About Me

Born in Leicester, England, I am now living in Argentina after spending the last 20 years of my working life as a Head Teacher here. A healthy body supports a healthy mind, so I am still very active as I play football, tennis and golf weekly. I also enjoy cooking, reading and tinkering with my 1928 Ford A Vintage car. I now travel extensively with my wife, however it is my intention to organise our travels around any student commitments I may undertake. In my life away from teaching I drove a number 12 London double decker bus for a year (1979) and obtained my Private Pilot’s licence in 1984.

Tutor Experience

I have taught GCSE/IGCSE and the International Baccalaureate Mathematics in the UK and overseas for more than 40 years. I am now retired, and I would like to use my vast experience to support any student who is studying for the IGCSE/GCSE Mathematics examinations. I love mathematics and try to teach it in a way that inspires my students to enjoy it too. I will teach in English, however I can also support the students in Spanish.
I am the IGCSE Mathematics Facilitator for ESSARP, who represent all the schools in Argentina whose students sit for the exam, so I have all the necessary resources at my disposal.

Client Reviews

I was very impressed with Ian he has a calm, patient manner and made the lesson enjoyable for my daughter. I had technical issues so had to end up using my phone rather than the laptop.

Testimonials

Ian is probably one of the best math teachers I ever had! He has a kind, patient, and professional attitude, and has provided great help in boosting my math grades from a predicted C up to an A in my IGCSE. I cannot recommend him enough to anybody who wants to learn in a really fun and comfortable atmosphere. I really look forward to contacting him whenever I need help as I navigate AS and A-Level Math. (Tudor, September 2025)

Thank you Ian for you brilliant teaching. I felt really supported and encouraged to push myself. The sessions were relaxed and I learned loads. I enjoyed chatting and felt really at ease and didn’t worry about making mistakes. I went from a steady grade 5 to getting a 7 in my Maths GCSE and I am really really happy. (Roisin, September 2025)

Ian, thanks so much. It really has made a difference to her to have this tutoring from you. School is wonderful but hard to get that kind of individual support. I can see her confidence has really been boosted. (Ellen, Roisin's mother, June 2025)
