Hi, I'm Oscar.
Who I am, how I teach, what a parent actually gets — including the report that arrives after every lesson — and what it costs. Online, or in person on the Wirral.

My background
I sat A-levels at Birkenhead School in June 2026 in Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry, having taken all four at GCSE before that. Starting MMath Mathematics at the University of Bristol, September 2026. The exams your child is preparing for are ones I sat myself this summer: I know the current specifications, the mark schemes, and exactly where students drop marks.
Teaching isn't new to me
When my school didn't offer GCSE Further Maths, I co-founded a student-led club and taught the entire course to around fifteen classmates myself, and we all sat the exam at the end of it. Running it taught me that most of what makes these subjects hard is the explanation, not the student. Explaining hard maths clearly to other students is something I've been doing for years, not something I'm starting now.
How I teach
These subjects go wrong when they become memorising steps. I target the specific gaps rather than re-teaching the whole course, insist on full written working — method marks are the difference of a grade — and use examiner reports to teach exactly what gets penalised, which school lessons rarely cover. Every session is planned around your child's board, their tracked gaps and real exam questions, never a generic worksheet.
What you can expect
A written report after every lesson, homework that targets weak spots, a library of past papers and resources, and honest feedback about progress. You'll always know exactly where things stand.
Away from the whiteboard
I play the piano seriously. I mention it because the habits it demands — structured practice and consistency over cramming — are exactly the habits I build in the students I tutor.
How it works
From first message to a weekly routine in under a week.
Get in touch
Tell me about your child, their year group and exam board, and where they're stuck.
Free intro call, then a free first lesson
A quick 15-minute call to hear where they're at — then a free first lesson: a full-length diagnostic where I work through questions with them and map exactly which topics need work. No commitment either side until you've seen how a session works.
Weekly lessons
A regular weekly slot, online or in person. Every session targets the tracked gaps — never generic re-teaching — and after every lesson you get a written report on what we covered and what comes next.
What arrives after a lesson
Every lesson ends with a written report, sent the same evening. Below is the format, filled in as an example — an invented student, so nothing here is anyone's real work or marks.
- Year 11 · AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462 · lesson 6 of a weekly block
- Moles and concentration: mass to moles and back, then two-step titration calculations against the clock.
- Method was right every time. Two marks went on rounding partway through a calculation, and one on a final answer left without units.
- The same calculations timed, then gas volumes — the next place the same rounding habit will cost marks.
- Five past-paper questions, about 25 minutes, mark scheme attached so it can be self-marked before we meet.
Simple, honest pricing
The free resources do the heavy lifting; lessons are where we fix the specific marks you're dropping. Core specification coverage, official-paper links and meaningful practice stay free; optional premium tools may later add personalisation, analytics, automation and human feedback. You pay for lessons after the intro offer: Free intro call, then a free first lesson.

For parents
You don't need to know the subjects to help. Here's how GCSE grading and tiers actually work, what genuinely helps at home, and how to get the most from the free tools on this site.
Parents' cornerQuestions parents ask
Which subjects and exam boards do you cover?
Maths, Further Maths, Physics and Chemistry at GCSE and A-level. Teaching support is focused on AQA and Edexcel; OCR maths grade-boundary resources are also available. I sat all four subjects myself at GCSE and again at A-level in June 2026, so the specifications and mark schemes I teach from are the current ones.
What's on the free resources site?
Everything I build for my own students, open to anyone: an interactive Mechanism Lab for curly arrows, a chemistry question bank, spec-point flashcards with spaced repetition, mental-maths and mole trainers, and quick-reference sheets for the facts examiners actually ask. It's free because it shows you exactly how I teach before you pay for a lesson.
Is the first lesson really free?
Free intro call, then a free first lesson. The first lesson is a 60-minute diagnostic: I work through a spread of exam questions with your child and send you a clear, topic-by-topic picture of where they are and a plan. You only pay if you decide to carry on.
Are lessons online or in person?
Both. Most students choose online lessons over video with a shared whiteboard; in-person lessons are available around Greasby and the Wirral.
How long is a lesson?
One hour by default. Some students prefer 90 minutes closer to exams.
How do payments work?
By bank transfer. You'll have a family account showing every lesson, what's owed and what's been paid — and a monthly statement in your family portal.
What if we need to cancel a lesson?
Life happens. Just give at least 24 hours' notice and the lesson won't be charged.
How do I know it's working?
After every lesson I write a short report: what we covered, what went well and what to work on, with effort and progress ratings you can track over time. Roughly every six lessons we do a timed past-paper section so you see the score trend, not just a feeling.
Why choose a tutor who's just left school?
Because recent exam experience is useful. I know the current mark schemes, command words and common traps from completing A-levels recently. And teaching isn't new to me: when my school didn't offer GCSE Further Maths, I taught the entire course to around fifteen classmates, and we all sat the exam.
