Puzzled by percentages?
Confused by cube roots?
Bewildered by bearings?
Welcome to SumSupport.co.uk.
Sum Support – setting your child on the fast track to 11+ maths success.
What I offer
I offer one-hour maths lessons for your child, for booster classes or 11+ assistance. These lessons will be tailored to your child’s requirements and their personal skill level. I offer group classes or one-to-one tuition.
The current course on offer is the Summer Term course, taking place once a week Monday-Sunday.

About me
My name is George Guest and I am the tutor for Sum Support. I am currently taking a gap year before I go on to university.
I am very familiar with the 11+ syllabus, having taken both the Kent and Bexley tests myself in 2012, and having coached my younger brother (to a place at Beths Grammar School) when he did his 11+ in 2014. Since then I have been tutoring regularly, both for the 11+ and up to GCSE level.
I’m sure I will be able to help your child too!
In my GCSEs, I achieved a Level 9 Grade in Maths, and in my A-levels I achieved A*s in Maths and Further Maths.
Since starting at St Olave’s I have completed a Lower Project Qualification (“Did Mozart use mathematical ratios in his music”) in 2015, for which I was awarded an A* grade. In 2018, I completed a Higher Project (“How did the Reformation affect mathematics in the 16th and 17th centuries?”), for which I achieved an A* and full marks.
I have represented the school in national mathematical events, such as the UKMT Maths Olympiads (for which I was awarded gold certification), and in the Team Maths Challenge (where St Olave’s came third out of over 3000 schools in 2016).
In January 2017, I was invited to participate in the national final of the Bebras Computational Thinking Challenge, hosted by Oxford University.
Weekly Problem
Weekly Problem #37
Last week’s answer: Two sides are 4cm long and the other two are 5cm long. To work this out, you need to think of two numbers which add together to make 9 (half of 18) and multiply together to make 20. 4 and 5 are these numbers. This week’s problem: Pedro builds a function machine. …
Weekly Problem #36
Last week’s answer: 25cm. If 6 bricks are 10cm high, then 3 bricks are 5cm high. This means the tower will be 5 x 5 = 25 cm tall, as there are 5 lots of 3 bricks in 15 bricks. This week’s problem: The perimeter of a rectangle is 18cm and its area is 20cm^2. …
Weekly Problem #35
Last week’s answer: 9:12 am. This can be done in two ways – writing down the times at which each train will return to the station and finding the first time on both, or calculating the LCM of 4 and 6 (12) and then adding that to 9am. This week’s problem: Don is building a …
