Joe H
Joe was by far the most academically impactful teacher I've ever had the pleasure of being taught by.
He is very outgoing and easy to get along with, but further than this you can tell he cares about the student.
He constantly checks in with anything one may be struggling with during the lesson but also leaves meaningful and constructive feedback which is easy to follow.
I'd definitely recommend Joe as a tutor as his expertise is unparalleled.

Miles F
Miles tutored my daughter for GCSE History and has been fantastic. He helped her feel very confident in the subject and gave her a broader understanding of the historical context, which really helped her see what history is all about rather than simply memorising facts. His lessons were very engaging and informative, and my daughter always found them very helpful.
