The speedy response to get some SOS tutoring happening as soon as possible, was much appreciated and also the effective listening by Chris to discern quickly what could be offered and achieved in this somewhat urgent situation.
About to see the commencement of this online tutoring assistance for a grandchild in his senior secondary years, and looking forward to seeing a much more positive outcome than it would otherwise be for the upcoming senior exams.

Chris was a great maths tutor for me. He’s very good at teaching concepts in a multitude of ways such that regardless of my learning style for the topic, he could quickly help me understand it. He also has very in-depth knowledge about the way to approach exams, and has helped me succeed in both assessments and exams. I highly recommend Chris as a tutor. More...

Chris has been teaching my children for 2 years. He is the best maths teacher in the school. He has a thorough understanding of maths and is excellent at explaining the content.

Phelopatir Abdel-Malak
I was taught under Christopher Stirrat for 2 years since year 11. From my experience, his teaching ability allows learning mathematics an easier experience.
His work ethic consistently encouraged me and my fellow students to further progress our learning.
At the start of year 11, I was struggling with mathematics, so I requested private tutoring from him. What I found was that Christopher's tutoring style informs the student on the content while allowing the student to complete the work themselves so that the content sticks to their mind. Despite my shortcomings, Christopher was accepting and kind while tutoring me, letting me feel comfortable and more able to engage with his teaching without it feeling like a stressful chore. Gradually, I was able to improve my understanding of the mathematical questions and my speed in completing them which is important during an exam.
It is sufficient to say that Christopher's tutoring has allowed to pass both Year 11 and 12 and improve greatly my work ethic.

Chris is not only a fantastic teach and tutor but most importantly a great man who is understanding and extremely supportive of his students decisions. Being in this level of teaching for a decade now his methods are unmatched. Chris taught me mathematics through the entirety of my senior years at school and I’m all the wiser from it. I can’t think of a greater person as a tutor for myself or for any of my mates. More...
Essam Abdel-malak
I have known Christopher for more than six years, it was a pleasure to have him as my son's tutor. Christopher showed a lot of moral values and kindness, he is strongly committed to what he's doing.
He is helpful and very skillful in his subject.
Also he is excellent in doing plans to suit each student, the strategy he used with my son was effective so that my son had a remarkable improvement in few weeks.
I strongly recommend to have Christopher as a tutor as he's got the skills and experience that are needed for the job.
I am happy to provide any further information about Christopher, please feel free to email me.

Chris has been working with our daughter this year. We have seen a huge growth in her confidence and ability all things ‘mathematics’. She regularly describes Chris as having a practical approach to what she has previously found foreign and she delights in her heightened ability to problem solve. We appreciate the relaxed environment offered and are grateful that Chris will work with our daughter through her final years at high school. More...
Ali Abbas
As a year 12 student I was struggling on some concepts of maths, but Chris has this ability to explain maths unlike anybody else. Chris is a very organised and is very nice to work with. Let’s you ask questions and answers them very well. If you struggle with a concept he will explain every part of the concept to you and even provide you with examples to test if you understood the content. More...

Many people are good at Maths but not many can teach Maths. Chris can teach Maths as he tailors to the individual’s strength and weakness.

Chris is excellent! He is friendly, reliable and very methodical in his lessons. Have never seen anyone as good in math as Chris.
Clancy
I used to think that i was good at math until i made it to year 11. I was struggling with the standard curriculum and decided to look for a tutor. When i first met chris he seemed to really know what he was doing, he was polite, super cool and remained professional while still not managing to bore me with the topics. He's great at communicating, could make anyone understand the most difficult of maths and always made sure i understood a topic before moving on. After just our first session together he told me i was capable of doing advanced maths, and i trusted him enough to go with it, and i did well, at first it was very different but with just an hour and a half every week was enough to keep me up and sometimes even ahead in the class. i really owe it to Chris for helping me and getting me through advanced maths, if you're looking for a math tutor who will help you or your kids excel more then they ever have before, you've found one.

My 15 year old son has been tutored by Chris for the past couple of months and incredibly he is actually enjoying the Math tutoring sessions! There's no push back or grumbling about having the session each week. My son has noticed the benefits of having Chris's support, and finds it easy to ask questions of him and get the clarity he needs, due to Chris's friendly yet professional manner. More...
What do you love most about your job?
I love the moment a student finishes a session and it is abundantly clear that they are leaving with a new-found confidence and understanding.
What inspired you to start your own business?
The ability to truly change a students mindset about academia (Mathematics more specifically) and help them realise that with some help they can truly reach their potential.
Why should our clients choose you?
Because, I provide a service which is catered towards the students needs and take them time and effort to truly understand where and in what manner a student can improve. I then tailor the manner in which I teach for the student.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
As discussed in my service section I am most definitely capable of providing online/remote assistance, whether it be via a video lesson or creating video content for a student.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
I have become a lot better and more adept with my online services and have seen a great improvement in the manner in which I teach via online technology.
Mathematics Tutor
I offer one to one as well as group tutoring both in person and online. I have an in-depth knowledge and experience with both formats. I understand that many people have reservations when it comes to online tutoring, but with my skills and experience, the sessions I provide are just as beneficial and I have the testaments of past/present students to back my claim.
As well as tutoring I am also able to provide email/messaging assistance on a regular basis. Furthermore, I can create tutorial videos dependent on your learning needs.
