Michael B
Friendly, enthusiastic Science Tutor
I absolutely love what I do, and channel that enthusiasm within each of my lessons. I believe a child can very easily see if a teacher is passionate about what they are teaching, which is why I believe only those who absolutely love their profession should teach. I want to provide the most engaging and challenging lesson for myself, because I hold very high standards for my quality of work, but more importantly, for the child. I want a child to leave each session safe in the knowledge that they have learnt something new that day.I like to approach each session differently, learning what interests...

Tilly B
Tilly tutored my 14 year old daughter Mia as preparation for her checkpoint exams. Tilly was very good at breaking down complex topics into easy to explain examples and Mia also found that she could bring the topics she needed some support and Tilly would flex her teaching style to cover these. All and all and excellent tutor. Thank you Tilly
