Ed Carson
The Person Behind It All
I'm Ed. I hold a First-Class degree in Mathematics from the University of Exeter, and I spent a decade embedded inside two of England's most prestigious independent boarding schools - Blundell's and Cranleigh. At Cranleigh I wasn't just a maths teacher - I was Assistant Housemaster, with pastoral responsibility for the students in my care.
I know these schools from the inside. I know what they expect of their students, how they teach, and where students most commonly struggle. That insider knowledge is what makes Ed's Maths different from any tutoring agency.
I've since pursued professional hockey at the highest level - winning four Premier League titles - while raising three young children. Both keep me sharp, grounded, and deeply invested in helping young people perform at their best.
Why Families Choose Us
Every student - at every level - starts with an independent diagnostic assessment. We build the programme from what we actually find, not what anyone assumes.
Ed has taught in UK independent schools. He knows the culture, the standards, and exactly what examiners reward.
Every programme is built specifically for your child - their level, exam board, gaps, and timeline. No off-the-shelf lesson plans, ever.
Places are limited because Ed teaches every session personally. He will never take on more students than he can teach to the standard he sets himself.
In Their Own Words
"A-Level maths is a massive step up, but Ed's deep understanding of the syllabus made it manageable. His help with mechanics and calculus was a game-changer for my grades."
"As a parent, I've been so impressed by how Ed transformed my child's attitude toward maths. The support for the St John's curriculum was spot on."
"Ed is an incredible tutor for A-Level. He has a knack for explaining the most abstract concepts in a way that actually sticks. I couldn't have done it without him."
The Team
Every tutor at Ed's Maths has taught in a UK independent school and been personally selected by Ed. When your child joins, Ed matches them with the tutor best suited to their level, exam board, and learning style - not whoever happens to be available.
For the A-Level Bespoke Programme, Ed delivers every session personally.
Find the Right TutorEvery programme is built personally by Ed around your child's level, exam board, and learning style. Not a generic plan — something built from real diagnostic findings.
Ed has taught at Cranleigh School and Blundell's School — two of England's leading independent boarding schools. He understands the culture, the standards, and the pace your child is working to.
Ed holds a current enhanced DBS certificate. Your child's safety is never treated as a formality.
Warmth, patience, and rigour — the three qualities Ed's Maths was built on. Every session, every student, every week.
"Every student I take on gets me — not a substitute, not a junior tutor. That's the only way I'm willing to do this."
