Harry B
Passionate Special Educational Needs tutor
Hi! I'm Harry, a PhD student at the University of Manchester and a Natural Sciences graduate from Lancaster University. I specialised in Chemistry and Biology and recently graduated with a high first-class degree, top of my year. To succeed in my degree I needed a strong foundation in Chemistry, Biology and Maths — and studying these subjects in depth has given me a clear understanding. Moreover, my degree has helped me “learn how to learn” and has made me a far more effective teacher. I've learned how much I enjoy working with younger students and helping them achieve the best results possible in th...

Laura T
Laura conducted the lesson in a way that was suitable to my needs. She broke down the reading material so that I could read it paragraph by paragraph. She also backed it up by devising questions about the text to aid my comprehension. Towards the end of the lesson she reviewed how much I had learnt from what I read so far. I really like her style of teaching.

John M
I would like to share my positive experience with John's English lessons. My daughter thoroughly enjoys every session and looks forward to each one with great enthusiasm. John’s empathetic, professional, and friendly approach makes him stand out, and he creates a supportive and positive learning environment that truly benefits my daughter.
My daughter has special needs, including autism and attention challenges, but with John's help, she has been able to stay engaged and focused throughout the full hour of each lesson. In just a few lessons, she has made really good progress, and I am extremely grateful for John's patience, dedication, and encouragement.
His constant praise and positive reinforcement have been invaluable in boosting my daughter’s confidence and motivation. We are very thankful for the positive impact John has had on her learning journey.
Highly recommended!
