- GCSEs: seven grade 9s, including Maths and Further Maths, three grade 8s and a grade 7
- Taught by Giuliano as a student
Edith was a GG Maths student before she was a GG Maths tutor, and she trained with Giuliano before taking her first student here. Her approach is calm and supportive, and her teaching is built on patience.
11+Years 7 to 9GCSEA-Level
- In his first year studying Economics at the University of Bristol
- A-Levels: A in Maths, Physics and Biology
- Two years helping Reception children at an after-school club, while still at school
- Taught by Giuliano as a student
Albi was a GG Maths student before he was a GG Maths tutor. His two years with Reception children taught him what younger children find hard and how to help them past it, which is why he is so popular with younger students. He is very patient, and he lets children explore more than one way to answer a problem rather than teaching one method only.

How we teach
Six of the rules Giuliano trains every tutor in. He teaches this way himself.
-
Questions, and time to think.
Lots of questions, none of them yes or no, and pauses long enough for your child to work out the answer.
-
Slowly.
Tutors speak slowly and calmly, and nothing is rushed. It's better that your child understands it the first time than hears it three times.
-
Simple words, whatever the level.
Short explanations in plain language. Ten words, not a hundred.
-
One idea at a time.
No detours. Your child learns what they need now and nothing more. The harder parts come later, once the foundation is solid.
-
Your child chooses how to start.
When it isn't clear where to begin, the tutor asks: "Shall I teach you this one, shall we do it together, or do you want to try it on your own?"
-
Never "does that make sense?"
Nearly every child says yes, whether they've understood or not. So a lesson ends with questions they can only answer if they have. For example: what does dy/dx = 0 mean? What about dy/dx > 0? What does a maximum point look like, and how do you find one?
What a week with a tutor looks like
-
The lesson.
Sixty minutes, one to one and online, on whatever is costing marks right now.
-
The week in between.
Your child photographs their working and uploads it to the portal. Their tutor marks it and writes back before the next lesson, and the next piece of homework is set on the topics losing marks.
-
What you see.
A short note from the tutor after every lesson: what they covered, how it went, what is next. Giuliano reads the same notes.
True of every tutor teaching here
- Picked and trained by Giuliano before their first lesson.
- Teaching maths and nothing else.
- Every piece of work your child uploads, and every note their tutor writes after a lesson, sits in the portal where Giuliano can read it.
From 11+ to university entrance, each stage hands over to the next. See the GG Maths path.
