Where It Began
A First-Class mathematician
who never stopped teaching.
I'm Ed. I hold a First-Class degree in Mathematics from the University of Exeter - the foundation of everything I've done since. But the credential I'm most proud of isn't academic. It's the decade I spent inside two of England's finest independent boarding schools, understanding from the inside what genuine mathematical education looks like at the highest level.

The Teaching Years
Inside two of
England's finest schools.
My teaching career took me to Blundell's School in Devon and Cranleigh School in Surrey - two of the most respected independent boarding schools in the country. At Cranleigh, my role extended well beyond the classroom. As Assistant Housemaster, I carried pastoral responsibility for students in my house: understanding their pressures, their confidence levels, and what they needed to thrive - not just academically, but personally.
That combination of academic rigour and genuine pastoral care is rare. It gave me a depth of understanding of the independent school student that most tutors simply don't have. I know the culture, the expectations, the exam boards - and crucially - the students themselves.
"Maths isn't a subject you either get or you don't. It's a subject that clicks when it's taught the right way. I've never met a student who couldn't make real progress with the right support."
— EdThe Chapter Nobody Expects
From the classroom
to professional hockey.
When a professional hockey contract came along, I took it. Since then I've won the Premier League title four times in five years and picked up European club medals along the way. Competing at that level taught me what genuine high performance looks like from the inside - and I bring that into every session I deliver.
Being a father to three young children keeps me equally grounded in what patience and encouragement actually look like day to day. The combination of those two worlds - elite sport and early parenthood - shapes everything about how I work with students.
Why Ed's Maths Exists
What the classroom
couldn't give me.
The classroom - even in the finest schools - has a built-in constraint: one teacher, many students. The child quietly struggling doesn't always get the question answered. The student who almost understands something doesn't get the extra ten minutes to actually get there.
I founded Ed's Maths to remove that constraint. Before session one, every student receives a diagnostic assessment to complete in their own time - so the very first session hits the ground running with a programme built on real findings. The team I've built shares that commitment entirely: all independent school educators, all DBS checked, all working to the same standard.
