Steve Stokes | Maths Tutor & Learning CoachÂ
👤 ABOUT STEVE
I am a maths tutor with a background in education and professional work supporting diverse learners. I have worked across primary education, secondary support, adult learning, and community-based roles.
Before focusing on maths tutoring, I worked for many years as a qualified Occupational Therapist, supporting people with a wide range of learning, cognitive, and life challenges. I am not currently practising as an Occupational Therapist.
This background has given me a broad understanding of how people learn, where they can encounter barriers, and how teaching can be adapted when traditional approaches haven't worked for them.
Teaching philosophy
I believe maths should be:
Understandable
Logical
Taught at the learner's pace
Free from shame or pressure
My role is not to rush through content, but to build solid foundations and confidence.
I have experience working with children and adults across a wide range of abilities, including people with learning difficulties and additional support needs.
I believe everyone can learn maths with the right support, teaching style, and encouragement.
