Award winning professional mathematics tutor

“Jack has been an extremely helpful maths tutor. Our sessions are always adapted to my needs and he is always fully prepared with exam questions always on-hand. I am grateful that Jack is always willing to spend extra time tutoring me and he is always reliable as we have been able to meet for more than 35 weeks in one year. He has given me useful tips on how to layout my calculations efficiently as well as tips on becoming more time-efficient, all of which have really helped for exams that I have had.”

“Jack has been tutoring both my son and daughter over the last 2 years. He has been flexible enough to coach my son successfully through A level maths and my daughter continues to rely on his help for the differing demands of the IB diploma. He has been totally reliable and professional and moreover, his patient approach to teaching has brought the best out of both my children. A key part of problem solving for my son in particular, was a lack of self belief and having Jack go through the issues and set examples for homework has been the solution to restoring his confidence in the subject. The A grade he attained came from a lot of hard work and a good deal of guidance, for which Jack played a major role.”

“Jack began tutoring James from February of Year 13, after James had received an offer from Cambridge to study Maths. Jack has been an outstanding tutor. He explained concepts really well, was very responsive and was an excellent communicator and teacher. He advised on how to approach STEP questions, taught any necessary background Maths and advised on exam technique, with his input all tailored to James's abilities. Very highly recommended for STEP tuition. James exceeded his STEP offer and started studying Mathematics at the University of Cambridge in the academic year 2023/24.”

“Jack Bartley is an amazing tutor, and the best I have had for Maths. I have been with Jack for just over a year and have spent many hours with him, In which he has tutored me in degree level Maths.

In particular Jack is excellent in approaching concepts from different angles to ensure that a difficult concept is easy to digest. Jack can teach a wide variety of mathematical concepts at an in-depth level and is able to link different concepts together to paint a full picture. It is easy to communicate with Jack and ask repeated questions in order to understand a topic that I may have a mental block on, and in each instance Jack may approach the topic in a different angle to insure that I have fully understood the topic.

The sessions are also run professionally and Jack is always punctual to the sessions. Further to this, the quality of the equipment, such as a high quality microphone and a graphics tablet, used is superb, making the online sessions outstanding as a result.

Communication outside sessions is easy and all emails are replied to within a timely manner.

I would definitely recommend Jack to anyone looking for a Maths tutor for any educational level.”

““I started tuition with Jack during my second year of undergraduate studies in mathematics and he has tutored me up until the completion of my degree. We have had both weekly sessions at the beginning of term as well as more frequent sessions closer to the exam periods when I was going through a difficult time in my life; in either scenario he demonstrated his exceptional ability at teaching complex mathematical concepts and proved to be of unbelievable value throughout the course of my degree.

I genuinely believe Jack has had a huge impact in my mathematical understanding and his experience through exam preparation played a significant role in my 1st class degree classification.
Although he did help me achieve well over 70% average in my 2nd year exams, what really impressed me about Jack was his help during the ‘final stretch’ of my 3rd year exams while I was going through a difficult period of my life.

Only a few months before my 3rd year final exams (5 mathematics exams in total, one of which he’d never covered before) I contacted Jack for help. I was completely lost, scared, and convinced I would not be able to do well, let alone pass, any of these 5 exams. As soon as I got in touch, Jack wasted no time to plan the exam preparation meticulously and went beyond my expectations to give me both personal advice as well as take the time after our sessions to encourage me and make sure I felt better with preparation every day.

He has been particularly patient and kept a very positive attitude throughout the ‘difficult’ first sessions where my understanding of the relevant topics was extremely limited and even when I thought merely passing the exams would be an impossible task. For this I am truly grateful and although I doubt someone as kind as him will ever admit it, I’m sure some other tutor would have probably turned me down as my mood and attitude were not easy to work with (to say the least.)

Furthermore, as my confidence and preparation were increasing, he gave me the right balance of encouragement and challenging material to cover and even started giving me strategic exam preparation advice (often even after hours) to help ease any exam-related stress. It has been extremely pleasant to work with him throughout this phase as I felt the value from the sessions had been growing. Jack also proved to be of immense value even days before the exams when, after many hours of preparation with him, I felt very confident in my abilities to do well as he still managed to teach me new methods/perspectives/concepts that he knew I could assimilate in no time.

As such, I would recommend Jack for undergraduate mathematics students that are either completely lost, need just some help, or are just sharpening their skills before exams as he has proved to add immense value and expertise at all stages of understanding of pure/applied maths modules. He has been an absolute pleasure to work with, is always on time for sessions and is very flexible with student demands. I could not have asked for a more accommodating, kind, and helpful tutor in Jack and would also like to thank Josh from The Profs for finding the perfect match for me.””
