Samuel J
Expert Teacher
I believe tutoring should be more than just “extra lessons.” Too often, students sit through sessions that feel no different from school — repetitive, exam-heavy, and disconnected from real understanding. My approach is different. I make learning relaxed, relevant, and engaging, so that instead of dreading another lesson, you actually enjoy it — and make real progress without even realising how much you’ve learned.With over five years of teaching experience, a Bachelor of Education with Honours in Technology and Design, and work as a CCEA examiner, I know exactly what exam boards expect and how t...

We asked Seb to help my son in his English Language GCSE resit as he needed to get a higher grade for his university application. His current grade was a 5 and he needed a Grade 6. We have just had his results and he actually got a Grade 8 which is fantastic! Thanks Seb!

Ray has a very passionate and patient approach and is a super tutor.

Awo A
Awo is incredibly good. She has really helped my son Rudolph who really struggled with sociology. She made him understand it better after he failed his mock exams but I never lost hope in him. Having read Awo's reviews I waited for her after the Easter holidays after messaging her to please get back to me. When she did I knew she was the right person who could help my son from April ending till the A level exams started. We put our last efforts through by booking extra lessons and doing lots of revisions and assignments which really helped him. He eventually passed his sociology and looking forward to read Law in the university.
