Leon Simpson Tuition
One-to-one tutoring online from secondary to postgraduate level
I am Dr Leon Simpson. I am an online tutor of maths and physics with a commitment to and proven track record of raising attainment.
​I studied an MPhys degree in Physics at the University of Oxford, followed by a PhD in Mechanical Engineering at the University of Bath. I had a career in academic research, with postdoctoral research in mathematical physics done abroad behind me.
​
More recently, I worked at a college, teaching A-level Maths, Further Maths and Physics. Since leaving in 2018 I have worked as a tutor, ranging in scope from secondary education to helping postgraduate students.
Highlight of 2024 include 71% of my A-level Maths students obtaining A/A* grades, and 100% of my GCSE Maths students and 67% of my GCSE Physics students obtaining 8/9 grades.

Leon teaches in a clear and concise manner. By prioritising learning by first principles, he helps create a solid mathematical basis for exploring the fascinating field of mathematics. Alongside that he helps drill key exam skills to help maximise attainment. Â With his excellent teaching skills, he helped my son attain an A in A-level Maths.
Father of two A-level students
Although my son started late, Leon helped him to achieve the predicted grades in A-level Physics and Further maths and my son managed to secure his first choice of University. Leon provides feedback regularly and genuinely cares for the welfare of his students.
Mother of A-level student
Leon is an outstanding, highly dedicated, absolutely professional yet friendly and a calm tutor. His tutoring methods are simply great, very clear and concise, and quite engaging and encouraging. Leon does not waste your time and he has the intent to help you understand the subject in every single class. He gives regular feedback and helpful suggestions for improvement.
Our son started taking classes from Leon in year 12. He is a shy young boy and Leon tailored his classes accordingly around him. Leon's patience and support is beyond words!
Our son achieved exactly what Leon predicted both in AS-level's and A-levels. Leon tutored our son for Maths, Further Maths, and physics. He achieved grade A in both Physics and Further Maths at AS-levels (Grade A being the highest grade awarded at AS-levels). He then went on to achieve A*s at both Physics and Maths at A-levels.
Our son is going to a Russell group University to do Computer Science. Leon has helped our son to pursue his passion.
