Is there a Maths and Science tutor near me in Crouch End?

Yes — Muhammad teaches in person in Islington and the surrounding boroughs, or at your home for an agreed premium, or online if the journey is a nuisance.

History

1465

Recorded as Crouchend

“Crouch” meant cross and “end” an outlying area; the name is recorded as Crouchend in 1465. The Clock Tower, a memorial to Henry Reader Williams, chairman of the local authority from 1880 to 1894, was designed by Frederick Knight and unveiled on 23 June 1895, with sculpture by Alfred Gilbert, who designed Eros in Piccadilly Circus. Hornsey Town Hall, by Reginald Uren, was built in 1933–35 for the Municipal Borough of Hornsey and is Grade II* listed. In 1965 the area passed from that borough to the London Borough of Haringey.

A local problem

Local problem11+

The Crouch End Clock Tower clock shows 2:30. What is the smaller angle between the hour hand and the minute hand?

Show answer

Minute hand: 360° in 60 minutes = 6° a minute. At 30 minutes it is 30 × 6 = 180° from the 12.

Hour hand: 360° in 12 hours = 30° an hour. At 2:30 it is 2.5 × 30 = 75° from the 12.

Difference = 180° − 75° = 105°. The other way round is 360° − 105° = 255°.

Answer: 105° (the smaller angle).

How it works

How do lessons work if you live nearby?

It starts with a short conversation with Muhammad, then a one-off assessment lesson so he can see where your child actually is, then a regular weekly lesson — in person locally in Islington or online, whichever suits your family.

01

Enquire

Tell Muhammad what your child is finding hardest. He takes this conversation himself, and it costs nothing.

02

Assessment lesson

A single lesson to establish the real starting point, in person locally in Islington or online — whichever works best for your family.

03

Weekly lesson

A regular one-to-one or two-to-one lesson, in person or online, or a pay-what-you-can online group lesson, at the same day and time each week.

Before you go

Tell Muhammad where you’re stuck.

“I take the first call myself, and it costs nothing.

Tell me what you are finding hardest, and I will tell you honestly whether I can help — and what the first few lessons would look like.”
