He tutored me in IB Chemistry HL, and I went from a 5 to one point below a 7! He's been very helpful in helping me understand key concepts that I didn't entirely get in lessons, and helped me through tough practice questions. Thank you!

Ian is incredibly passionate about teaching, and he always puts in his absolute best effort to meet our needs, adapting his explanations to suit our learning style. His enthusiasm makes lessons engaging and motivating, and I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dedicated and supportive tutor. And with his help, my son got A* in AS further maths!

Izzy O
Izzy is an absolutely amazing singing teacher, I started having lessons as an inexperienced, I intermediate singer and withing the first two lessons I could already hear a difference in my singing. I have been having lessons once a week for about 7 months and already feel so much more confident and comfortable when I sing. Izzy is a very friendly person who can explain strange concepts very well! I have learnt so much in the time I've had with her and am a much better singer from it! I would definitely recommend her to someone who is either starting out singing or to someone who just wants some practice as she is very experienced, helpful and very talented herself.

Marc S
Marc has been an excellent tutor for our daughter and has really helped to build her confidence in physics and chemistry. He quickly built a positive rapport with her and by working together they were able to identify and focus on the topics where she needed the most help. He has an infectious enthusiasm for physics and chemistry and this in turn helped to change our daughter’s perception of these subjects as her knowledge and confidence grew. Marc tutored our daughter for very nearly 12 months, up to the point when she took her GCSE exams. He was always very flexible, fitting in extra lessons over holiday periods or moving timeslots where needed and where his timetable would allow.
