Mechanical engineer and experienced tutor
With over five years of experience as tutor, I have guided 50+ students from Europe, Asia, and the Americas to achieve consistent results.
As an mechanical engineering graduate, I possess strong skills in mathematics and would like to believe I make the subject a lot more bearable. (based on what my past students' feedback)
As someone who only started enjoying mathematics accidentally at 16, I understand what often goes wrong in mathematical education. This subject is often presented as impenetrable largely intimidating students from even wanting to try. I take a conscious approach that presents...

Rozeena J
Rozeena has been tutoring my Year 10 daughter, and she really enjoys every lesson and has made so much progress. As a teacher herself, Rozeena quickly identified the areas where my daughter needed help and tailored the lessons accordingly.
She especially helped my daughter massively with mastering her Year 10 GCSE speech writing. My daughter says Rozeena’s support and guidance have made a huge difference to her confidence and skills. Thanks again Rozeena!

Dan R
An incredible A-level Sociology tutor! He understands the exam and assessment objectives inside out. Dan helped me complete Crime and Deviance early alongside revising other modules like Beliefs in Society. Since working with him, I've seen drastic improvements in my 30-markers and my "Method in Context" performance.
His lessons are very casual and relaxed, which made learning much easier - I always looked forward to the next session. I feel very confident in my ability as a Sociology student now, and it's all thanks to him.
10/10 – would recommend to anyone looking for a capable, caring, and proven sociology tutor.

Fiona H
Fiona has been an amazing tutor for my 11-year-old. She comes to every session with clear lesson plans, while still adjusting the lessons to suit my child’s needs and keeping them fun and confidence-building.
I’ve already seen a real improvement in my child’s handwriting, and their confidence has grown so much too. Fiona is always encouraging and full of praise, which really helps motivate and support learning.
She also gives fantastic feedback after each session, along with helpful things to work on during the week. I would highly recommend Fiona to anyone looking for a supportive, professional, and engaging tutor.

Sally has been my Japanese tutor for about a year (maybe a bit longer) she is friendly and personable. In addition Sally has always taken into account my learning style and goals in relation to how the lessons. I am learning both written and spoken Japanese and believe most of my progress has been due to her being my tutor. I would highly recommend working with Sally.

Jess R
Jess has been an amazing support for my daughter during a month of last-minute prep before her exams. My daughter had spent two years at college not particularly engaged in her psychology course, but from her first session with Jess, she came away finding the subject genuinely interesting. Jess’s incredible enthusiasm completely rubbed off on her and gave her a boost of support at a very important time. A truly fantastic and engaging tutor.
