Testimonials
Ilse is a brilliant teacher. She has a gift at engaging in a fun and accessible way. She reads pupil's strengths, weaknesses and even moods and is able to translate concepts into words and approaches he can handle in the moment
My two sons were predicted poor GCSE maths results, with scores of 2 to 4 in their mocks. One of them has subsequently been diagnosed with ADHD and the other has dyspraxia. Ilse was recommended to me by another maths tutor as being a great teacher, particularly with teens, and as a result of her teaching they both achieved 6’s at GCSE in 2021 and 2023 respectively. I also referred a colleague's son to Ilse who was also predicted a poor grade and he achieved a 7 for GCSE maths in August 2025. Ilse is an excellent tutor and as a family we are hugely grateful for her work with the boys, developing a rapport, realising their potential and helping them gain confidence in maths. We are very happy to recommend Ilse. Thank you.
Ilse successfully coached my daughter through her GCSE Maths. She was incredibly patient and took the time to understand and support my daughter’s anxieties and individual needs. Her strong grasp of the curriculum was both evident and reassuring. We’re very grateful—thank you, Ilse!
Ilse has a deep, intuitive understanding of children, especially neurodivergent children, and it’s clear she not only feels what they need, she knows what she’s doing. Her approach isn’t one-size-fits-all; it’s responsive, grounded, and full of care. She's not just about helping kids with maths, it’s about helping them feel seen, capable, and understood. Highly recommend for any parent looking for meaningful support, especially if your child thinks or learns differently.
Extremely helpful. Lessons are handled with care and teaching methods are tailored to your needs. Would recommend to anyone in search of a great Mathematics tutor. An utterly pleasant experience.

Ilse Roets from SquareRoets Maths is an outstanding mathematics teacher with a remarkable ability to explain complex concepts clearly. She builds strong, trusting relationships with her students, creating a positive and engaging learning environment.
Ilse was a fantastic help to our children. She was so patient and took all the time that was needed to help them both. They grew in confidence and both felt much happier going into their exams.
Ilse was fantastic with both of my children who are dyslexic. She worked out ways for them to learn according to their needs and was so patient and understanding. She’s a great maths teacher especially for kids who have additional needs.
Having 3 children who have gone through Uni I know how talented youngsters can struggle to get the grades they deserve. This book is a huge help for such children
Hands down the best tutor my daughter has had. Over the years we've tried many maths tutors and finally met Ilse who totally understood her and pitched her teaching just right for her. She used visual tools and multi layered techniques to really get information into her long term memory. Before starting with Ilse, passing her gcse felt like a battle but with both their hard work she achieved it. No resits for her! Highly highly recommend.
This lady is amazing. Absolutely brilliant maths tutor/ teacher- she is patient, kind, thorough and able to teach all abilities and personalities. Liked very much by both my different children. Highly recommended!
She is truly the best math teacher I have ever had. From the very first day of class, her passion for mathematics was evident, and it inspired me to engage with the subject in a way I never thought possible. She taught me so much, from fundamental concepts to more complex theories, and I am genuinely grateful for her guidance. Her patience and understanding created a supportive learning environment where I felt comfortable asking questions and making mistakes. Every single thing I know about math, from algebra to calculus, I owe to her exceptional teaching.
We have been so pleased with the support Ilse Roets has provided as a maths tutor for our senior school student. Ilse has a calm and clear approach that really helps build understanding and confidence, especially in the lead-up to exams. Her sessions are always well-structured and tailored to the child’s needs, covering both general maths support and targeted exam preparation. We’ve noticed a definite improvement not only in academic performance but also in his general attitude towards maths. Ilse’s encouragement and clear explanations have made a real difference, and I'd highly recommend her to any family looking for a reliable, friendly and caring tutor.
Ilse was a fabulous maths tutor for my son. She created great rapport with him and helped him immensely through her fantastic teaching skills and patience. Highly recommend!
