the subject. In addition, I have taught SEN (Special Educational Needs) classes.
Currently I teach mathematics in a leading independent school, with a unique age range covering year 4 all the way up to GCSE. I have had the opportunity to teach classes of each year, therefore I am multi skilled in both primary and secondary, despite my original specialism being in secondary education. I thoroughly enjoy the variety that this brings and feel it is highly advantageous to my tuition, as I have a very large skill set that I can tailor to any student age range and ability.
I have tutored for over 7 years (in mathematics and science) and being a current teacher with GCSE classes, I I have a wealth of school experience with proven results. I can explain topics in many different ways, therefore can adapt my teaching to the students’ preferred learning style. In addition, I use variety of questioning styles to ensure that the student fully understands. i’m equipped with a variety of engaging, teaching strategies, to bring mathematics to real life. I focus on depth of understanding and developing students problem solving skills, this not only makes the maths fun but means students can apply their knowledge to any exam question!
Finally, I like to familiarise students with the types of question they will experience in the exam. Therefore, my lessons usually build up to an exam-style question at the end. This builds confidence and is just one of my unique, proven ways to achieving success and conveying my enthusiasm for these subject areas.
**Qualifications** Degree: Medical Science (Hons)
Obtaining a science degree has allowed me to see the direct application of mathematics to other fields. Seeing the wide applications of the subject first hand, is why I am so passionate about the subject. am fully up to date with all curricular changes and all major exam boards. the revised national curriculum. Therefore will set students up for success in their exams.
I also focus on developing exam technique, helping students to gain all the marks they deserve.
I enjoy working with numbers and have a sound understanding of the subject, achieving grade A* in my A-levels. Mathematics also contributes in many ways to the study of life sciences, which is why it made up an important component of my Medical Science degree. Many concepts and formulas in mathematics are used to obtain quantitative data. For example, probability has a major role in the study of genetics. I carried out statistics modules as this has a major application in data analysis, to identify trends and look at data quality. In addition, mathematics has a major role in day-to-day laboratory work. Experiencing first-hand the wide application of mathematics, is why I am so enthusiastic about the subject of mathematics and life sciences.
During my lessons, I always show students the ‘big idea’ and how what they are learning can be applied in ‘real life’. This helps develop a deeper understanding of the subject and also makes my lessons more engaging and relevant.

Perfect! My daughter is very happy
Perfect! Jake is an excellent tutor
Perfect! Jake makes science much easier and enjoyable. My daughter has had a number of tuitions now with Jake. She loves how everything is clearly explained whilst lots of topics are being covered in the hour.
Perfect! really helpful and supportive
Perfect! Jake's approach is sound, professional and organised. He was able to identify very quickly what support my son needed and work with him on how best to achieve the desired preparedness level for his GCSEs.
Perfect! Jake is a fantastic tutor for science and maths; his teaching is of an exceptional standard. Being a fully qualified teacher really sets him apart and gave me confidence in his proven abilities in the classroom. He transfers all these skills to his tuition. He fully understands the GCSE curriculum and what is expected. My son has achieved a high GCSE grade thanks to Jakes teaching. Jake is very patient, explains the work clearly and how to complete it in a calm and supportive manner. He is a very polite and conscientious tutor; I highly recommend Jake.
Perfect! My son is autistic and attends a specialist school.
He requires lots of visuals and methods to be broken down in to manageable stages to fully understand and retain information. Jake is clearly highly experienced at adapting according to need and even in one lesson, my son had progressed with his knowledge, grown in confidence and felt understood. A huge achievement for a child that has been left very damaged by the UK's education system - and a clear indicator of Jake's ability and huge strengths as a teacher/tutor to move him forward so quickly and positively.Perfect! Jacob is an excellent teacher; my son is really enjoying his tuition in science and is learning a significant amount. He really appreciates Jacob highlighting the real-life applications of the concepts they cover. Jacob is always on time and his lessons are well planned. My son is really connecting with his patient and systematic approach. I would highly recommend him if you are looking for a tutor in sciences and maths.
Perfect! Very helpful and supportive
Perfect! Jacob is a FANTASTIC teacher for all three sciences, Chemistry, Physics and Biology. His way of simplifying difficult concepts has really helped demystify the subjects for my daughter. She has excelled since beginning lessons with him, and she now has a better, deeper understanding and is much more confident. Jacob’s patient, supportive approach has really worked and his knowledge and experience as a current schoolteacher with GCSE classes was why I chose him. He is fully up to date with current exam changes for the summer exams, something we needed guidance on. Thank you Jacob!
Perfect! Very helpful.
Perfect! Jacob has been an excellent science teacher. His tutor sessions have been invaluable in helping my son to perform in his exams. This was a big ask of Jacob as he had fallen behind during Covid. Our son has improved in all aspects of learning, organisation, focus and motivation. Jacob’s proactive approach has reduced our parental stress and our son has been achieving much higher standards. We highly recommend Jacob as a teacher - Well done and thank you so very much.
Perfect! Jacob has a great way of tutoring online, his teaching methods are highly skilled and my son has hugely improved his understanding of Maths and Science over the course of tuition. I am confident that Jacob will mentor my son to high A level grades next year and I am delighted to recommend Jacob to others.
Perfect! My expectations were very high when hiring Jacob to teach my son GCSE Mathematics. I must say, he has blown away our expectations. Not only has he made the subject interesting to my son, but he has also made my son enthusiastic to learn more. He now looks forward to his maths classes and the extra confidence boost is very noticeable. This is a remarkably positive change within a short time in my son. Jacob is meticulous, thorough and flexible in his teaching. He is really an outstanding tutor; we are delighted we found him!
- Jake's response :Well done Danny, you can confidently use and apply your knowledge of cells to describe the function and structure of the key organelles.

Jacob is a top-class tutor; he is a very dedicated teacher who clearly goes the extra mile for his students. He is passionate about his tutoring and helping his students achieve their full potential. He is an excellent motivator and encourages confidence by explaining difficult concepts extremely well. He breaks down complex subjects into easier to digest step-by-step methods that are easy to follow. My son found the notes made in lesson a highly valuable revision resource as Jacob annotates all examples with detailed instructions, my son really connected and understands this structured teaching approach. I am also pleased he gives honest feedback and keeps us updated with good communication. I highly recommend him.
Jacob is a fantastic tutor. He has tutored my Year 9 daughter for the past couple of months to support her catching up since lockdown. His online lessons are very well structured and organised, he provides all notes made afterwards in addition to homework. My daughter used to get worried about exams, but she felt a lot more relaxed in her last test. I have noticed a big improvement in her confidence, thank you Jacob! He’s quick to identify those areas requiring improvement using a 'diagnostic test' and then planning for the lessons to ensure these areas are covered. He has a very calm and encouraging manner, my daughter has found his tuition very useful. I would certainly recommend him.
We were really impressed with Jacobs tutoring. Our son moved from a grade D to a grade A in his GCSE mocks in just one term. His grades have improved and he is much more confident. They have set clear and achievable targets leading up to the end of Summer term exams and we were all delighted with the progression resulting in him getting one of the highest scores in the class. We are thankful to have found Jacob! We would recommend him highly.
Jacob has been a great help to my daughter with her Maths and Physics GCSE work helping her confidence and skills with areas she finds difficult , I would definitely recommend him , he makes the lessons relaxed and interesting and she is learning a lot from the sessions , he is very reliable and although she was worried about having tutoring online but he has made this very easy and relaxed and he is always prepared and tutors the lessons to her specific needs.
