1 to 1 Tutoring in Science and Maths

  • I offer 1 to 1 tuition for KS2 to GCSE in all of the sciences and also maths.

  • I am very flexible in my approach and am very much student led, but I use my wide range of experience to find the best way to work with a student, to maximise their learning.

  • Please see the testimonials below, given to me by many of my students and their parents.

  • To contact Michael Collard with enquiries about 1 to 1 tutoring, please email mike@totallearn.co.uk or use the contact page here.

    " Mike connected the dots for me and brought concepts to life. He is chilled but direct and helped me enormously without me always realising it.
    He is very patient and a good laugh too.
    Mike is great. I’ve gone from dreading physics lessons to being sad that post GCSE I won’t be studying it anymore. "

    " Mike was recommended to us and has been a tutor for my daughter for the last ten months.
    He is incredibly calm and patient. His approach has given my daughter back her confidence in chemistry and physics which is fantastic.
    He has a flexible approach and has provided all the resources needed for our sessions so we haven't had to worry about that.
    Thanks again Mike 🙂 "

    " Mike tutored my daughter in maths leading up to her GCSEs. He made a subject she doesn't feel particularly confident in more accessible and found ways to make it make sense.
    She found Mike approachable and friendly and, judging by the laughter, even enjoyed the maths sessions!
    I would highly recommend Mike if your child needs to improve on their maths or science, or even if they just need a boost of confidence.
    A great tutor. "

    " Without Mike's help I wouldn’t have been able to make it through my GCSE maths.
    After struggling with maths at school and just not getting it, Mike gave me the confidence and ability to pass my maths GCSE.
    He had endless amounts of patience and persevered with me with several different learning methods until I did understand. "

    " Maths was always the subject our Year 11 daughter felt less confident with at school and in readiness for her GCSE exams we asked Mike to help.
    He was brilliant! He made her feel at ease and able to ask questions, explained things clearly and made the tutoring enjoyable.
    I would highly recommend Mike if you are considering an extra boost to help your child. It certainly improved our daughters knowledge and confidence with maths.
    Thank you Mike! "

    " My son needed help with physics GCSE, I found Mike locally and it was the best thing we ever did.
    Mikes tuition is excellent, he ended up teaching him maths aswell and my sons progress in school improved so much, he moved to higher teaching groups.
    Mike makes learning fun, he’s a happy, very capable and professional tutor and my son and myself get on very well with him.
    I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone!
    Thank you "

    " Arranged for Mike to tutor my 15yr old son whose interest in Maths was a little on the low side!!!
    Mike was super quick to respond and was able to fit us in at a convenient time. Needless to say his interest in the subject improved and he became more motivated for self study.
    Mike provided a much needed boost before his exams. Would highly recommend. "

    " Thank you so much for being an amazing tutor and getting me through my GCSEs "
    A student, June 2019


    " After 1 year of tuition with Mike, I can honestly say that he is an inspiring and incredible science tutor. Due to his vast amount of subject knowledge he can take abstract scientific principles to apply them to a real world context, in a way that not only greatly helps augment exam grades, but vastly improves general knowledge and understanding. Furthermore, he has helped me tackle longer 6 mark questions which has translated to a further great improvement in grades. I cannot recommend Mike more, not only is he a naturally gifted teacher, he is entertaining and has made lessons more interesting then I ever could have anticipated." "

    " I wanted to let you know that **** was absolutely thrilled with her Science GCSE Results a couple of weeks ago: 8 in Physics, and 7s in Chemistry and Biology. She really gained a lot from your tutoring sessions; your calm and helpful style was very encouraging, and she gained in confidence, as well as finding it very beneficial to be able to iron out any particularly grey areas.

    Daughter #2 has GCSEs in 2 years' time, so I'm sure that you will be hearing from us again.... "

    " What an excellent tutor! Has helped my daughter immensely. Was very patient and knowledgeable. I am sure that without his help she wouldn`t have been so confident about taking her GCSE`s. Would 100% recommend. Thank you so much!"

    " Thank u for all your help with **** you're a very kind man and it’s very much appreciated !! "

    " My two daughters had help from Mike in science and maths this year. They both found his tuition beneficial, by helping them to be more prepared for their exams. They found his sessions be to be fun and engaging. I would not hesitate to recommend Mike to other parents . "

    " Contacting Mike for science tuition for my 15yr old daughter couldn’t have been easier. He was quick to reply with possible options of support and a quick understanding of her needs. Mike's a great guy with the parents and young people and was able to give my daughter the boost she needed to build her confidence back in this subject. Thank you!! "

    " Very welcoming. Daughter is enjoying her lessons and feels she is learning more than she does during a weeks worth of science lessons at school. "

    " I happened to find Mikes advert on Facebook whilst searching for someone to help with my sons maths. He had always been good at maths during his younger years but had started to struggle coming into his final GCSE year. Although only a few weeks into being tutored he has managed to pass his mock exam and we are hopeful this continues into the exam proper. Mike clearly cares about the kids he tutors, whilst at the same time he puts them at ease with his approach to learning. Thanks for everything Mike. "

    " Dr Michael has tutored our children in both maths and the sciences at GCSE level to a very high standard and we would give him a 100% recommendation to anyone looking for tutoring in these fields. Michael has a lot of teaching experience and is able to inspire his students in his subjects. Our children really look forward to his sessions, which are really helping them move forward, especially in areas that they find trickier, such as physics, chemistry and certain areas of maths. We have found Michael to be very professional, prompt, accessible between lessons and a pleasure to work with. "
