I have over 6 years' experience tutoring Maths and Science, English, and VR/NVR from KS1 to A Level - covering the National Curriculum and AQA, OCR and IGCSE Edexcel exam boards, and have helped pupils with their 11+ entry to local independent schools in my local area such as Manchester Grammar School, Cheadle Hulme School and King's Macclesfield.

My main specialty is Mathematics, working specifically closely with GCSE Mathematics and the path to highly achieving in mathematical examination.

I've taught 1000+ hours of 1-1 lessons, though have also taught a significant number of 1-3 lessons as well. I've also taught in primary and secondary schools, and I bring that experience, though personalised, to benefit my tutees here with Keystone.

I obtained a first class degree in Earth Sciences from Durham, and specialised further with a master's degree in Sustainable Energy Geoscience from Manchester's renowned subsurface geoscience department. I now work as a technical subsurface geoscience professional.

I tutored extensively throughout my time at university and before starting my current position. I now tutor alongside my current role. I have used a range of mediums/platforms to tutor 1000+ hours across different subjects.

I have A-Levels in Mathematics (A*), Geology (A*) and Physics (A) as well as AS German. I have 15 GCSE's (14A, 1A*) and am passionate about education - it's always been something that's been a core focus of mine and I want to be able to help my tutees achieve their true potential.

However, despite solid grades, I also struggled at times and also had to learn the techniques required to succeed. I like to think this helps me connect to my students, after all, I went through the same process!

“Isaac has been brilliant! He is extremely reliable and flexible when needed. He helps my daughter with tricky Maths problems and explains everything clearly. She feels she is progressing well and seems much more confident before and after exams now.”

Parent

“My child needed some help with GCSE Geography and seeing Isaac’s background in similar subjects (as well as career within it) made him a clear favourite. With a friendly, empathetic approach to learning, he helped my daughter improve her grades across the board! She overperformed across all subjects and claimed it was in large part due to Isaac’s help. We’re more than happy to give this testimonial!”

Parent

“Isaac helped build our child’s confidence when preparing for all elements of their 11+ exam. Through his tutoring, our son’s skills in comprehension, verbal and non-verbal reasoning all massively improved. I was overjoyed to see how worthwhile it was and how much he enjoyed the sessions. Extremely pleased with Isaac’s work and can recommend to other parents in a similar situation.”

Parent

“My son required mathematics tuition for his GCSEs and Isaac seemed like a good choice – and it turned out to be the right one! Isaac really helped build my son’s confidence in the subject to the point of my son overachieving in the subject and wanting to take it to A-Level! Unimaginable a year ago! Really grateful to Isaac for all his work. Highly recommend.”

I've learnt that, over my years of tutoring, different students learn in very different ways. I've developed numerous techniques, tailored to students' needs to help personalise their learning journey.

My approach has been described as kind, empathetic, yet also firm in its approach to achieving results and creating long-lasting positive benefits to my students.

I work full time in energy geoscience, working internationally and utilising my linguistic skills to develop cross-border solutions to energy problems. I've balanced my work and tutoring commitments for many years now and I aim to continue to ensure consistent and reliable service to my clients.

In my spare time I usually learn languages - currently Italian, French and German. I enjoy hiking and climbing, and I also play the saxophone and lacrosse!
