Find a tutor 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.

Jon P
Jon has been an absolutely fantastic tutor. Every lesson we’d go through past paper questions but his ability to spot weaknesses quickly and do thorough explanations of the harder topics is brilliant.
Physics is not an easy subject at A level but Jon makes the lessons more accessible. He genuinely takes an interest in you and is a positive influence for the future. This is a tutor you can truly rely on for anything and it’s been a pleasure having him.

She is extremely patient and answers any questions willingly and with clarity and helps in revision by doing exam questions, which actively improves exam technique and understanding.
