Meet your new maths tutor
We all need a little bit of extra help sometimes. Maybe we need someone to show us how to build a website. Or a personal trainer to keep us accountable when we’re trying to keep fit. Sometimes we might just need a bit of guidance, instruction, motivation and accountability when it comes to mathematics.
Who am I?
I'm Dafydd and I'm here to help. I've been teaching, guiding, encouraging and motivating students since 2005. I qualified as a mathematics teacher from Canterbury Christ Church University following a degree in financial mathematics from the University of Kent. I spent 5 glorious years teaching at Maidstone Grammar School for Boys then hiraeth called me back to Wales. Following short spells at Caerleon Comprehensive and Cwmcarn High School I taught at Ysgol Gyfun Gymraeg Plasmawr for 8 years through the medium of Welsh. I tutored on and off for 14 years before making it my primary career. Having been an examiner and principle examiner for different exam boards since 2012 I am well equipped to get the most out of the student you care most for.

You’re a really good teacher. You explain things really well. I’ve never understood that until today.
Iwan
Year 12
I’ve really appreciated and enjoyed the classes. You explained things so that I could understand.
A Level
This is where my experience as an examiner helps the most. I’ve been examining and writing exam papers for A Level statistics for 8 years. A lot of students find statistics hard. I can bridge the gap between knowledge and application. I can also help with pure and if absolutely necessary with mechanics!
GCSE
We know how important GCSEs are, especially maths. Some people need a bit of help to get them to where they want to be. These are my most popular sessions. I have years of experience as an examiner here too.
KS3
Not leaving it too late is so important when trying to get ahead so I offer KS3 classes as well to anyone who feels like things are moving a bit too fast and they just want a bit of help to keep up. Even if you think it’s too late, if you start now you give yourself every chance.
