Hello, I’m Dr Ghouse and I offer bespoke online maths tuition. I am a fully qualified mathematics teacher (I have a BSc, Masters, PhD, PGCE & an enhanced DBS certificate) and this is my 32nd year in the teaching profession. I have had the privilege of being a Senior Examiner for one of the major Exam Boards in England.
I am a fully qualified mathematics teacher (I have a BSc, Masters, PhD, PGCE & an enhanced DBS certificate) and this is my 32nd year in the teaching profession. I have had the privilege of been a Senior Examiner for one of the major Exam Boards in England.
Tutoring maths since 2003, I have been delivering online tuition since 2010, although many of you have only recently encountered it because of the pandemic. Online delivery has been a sensible option and allows me to connect with students all over the world (currently, most of my students are based in the UK; however, I also have students from Cyprus, Hong Kong, Pakistan, Syria & Singapore).
If you are worried about online tuition and how it will work and whether a screen between your child and their teacher will impede learning, I would emphatically encourage you to give it a go; it has certainly worked for hundreds of my students over the years and enabled them to achieve or surpass their predicted grade.
If for any reason, you are sceptical about online teaching and learning (e.g., via Skype) I would like to reassure you by stating that it is very straightforward and, if circumstances warrant, your child can do it at flexible times, on holiday, at their grandparents. In fact, it is so flexible that it also saves you time driving.
I use Skype or Whereby to talk to and see my students, and an interactive colourful teaching platform programme called Scribblar. I create a ‘room’ for each student which has its own whiteboard, and I fully prepare bespoke lessons and worksheets in advance. I upload material I want to discuss and students can download sheets from the room themselves.
I offer bespoke online tutoring for all levels of Maths:
Personally speaking, for me, spending time getting to know each student and watching them develop their mathematical skills and confidence is extremely rewarding. Nothing really beats seeing a concept click into place when a student has an “aha!” moment – it’s the best feeling in the world for an educator!
My inspirational teaching style makes my students confident and happy. Students learn through doing the work.
I prepare differentiated lessons for each individual student. No 2 students are the same.
My online maths lessons have proven to be just as effective as face to face tuition. Many students prefer this type of interaction
My years of experience means I have developed advanced teaching techniques which I can use when appropriate.
My tutoring / teaching style is very much conversational, and I will always try to draw the student towards answering their own question, rather than providing them with an outright answer. With a new tutee I will always commence by getting to know them, and what their goals are to ensure that our expectations match, and I encourage parents to be actively involved at this stage if the student is under 18. After setting expectations, I am happy to keep parents informed of students’ progress but I generally encourage the student to be responsible for their own learning as I find this helps to foster a sense of intellectual independence.
Furthermore, before we agree to work together, I will ask you to read and accept the contents of a two-sided document explaining my professional fees and cancellation policy etc. I do charge for cancellations, so please bear that in mind.
I offer online maths tutoring of the highest calibre. Most maths tutors ignore the fact that every student has unique support needs. Hence, all my lessons are bespoke (individually prepared and differentiated according to the ability and learning style of the student).

“You are a wonderful teacher who is inspirational. Thank you for motivating and helping me to pass my GCSE & A-Levels. Thanks to you, I am loving Uni!”
Emma
Student
“Hello Doc, I just wanted to say thank you for helping me conquer my nerves with my Nat5 (especially maths); I got a Grade A in maths (better than what I was predicted or hoped for). You made a world of difference in boosting my confidence and only wish that we had got in touch earlier.”
Toby
Student
“It was a privilege for me to receive extra help from you Doc. Along with your positive engaging personality and extensive background in Maths & Further Maths, you really made a difference in my learning and understanding. Doc, you have inspired me to explore my abilities and stretch myself - you are the reason why I got into UCL! Thank you!”

“Dr Ghouse: Thank you very much for all your efforts with Karim and Ayla. We, of course, will recommend you to peers, friends, and family.”

"For me, Dr Ghouse was not just my tutor, he was also my mentor. I would never have been able to get a Level 8 (I was predicted a Level 5 by my school) in Maths without his dedicated guidance."

Parent
"Hello Doc: You really have 'over-prepared' my daughter Mary. From working at a grade 4-5 at the end of Year 10, she is now comfortably sitting on a Grade 9. I have already started recommending you."

I do charge for cancellations, so please bear that in mind.
When are you available to tutor maths?
Since the majority of tuition that I offer is online, my availability and hours are very flexible.
Although I am definitely available during the times listed below, I can also make myself available so that you can have a lesson during your ‘homework time’ or your independent study period / free period (if you are a Sixth Former / Uni student).
In other words, with prior agreement you can have a lesson at a mutually-convenient time that is not restricted to the traditional school day (especially, if you are a Sixth Former).
Hours:
Monday – Friday 4:00pm – 8:00pm
Sunday 4:00pm – 8:00pm
plus other day slots by prior arrangement
What are your professional fees?
