Adam S
In the space of less than a year, Adam took me from being threatened to be kicked off my course and achieving a grade E in biology to achieving a grade A on results day. Adam has extensive knowledge on the subject within and beyond the specification, in great detail to the point where there was not single question he could not answer. Pair this with his true passion for teaching and his charismatic personality, Adam is the best tutor i have ever had. He had a strong interest in my studies and would frequently bring a smile to my face. At times where i felt unmotivated, his charisma and unmatched teaching style allowed him to break down very complicated concepts into easy, digestible parts. On occasion i thought he was capable of making a 3 year old understand complex biological processes. Adam also taught me how to understand and predict mark schemes, which allowed me to feel confident while sitting my exams. Overall i would highly recommend Adam as a tutor. There is so much more i wish i could say, Adam is an excellent tutor and coach.
