Michael R
Experienced online and distance learning 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...

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 C
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.

Deborah J
I have had Deborah as a tutor for the past 2 years and she has taken me from a low grade 6 to a comfortable grade 8, while consequently boosting my confidence as an English student. She is lively and allows teaching to be fun and enjoyable. I have gone from dreading to open an English assessment to being able to confidently walk out my past 3 English GCSE exams knowing I have given it my everything. I have learnt many notable skills as her student that I wish to take with me past Year 11. I couldn't recommend her enough! Thank you so much for these past years and I will miss our lessons.
