Math Chronicles

Why does our method work so well?

The buildings which we live, work and visit are trusted to be strong and sturdy with a solid foundation. Imagine a few bricks missing here and there, would the building be safe? Mathematics taught in schools is similar.

Students go through the school years gathering knowledge which is used and built on later. When they reach their GCSE’s, they are expected to have a firm grip on Maths. Unfortunately, in recent times, many fall through the cracks and fall behind; they might say “I can’t learn this, Maths is not for me, I hate going to Maths classes… etc”. For these students something went wrong, they fell behind, lost confidence and are now on the verge of giving up.

At Maths Chronicles, we figure out what went wrong, patch the learning gaps and work on building their confidence. We teach them Maths from different angles until they realise not only is Maths an important subject, but fun too! We use real-life examples, interesting histories and story-telling to build a holistic understanding, equipping them with the intellectual tools necessary to face the challenges and complexities of the world around them.

We specialise in uplifting students who are struggling. We focus on guiding students on how to think and not what to think, preparing them to become independent and confident learners that go far beyond the examined curriculum.

Dear Students and Parents

The Blue Print

Reach and exceed your expectations!

We approach lessons with empathy, understanding and teach with patience.

HOW?

Building trust that you will be guided to success.

We challenge you until you begin to challenge yourself.

Teach us what you have learnt. If you can teach us Maths it means you are well on your way to passing your exams!

What we aim to achieve together:

Transform students from being spoon-fed information to thinking independently for themselves by raising the students’ confidence from “I can’t do it” attitude to “I will do it”

For the student to achieve their highest potential grade in GCSE Maths by teaching them to become more independent and eventually, tutor-free. As the old saying goes: ‘Give a man a fish you’ll feed him for the day. Teach him how to fish and you’ll feed him for a lifetime.’

Not only to prepare for the next challenges in life, such as A levels and University, but to inspire a passion for learning, making it fun and rewarding.

ANOTHER WAY. A BETTER WAY OF LEARNING

Teach theory through stories, real life examples and interesting histories.

Practice questions starts easy and incrementally becomes more challenging.

We don’t just give answers. We give hints and guide the student to find the answers themselves.

We encourage the students to build a positive can
do attitude.

We swap roles and the student teaches us what
they’ve learnt. Which gives us an understanding of
how much they have grasped.

My name is Abbas Khoja and I’m 25 years old. I am currently a doctor working in Nottingham. I have known Ezra for over 10 years. I can attest to his compassionate character tutoring ability and overall charismatic and friendly style of engaging with students. I was in year 10 nine years ago, this is when I first met Ezra for (tuition) twice weekly particularly for maths and physics GCSE. As I wanted to study medicine at university, I knew I needed to get excellent grades and also having moved from Dublin. I was not familiar with the UK examination format. Ezra not only helped me familiarise myself with how to perform well in UK based exams, exam skills with past paper Questions every lesson that he came was well prepared and structured with learning objectives for each session. I continued receiving (tuition) with Ezra for two years completing year 10 and year 11 and writing my GCSE exams. I managed to achieve A stars in both maths and further science and I believe this was largely due to the help I received from Ezra and his inspiring style of teaching. I highly recommend Ezra as a tutor if you are looking to achieve excellent grades and becoming good at navigating exam style questions with more ease.

Ezra taught me physics during my A-level years as I was struggling with the teaching style at school (I’m dyslexic as the teachers would just write things on the board and read them out without much explanation.) Ezra was very patient with me trying to understand everything properly and was always trying to explain things in better ways so I could grasp the concepts better. This really helped me remember everything better and allowed me to answer more complex questions in case they came up. He was honestly a life saver. Without him I definitely would have received a much worse grade.

I’ve been diagnosed with dyslexia from a young age and because of this I was put in bottom set classes for all subjects throughout my school years. This affected my confidence and I assumed I just wasn’t smart enough, so I gave up trying. I was first introduced to Ezra during the last academic year of my GCSE’s as I needed some extra help with maths. From our first encounter, I realised that he wasn’t like any other tutor I had come across. His interactive teaching methods caught my attention allot easier compared to past tutors. He also had allot of confidence in my mathematical abilities which therefore allowed me to find my own. I went from studying lower tier maths, to studying higher tier maths all during the last year of my GCSE’s. To put this in perspective, students that were studying for higher tier maths had been studying for around 2 years and I only had around 6 months to learn everything. I’ll be forever grateful for the academic confidence Ezra gave me, I cannot recommend him enough.

Ezra helped me out in revising for my GCSEs and his advice was extremely beneficial, particularly in assisting me with my physics and mathematics, areas which I had struggled with for years. The extensive support I received from him was certainly a contributing factor to the 9’s I received in both these subjects. I’d highly recommend his services to anyone trying to level up their understanding of any subjects that he offers support on!

Ezra was my maths tutor for two years when I was doing my GCSE’s. Before he was my tutor I struggled massively with the curriculum, Ezra made maths fun by just being happy to talk and laugh with me instead of being overly strict. He was patient with me when I didn’t understand things and made it clear how happy he was when I did things right. He was more supportive than my teachers and I would never have done as well as I did if it weren’t for Ezra.

About The Tutor:
Ezra

Whilst studying Mathematics and Astrophysics, I was never satisfied with just one answer, so I would read multiple books and articles to get different perspectives of the same topic. This experience gave me a deeper understanding. Tutoring for 10 plus years has helped me break down complicated ideas into simple, easy to understand bits of information.

Many students have said ‘I’ve never learnt it this way before.’

I would like to dedicate my time to help students struggling with GCSE maths. To help them pass and watch them become confident, to be able to think for themselves independently and logically. Currently I am working on a video series which will cover the whole of GCSE course, it will be uploaded online for free.

I hope that you will accept this invitation as your Maths tutor to help you unlock these wonderful qualities and apply them to your school education. It is a truly remarkable feeling to finally feel like you are reaching your full potential and most importantly, get an insight into the beauty of Mathematics. It will be a privilege to teach you and help you reach these goals.
