Why choose Dr Grant

Mathematical depth
that makes it click

Economics degrees with maths-heavy training
A BA, MPhil and PhD from Cambridge in economics and econometrics. The mathematical content of Further Maths is a foundation Dr Grant uses in research. This depth of understanding makes it easier to explain things in multiple ways until the student finds the one that works for them.
Knows exactly what examiners want
Twelve years setting and marking university-level exams in mathematical subjects. The same rigour about what gets marks and what loses marks translates directly to A-Level exam technique.
Oxbridge maths students welcomed
Students aiming for Oxford, Cambridge or Imperial who need to work beyond the standard A-Level syllabus. STEP, MAT, BMO, can be accommodated. See also the Oxbridge preparation page.
Any pace, any gap
Some students need one session to fix one topic before an exam. Others need a systematic course through an entire year of content. Both are fine. The free initial consultation establishes what is actually needed.

FAQs

A-Level Maths tutoring FAQ

OCR, Edexcel, and AQA A-Level Mathematics and Further Mathematics. Sessions use past papers and mark schemes from the student's specific board. Please mention your exam board when you get in touch.

Yes. Resit preparation is a common request. The approach is to diagnose exactly what went wrong in the first sitting, whether gaps in understanding, exam technique, or time management, and focus the remaining sessions on those specific issues.

Yes. Full GCSE Maths support across all major exam boards. Typically students at GCSE level benefit from a more structured session programme rather than one-off sessions, but both formats are available.
