About Gary
My degree is in mathematics, with QTS. I chose it because I love mathematics, not because of what it is for. A proof is worth doing because it is true and because it is elegant, and that has been enough for me since I was at school.
I went into computing afterwards. It came easily, and I liked the mathematics sitting underneath it. I now teach Computer Science at a college in Brighton and I am doing a PhD in astrophysics, modelling how massive stars form.
Most students I meet do not lack ability. They have been told, or have decided, that they are not a maths person. That is almost always wrong and it is usually the first thing we deal with.

I start the first lesson with a diagram. A few crossing lines, a couple of angles given, and the rest to be worked out.
It is a small problem and it tells me most of what I need to know. I watch how you get from one step to the next, where you stop, and what you do when you are not sure of the answer. We talk it through. You do not sit there working in silence while I mark something.
After that I teach what the diagram tells me to teach. I do not start at the front of the specification. If the trouble is further back, in fractions or negatives or rearranging, we go back and fix it; everything else stands on top of it.
Then it is teaching and past papers, marked the way the examiner marks them, so you can see where you are losing marks and why. I set a little work between lessons and we go through it at the start of the next one.

I've gotten to know Gary over the past 9 years and have had the pleasure of being taught by him. He is an amazing teacher who has always been super helpful as well as patient and understanding when helping me in areas I've struggled with. Overall, he has helped me become a more confident learner and I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a supportive and approachable tutor.
Not only is Gary a fantastic teacher who is so dedicated to his job, but as well an incredibly lovely person and I can't thank him enough for all his help :)Gary is a fantastic tutor who is exceptionally knowledgeable, supportive, and generous with his time. I know Gary through working alongside him and have seen first-hand how committed he is to helping students learn and build confidence. His knowledge of coding, Computer Science, and Mathematics is outstanding, and he explains complex ideas in a clear, logical, and engaging way. What makes Gary particularly impressive is the breadth of his knowledge; alongside Mathematics, Computer Science, and programming, he has a strong interest in astronomy, space, stars, and rocketry. I have also seen the excellent student club he established, where students could explore coding, Mathematics, astronomy, and other STEM topics beyond the classroom. Gary is approachable, patient, reliable, and genuinely enthusiastic about teaching. I would highly recommend him to any student looking for an inspiring, knowledgeable, and supportive tutor.
