Steve Stokes | Specialist Maths Tutor – Primary, Secondary, Adults and Neurodiverse learners 

👤 ABOUT STEVE

I am a specialist 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 fully 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 and now work exclusively as a maths tutor.

This background helps me understand how people think, learn, and sometimes struggle — especially when traditional teaching approaches have not worked for them.

 Teaching philosophy

I believe maths should be:

My role is not to rush content, but to build solid foundations and confidence.

As a qualified educator with experience as a primary and secondary school teacher, occupational therapist, and mental health & community support worker, I have worked with children and adults across a wide range of abilities, including individuals with learning difficulties and additional support needs.

I believe everyone can learn maths with the right support, teaching style, and encouragement.
