Welcome to Mike-Roberts.net! If you're looking for one-on-one Maths tuition for your son or daughter, you've come to the right place! I offer learning for all levels - Primary, KS3, GCSE, A Level - and all abilities, with each lesson tailored to your individual requirements.
Whether your son or daughter is in need of last minute exam preparation, an all-round improvement in performance/enjoyment of the subject, a long term exam strategy or general confidence rebuilding, I have the experience and expertise to help them.
Have a browse around the site, particularly the What Pupils and Parents Think section below, and if you like what you see, please get in touch using the Contact page. I look forward to hearing from you.

Arrangements
I offer two types of tuition - In Person and Online.
In Person
I am flexible as to whether you come to me or I come to you. I currently live in Castle Avenue, Dover. More specific address details can be exchanged once we've established contact. Parents are more than welcome to come and sit in comfort with a cup of tea while lessons takes place.
Each lesson is 45 minutes long - see Tuition and Prices - though I am happy to adapt to circumstantial requirements.
On Line - all you need is a Broadband connection!
Online learning uses a Shared Whiteboard and, in effect, a normal phone conversation. Pupils have been thrilled and surprised at how effective it is as a method of learning. And parents have been thrilled at how convenient it is! You don't even have to be in the house while lessons take place!
The software used is free, safe, takes up minimal room on your computer and is very easy to set up. I can talk you through the installation process and it should only take 10 minutes.
As a guide, lessons are usually 30 minutes long - see Tuition and Prices.
What To Expect
For each pupil, I provide:
- reassurance that any Mathematical difficulty can be overcome
- a friendly face who they trust to ask questions
- a renewed sense of confidence in the subject
- a comfortable, fun and focused learning environment
- a clear sense of direction and strategy
If the pupil/parents are looking for maximum benefit, I often devise a set of practise questions (after each lesson) specific to the material covered in the lesson. These are usually sent to the pupil/parent by email (but other arrangements can be made), the idea being they are attempted in time for the next lesson. This allows us the flexibility to address problem areas spontaneously if needs be and also provides reassurance to both the pupils and myself that the material has been fully absorbed.
I aim to be 100% reliable. On the rare occasions I do need to rearrange, I aim to give a full week's notice.

"We are delighted with the progress George has made since Mike has been helping him. 45 minutes a week has boosted his confidence to such a degree that even his class teacher has noticed his greater contribution and understanding in lessons. He actually looks forward to Mike's session each week...which for extra tuition is nothing short of a miracle!"

"I really benefited from Mike's clarity of explanation and patience. In the space of a few lessons, I went from being petrified about my GCSE Maths exam to feeling confident and even secretly looking forward to it.
Having been predicted a C, I ended up with an A."

"Excellent tuition. Just what we needed. We really recommend Mike to anyone. Our only regret is that we didn't use him sooner."

"Difficulty with Maths homework is a thing of the past in the Turner household! I'd strongly urge anyone with any Maths problems to let Mike solve them!"
