Hello, I’m Dr Ghouse and I offer bespoke online maths tuition for GCSE Maths, and National 5 Maths. 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.
With over 32 years of experience, Doc Ghouse has the qualifications and experience required to deliver engaging and enjoyable gCSE and National 5 lessons to his tutees. Read more about Doc Ghouse.
I can boost your confidence, leading to a better contextual understanding and higher grades. I adjust my teaching style to suit the student I am working with, have experience working with students with special educational needs as well as helping gifted students reach their full potential.
Doc Ghouse GCSE / National 5 Maths tuition aims to:
GCSE and National 5 (N5) exams are particularly challenging and a vast step up from earlier challenges in school, so it’s important to not fall behind and obtain a contextual understanding early on. As a seasoned private maths tutor, Doc Ghouse will give you or your child dedicated time and attention. With Doc Ghouse as your dedicated private maths tutor, you are guaranteed bespoke lessons that suit your needs. Doc Ghouse focuses on ensuring that each student gains more confidence in their work whilst supporting them to reach their full potential.
Doc Ghouse has strong subject knowledge, extensive teaching experience, effective communication skills, patience, empathy and insights into the subject as an Examiner to help you catch up, prepare for your examination and boost your confidence. My promise to you is that I will always work with you to help you surpass your predicted grade by focusing on developing your key areas, improving exam techniques and presenting your work in order to maximise the method marks you are awarded.
Further Maths is designed for students with an enthusiasm for maths, many of whom will go on to degrees in maths, engineering, the sciences and economics—it is not ‘for the faint hearted’ and ideally your tutor should be a specialist in this subject. Doc Ghouse has a wealth of experience in this subject and will provide bespoke tuition to suit your needs and aspiration. Doc Ghouse is passionate about ensuring you feel engaged and supported in Further Maths and are poised for higher level study at university.
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).

“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!”

"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."

"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."
