This is about more than the final exam. It's developing a way of thinking that's invaluable for university applications for creative or engineering courses, and giving them belief in their ideas.

Samuel J
Creative Design and Technology Teacher
I believe tutoring should be more than just “extra lessons.” Too often, students sit through sessions that feel no different from school — repetitive, exam-heavy, and disconnected from real understanding. My approach is different. I make learning relaxed, relevant, and engaging, so that instead of dreading another lesson, you actually enjoy it — and make real progress without even realising how much you’ve learned.With over five years of teaching experience, a Bachelor of Education with Honours in Technology and Design, and work as a CCEA examiner, I know exactly what exam boards expect and how t...

Catherine has been a brilliant tutor. I did not feel confident with the theory needed for DT A-level, but with Catherine's support I gained the grades to get into the uni of my choice. Thank you for all you did for me.

Sohail S
Sohail was extremely helpful throughout both my coursework and theory preparation. He provided excellent support, clear guidance and useful resources that really helped me improve my work and feel more confident. During school, most of my DT lessons were focused on completing coursework on time, so I did not have as much time to build my theory knowledge. Because of this, I was not feeling very confident with the theory side of the course at first. However, Sohail changed that for me through his support, patience and clear explanations. He helped me strengthen my understanding of the exam structure and content, allowing me to feel much more prepared for exam style questions. Overall, Sohail was very supportive, reliable and encouraging, and I would definitely recommend him to anyone needing help with coursework or exam prep!!

Tom S
Tom is an excellent tutor who has helped my son appear for his AS level exam in “Design and Technology”. Tom was methodical and thorough in approach and had very specific inputs, strategy and guidance for the specific curriculum/ paper. He was able to bring in confidence and excitement in the subject in a matter of a couple of sessions. I would strongly recommend Tom as a tutor.

Daniel was a huge help for me and my Product Design portfolio. During the session he made me explain each part of my project and then sent detailed feedback and notes after the lesson. I particularly liked how he showed what exemplar portfolios looked like so that I understood the requirements needed. Overall very friendly and helpful, definitely recommend!!
