Experienced online and distance learning tutor
I am an experienced tutor and have been working in Somerset for the last fifteen years.

Paul H
Paul is such an amazing and experienced tutor, he's immensely helpful and resourceful in supporting my daughter through her A-Level journey. His broad knowledge in the syllabus is evident through the way he prepares the class in advance. Not only does he ensure that my daughter is best equipped with the knowledge she needs but also consolidates her confidence with exam techniques. My daughter has seen consistent improvement in her writing and grades ever since she started learning from Paul,I highly recommend him as a tutor.

Bahar O
We met Bahar back before Covid when our daughter was in year 9 and told us she struggles with physics and chemistry. Thanks to Bahar’s clear and adaptable explanations our daughter fell in love with chemistry and ended up choosing it as an A-level subject. Bahar continued tutoring her for the duration of her A-levels and she ended up getting into University College London (UCL), where she studied chemistry with management. After graduating she found a job she loves.
Now Bahar teaches our son who is in secondary school. He loves having lessons with Bahar and has chosen tripple science for his GCSEs. I’ve been recommending Bahar to friends whose children needed help with science and will continue recommending her. For us, she played a big role in our daughter’s future and now in our son's. I am forever grateful to her.

Peter H
Excellent Tutor:
My son had an absolutely brilliant lesson with Peter, really pleased. My son is currently revising for his French GCSE speaking exam.
Peter knew exactly what the Edexcel exam entailed, covered a mock, gave him lots of tips. I wasn't expecting feedback, but he very kindly gave me a summary of my son's progress and where to focus. He also very kindly corrected some answers my son had written.
Highly recommend Peter as a tutor, he's brilliant.
