Welcome to Capable Minds Mathematics

Hi there! I’m Val. At Capable Minds Mathematics, we specialise in making maths accessible and enjoyable for students of all ages and abilities. Whether your child needs help with algebra, is preparing for exams, or has unique learning needs, we provide tailored support that gets results. Our goal is to make maths challenges easy to understand, creating a positive learning experience every step of the way.

Experts in Dyscalculia, Dyslexia, and Dyspraxia

With over 10 years of experience, I have worked closely with the Hampstead Dyslexia Clinic and supported families with children who have special educational needs (SEN).

Our team brings a depth of expertise to help students with learning differences, using proven strategies to make maths accessible and boost confidence. I have trained a dedicated team to respond to a growing demand, ensuring more students receive the specialised support they need to succeed.

Maths can be a very challenging subject. We understand that traditional methods often make it feel abstract and hard to grasp. That’s why we use visuals and real-life scenarios to make maths relatable and easier to understand. From young learners to A-level students, we prepare each student for the next academic step. Our tailored approach doesn’t just get results—it builds confidence and helps students enjoy learning. Parents and students alike are thrilled with the outcomes!

No matter where you are, we make learning convenient. If you’re based in London, we can come to your home for in-person sessions. However we also offer engaging online lessons through Zoom, in English, French, or Italian, so your child can learn wherever and however they’re most comfortable. We understand that many parents are concerned about online learning after the challenges of COVID-19, but our virtual lessons are different. We’re specifically prepared to make online sessions as effective as in-person teaching—sometimes even more so. By sharing documents, using interactive tools, and tailoring the experience, we ensure there’s very little difference. We’re experts at creating an online environment that gets results.

How it all started

My journey with maths began very young, when my mom gave me my first puzzle. In high school, I discovered my passion for teaching while helping my friends do well in maths. With a Bachelor’s degree, a Master’s in Mathematics, and a PGCE specialising in supporting children with special needs, I bring a wealth of knowledge to each lesson, fully understanding that every student is unique and that the approach must always be tailored with care and kindness.

Over the years, I’ve assembled a team of talented educators who share my dedication to making maths accessible and enjoyable for every student. Emotional intelligence & empathy are at the core of our approach, ensuring that each child feels supported, understood, and motivated to succeed. Together, we are here to show students that, with the right approach, anyone can excel in maths.

Val has been working with my son since the summer term of Year 4. When he started with Valentin, my son was really struggling with maths, particularly consolidating concepts and tackling word problems. He is now in Year 6 and the improvement has been incredible! He achieved a bronze medal in the Primary Maths Challenge and most importantly, has gone into the ISEB pre-tests and 11+ assessments with a confidence in his maths ability that he didn’t have before. Valentin brings heaps of personality to the lessons, making maths fun for kids. He is patient and flexible, accommodating extra lessons or date changes before exams. We are very grateful to Valentin for his help and wouldn’t hesitate in recommending him to other families.

Val was highly recommended by the Headmaster of our son’s prep school four years ago. Our son continues to work with him to polish his skills and increase his speed. Valentin is a life enhancing and rigorous tutor with a superb mind and unrivalled sense of joy. We cannot recommend him highly enough.
