An exceptional opportunity has arisen for a highly qualified and experienced Russian Mathematics Tutor to support an 8-year-old boy who is currently educated at home within a structured and academically ambitious environment. Based in Oxshott, this is a part-time role for a specialist able to deliver a rigorous and concept-driven mathematics programme.


The family are seeking a tutor with a strong foundation in the tradition commonly referred to as "Old School Russian Mathematics." Their priority is the development of deep conceptual understanding, logical reasoning, and genuine mathematical thinking. The successful candidate will build strong foundations and guide the student towards advanced and Olympiad-level mathematics once core skills are securely established.


This role requires a structured and methodical educator who can deliver engaging, intellectually stimulating lessons while maintaining high academic expectations. The programme will be built around recognised Russian mathematics textbooks, including Peterson, Geydeman, and Abramson, and familiarity with these authors and their methodology is essential.


Sessions will take place 3–4 times per week (duration to be agreed) at the family home. The tutor will work within a wider home education framework and may liaise with the family and other educators to ensure a cohesive academic approach.
