Our Tutors

Every Fraley tutor is a high-performing maths or physics student at a leading UK university. Many sat these exact exams only a few years ago, and Alex personally interviews and selects each one for how well they explain, not just how well they score.

Who explains a topic best?

Someone who understood it deeply enough to get a top grade, and who remembers exactly where it stops making sense. Our tutors work with this mathematics and physics at a high level every day, and many sat their A-Levels within the last few years. They are not school teachers, and that is deliberate: they bring a fresh route into each topic, and a lesson built entirely around one student.

Every tutor here has proven they can teach. Alex personally interviews each one, and only brings on tutors whose teaching ability and experience impress him.

And every tutor has support behind them: a bank of exam-style questions chosen for your exam board, and work marked the same day, so your tutor walks into each lesson already knowing where to start.

Every tutor on this page walks in backed by…
