Michael R
Experienced and effective Science Tutor
I am an experienced tutor and have been working in Somerset for the last fifteen years. In the past I have tutored students who cannot access full-time education for different reasons (health, mobility, faith and behavioural, for example) and always try to tailor my tuition to the individual's needs.I have worked as an examiner for both A level (chemistry), GCSE (sciences) and SATS (maths) so this means I am able not only to tutor the subject but also improve examination technique. Mathematics and all three sciences can be covered at GCSE in any combination and I have gained a sound working knowledge...

Hasan S
Hasan has been a great help to my son’s GCSE preparation in science and we have seen the improvement in grades over a short period of time. When we first met, Hasan clearly set out how he planned lessons which was incredibly helpful and thought-out. He has also been very flexible in terms of focusing on areas where my son has asked for support (across the 3 sciences). Extremely happy overall and we both highly recommend Hasan.
