Luigi D
Luigi was extremely helpful in helping me prepare for my Italian A-level. He was very good at helping me identify my mistakes and helping me correct them. Not only did he help me gain confidence in my speaking and language skills but he also allowed me to explore a lot about the Italian culture which is extremely important. I 100% recommend his lessons!

Lucie M
In the 7 months my son has had lessons with Lucie, his handwriting ability and confidence in maths and have increased hugely. She quickly figured out the gaps in his knowledge and her sessions are tailored to engage, even after a long day at school. She is extremely patient and kind, and has built up a great rapport with my son. I would thoroughly recommend her as a tutor.

My son has been receiving extra lessons in preparation for his History GCSE exams coming up. He has absolutely loved every minute with Chris. He is a genuinely nice guy who has made learning enjoyable and memorable. My son is already asking if he can book Chris for any extra support that maybe needed for A’levels in the future!
