Meet Your A-Level Maths Tutor
My name is Mike Danzelman and I graduated with a BSc in Mathematics from the University of Sheffield in 1994. I have a Postgraduate Certificate of Education (PGCE) and am a qualified teacher.
Since 1998 I’ve been a full-time teacher, specialising in Edexcel A-Level Maths and Further Maths, and Head of Department at a leading independent fifth and sixth form tutorial college in London. I’ve spent over 25 years delivering two-year A-Level courses, accelerated one-year retake courses and Easter revision programmes to hundreds of students. During my career, I’ve taught pupils from top independent schools including Westminster, St. Paul’s Girls' School, Godolphin & Latymer, City of London School for Girls, Eton, Dulwich College, Francis Holland and many others. I’ve also tutored pupils from state schools and international students who are new to the UK education system. Many of these students share the same goal: to achieve top grades and gain entry to leading UK universities.
I am passionate about my subject and I invest in the success of every student I teach. I am a firm believer in academic integrity and understand that maths can only be mastered through a careful, systematic approach that grows from solid foundations. I offer the best possible tuition using a combination of the highest quality materials and an accessible, academically rigorous teaching style.
What to look for when choosing a tutor
There’s no shortage of people offering A-Level Maths tuition, but choosing the right tutor is important. A good tutor needs more than a strong academic background. They should have a thorough understanding of the A-Level syllabus, substantial teaching experience and the ability to explain difficult ideas clearly and at the right level.
So what should you look for in a tutor?
A good tutor is someone who is patient and approachable, who understands their subject and can explain difficult ideas clearly and concisely. A great tutor can quickly build a rapport with a student, assess where their weaknesses are and tailor their teaching to meet those needs. The best tutors also have many years of classroom and individual teaching experience. They fully understand the syllabus and its nuances, anticipate the common pitfalls and show students how to overcome them, build confidence and push them to achieve the very best they are capable of.
How is my approach different?
Most schools and tutors base their lessons around a textbook. While that can provide a useful structure, no single textbook can fully meet the demands of the A-Level or address the needs of every student.
With many competing pressures, delivering the syllabus in sufficient detail can be a real challenge, even for the best schools. Frequently, just a handful of examples are given before moving on to the next topic. When it comes to exam papers, many students can find it difficult to know where to start or how to apply what they have learned.
This is where I can really help.
I’ve spent much of my career creating and fine-tuning my own resources so that everything I do has the examination in mind, right from our very first lesson. As an Edexcel A-Level Maths and Further Maths specialist, I start with the basics and quickly delve deeper to explore how simple ideas can be applied in increasingly demanding and creative ways. I make extensive use of past examination questions, carefully sequenced to build confidence and help you become familiar with the different ways a particular topic can be examined.
My targeted, bespoke approach focuses on what you need to know and understand, without wasting time on unnecessary material. I’ll help you fill the gaps that textbooks and classroom teaching often leave behind, show you how to apply your knowledge to a wide range of questions and understand how different ideas in maths fit together, so you are fully prepared when the time comes.
