Welcome to CDE Maths Tutoring

CDE Maths Tutoring offers personalised lessons to secondary school and sixth form students. All of my lessons are 1-to-1 meaning that the only thing that matters in each lesson is the learning of the student.

All lessons are 100% online meaning there is no stranger coming to your house and you don’t have to worry about sending your child off to someone else’s house either. Parents and/or guardians are welcome to sit in on the lessons too to give you absolute peace of mind.

All lessons are taught by me, Chris Desmond, who is a fully qualified teacher of mathematics with 7 years of teaching experience, some of which also being assistant head of mathematics at a school in Worcestershire. I am still employed by the school to do irregular work with the maths department, but turned my focus to online lessons after needing a bit more flexibility in my work. I have two DBS checks, one by the school and one paid for privately.

50 minute online lessons individually tailored to each student

Lessons are scheduled to be twice a week, once a week or once a fortnight and the choice is all yours. Information on pricing can be found on my Tutoring page.

What parents/guardians have been saying about CDE Maths Tutoring:

“Chris was my son's teacher in high school and he always regarded him as an amazing teacher. He truly enjoyed the lessons on Google Meet and felt more confident after each session. Highly recommended. ” -Flo

“Amazing tutor/teacher. So thorough, engaging and professional, highly recommended.” -Lisa

“Thank you so much for working with my daughter. She has made so much progress recently and really grown in confidence under your guidance.” -Michelle

“We cannot recommend Chris highly enough. Our son was already performing well in Higher Maths, but wanted some additional support with the more challenging Grade 8 and 9 topics. Chris worked with him on these areas and made a huge difference to both his understanding and confidence.

Just as importantly, he genuinely enjoyed working with Chris. Our son is very particular about the tutors he works with and is not easily impressed, so the fact that he looked forward to his sessions and spoke so positively about them is a real testament to Chris’s teaching style and personality.

We are extremely grateful for the help he has provided and are already hoping to work with him again from September when our son and his twin brother begin studying Maths at A-level. If you are looking for a tutor who can help students master even the most challenging areas of the curriculum while building confidence and enthusiasm for the subject, we would not hesitate to recommend Chris.” -Samantha

 FAQs

  • A link will be sent to you ahead of each lesson. I use Google Meet and this means you need nothing more than an internet-enabled device to connect. I recommend a laptop due to the size of the screen, but I have taught students who have used tablets and/or phones successfully.

    You will also need a pen and paper as well as a calculator for each lesson.

  • All lessons are taught by me, Chris Desmond, a qualified maths teacher employed by a school in Worcestershire. I have experience with curriculum design as a former assistant head of department and I started tutoring in 2024.

    I have two DBS checks (one by the school and one I pay for privately).

    My lessons are all online which means you don’t have to worry about a stranger coming into your home. Parents and/or guardians are welcome to sit in on all lessons.

  • I have experience teaching KS3-KS5 (Y7-13 age 11-18) and I mainly tutor GCSE and A Level students.

  • Most students that I teach ask for weekly lessons, but you can also choose to have lessons fortnightly or twice a week if you wish.

  • The price of lessons is fixed from the time of your first lessons so if I have to raise prices at any point, you will not be affected.

  • At the end of each lesson, you will receive an email with an invoice with all of the payment information required. Payment is requested through bank transfer.
