Teaching experience
3 years of professional tutoring: mathematics, further mathematics and biology (GCSE, iGCSE, and A-Level), across all abilities and major examination boards (Edexcel, AQA, OCR, Eduqas, WJEC, Cambridge International). Joshua teaches at pass borderline level, as well as specialising in grade 8/9 and A/A* achievement. Additional experience with SEND, principally ADHD. Joshua tailors sessions expertly, and provides interactive materials in order to engage children effectively. Further experience as a qualified windsurfing instructor, leading collaborative sessions for primary and secondary-aged children, with a focus on both safety and skill development. Joshua’s favourite success story: “Earlier this year, I began working with a student based in Bulgaria who was predicted grade 5s in maths and biology. Through focused, weekly sessions from February onwards, we helped build her confidence and exam technique, leading to final results of a grade 7 in maths and grade 8 in biology.”
Tutoring philosophy
“At GCSE/iGCSE and A-level, a secure grasp of the fundamentals—algebra, numeracy and graph skills—helps make more advanced topics, including trigonometry, differentiation and integration, easier to understand. Lessons build these foundations before moving on to higher-level topics. As exams approach, we focus on exam-style questions and past papers, including challenging questions from the previous week’s homework.”
Reviews
“We found Josh as our ten year old son had fallen behind in his maths. The lessons Josh has given Will have been superb and have got him right back on track. I can’t recommend Josh enough if you have a child in other similar circumstances. You won’t regret engaging his services.”Emma, Parent · GCSE
“Thanks Josh for all the help this year with the tutoring. I just received my end of year mock results and achieved an A*. Wish you all the best.”Martha, student · A-level
