// how_a_maths_session_works

Anatomy of a maths session.

Every line of working, derived live on a shared canvas you keep. Calculus, linear algebra and statistics taught the way they’re actually understood — step by visible step, with you stopping me the instant a line doesn’t land.

// the_step_not_the_answer

We correct the step, not the answer.

A red X on a finished answer teaches you nothing about where your method slipped. On a live shared canvas I can see every line as you write it — so we catch the exact step that breaks, fix that, and the answers fix themselves.

  • Worked on the whiteboard, live. Calculus, linear algebra and statistics are derived step-by-step on the shared canvas — you watch each line appear and stop me the instant one doesn’t land.
  • You solve, I correct in real time. We alternate problems on the board so I catch the exact step where your method slips, instead of marking a finished answer wrong with no trail.
  • The board is yours afterward. The full canvas is autosaved per session, so your revision notes are the actual derivations we did together — not a clean textbook version you didn’t write.

// the_60_minute_hour

What a real maths hour looks like.

The same deliberate rhythm as every session — tuned to how maths is actually learned.

60 min · 1-on-1 · live
  1. 0:00

    Name the target problem

    The integral type that keeps appearing on past papers, the matrix concept that won’t stick, the proof your course expects. We name one target and build the hour backwards from it — and from your exam date if you have one.

    one concept, one hour
  2. 0:05

    You solve one, untouched

    You work a problem your way while I only watch. Not a test — a diagnosis: your existing method shows me the exact step where it slips, which is usually two lines earlier than where the answer goes wrong.

    find the slipping step

    Derive it together

    The core of the hour on the shared canvas: we rebuild the idea line by line, with every step visible and challengeable. Your job is to stop me the instant a line doesn’t follow — that interruption is the lesson working.

    every line earns its place
  4. 0:40

    You take the marker

    A sibling problem, solved by you on the board while I watch quietly. If the slipping step slips again, we catch it live and loop back — the correction lands on the step, never just the final mark.

    Canvas saved & recap

    The board autosaves with every derivation we wrote, so your revision notes are the real working in your own hand. The written summary follows by email with the one technique to drill before next time.

    revision notes, autosaved

// the_toolkit

Four tools. Nothing to install.

Everything runs in the browser, and everything we make stays yours afterwards.

Shared live canvas

Excalidraw-style whiteboard — both of us draw on it at the same time.

Autosave, per session

Every stroke kept and tied to your session record for revision.

Step-level correction

The exact line that slips gets fixed — not just the final answer marked.

// honest_answers

Maths questions, answered straight.

The things people actually ask before their first maths session.

What levels of maths do you cover?

High-school through university: calculus (limits, derivatives, integrals, series), linear algebra (vectors, matrices, eigenvalues), and the statistics that underpins data work. Each subject has its own level ladder on its tutoring page, so you start exactly where you are.

How does maths tutoring work without pen and paper?

The shared canvas replaces the paper — and improves on it, because we’re both writing on the same board in real time and it never gets lost. A mouse works fine for maths notation at the pace we go; a tablet and stylus is more comfortable but completely optional. You can also keep working on paper and type the key step into the canvas.

Is this exam prep or concept-building?

Both, and honestly they converge: exam technique built on a shaky concept collapses under a rephrased question. When you have an exam date we work backwards from it with past-paper problems; when you don’t, we build the conceptual ladder at your pace. Either way, the slipping step gets found and fixed.

Will I always see the full working?

Always — full visible working is the entire point of the whiteboard format. No skipped steps, no “it can be shown that”. And because the canvas autosaves, the full working stays available to you for revision afterwards.

Do you teach calculus and linear algebra both?

Yes, both — plus the statistics that data-science work leans on. They’re separate subjects with separate level ladders on the site, and plenty of students do a block of one and then the other, since university courses tend to demand both at once.
