About Steve
About me -
I received a 1st class honours degree in Mathematics in 2009, but despite attempts by my tutors at the University of Birmingham to persuade me to continue into academia, I had my sights set on playing squash professionally which I did between 2010-2016 until blighted by a slew of injuries. I reached a career high of 130 in the world before turning my hand to teaching squash, personal training, and academic tutoring.
The memories I have of all my favourite lessons were ones in which there were no books and no writing. Whether there was a hands on element to the lesson, a captivating story told by our teacher, or group activities and discussion, the common denominator was that the teacher peaked our curiosities (mine at least), and had us completely engaged from start to finish. It didn't feel like normal learning, and yet those lessons I can still remember well, 10-20 years later. I hope I can go on to nurture young pupils who, like me, just need an opportunity for open dialogue, to keep asking questions, in order to thrive.
I hope my experience as a professional squash player out of university will further enable me to help advise students as they reach those crucial junctions in their fledgling careers, giving them the confidence to make important decisions and not just pass tests.

Experience -
I have been tutoring one-to-one for 12 years now. I always found time after school to tutor pupils around my training bases, travelling round the houses after I had finished my own training sessions. I tutored Maths and Science initially, with pupils ranging in age from 8-18. Whether prospective medical, law or Ivy League undergraduates preparing for their final exams, or younger children whose parents were simply looking for a helping hand with homework, I got to work with a broad mix of students of varying personalities and capabilities. Since 2020 I have been tutoring more online, in particular in light of the covid pandemic, during which I began teaching English to overseas students alongside my usual commitments.
Approach -
Clearly not everybody learns in the same way, and certainly without the right tools, it is difficult to make sense of information, let alone build upon it or have any personal insights. My approach to tutoring involves balancing those types of lessons in which pupils feel they have complete freedom to explore a topic according to what they find interesting, diving down what rabbit holes they will, against developing a disciplined practice of the core concepts of the subject at hand. Whether that is the scientific method, sentence structure and vocabulary, or arithmetic, these are the foundations upon which pupils can start to really enjoy learning, and ultimately part with their teachers and begin to direct their own learning. As much as possible I try to refrain from providing answers, electing instead to guide my students through the use of questions so that the discoveries made are their own.
I typically take hour long sessions, although for exam prep sessions can be made open ended and an hourly rate set in order to get through material as required.
