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...

- If your child is in secondary school or 6th form now and you have any doubt about their independent study skills please consider summer sessions.
- I hear all too often that the young people I am working with do not have the skills in order to attempt independent study....

Genevieve E
Genevieve has been an absolutely amazing tutor. She has a real gift for explaining things in a way that makes even the most difficult topics easy to understand. After every lesson, I left feeling much more confident and clear on the material. Each session was always thoughtfully planned, which made a huge difference in how much I was able to learn. Thanks to her support and guidance, I’ve improved so much in human biology. On top of that, she is incredibly kind and patient, she creates such a positive and encouraging learning environment. I truly can’t recommend her highly enough!

Eloise S
Eloise is a brilliant tutor. She is incredibly knowledgeable and her lessons are very engaging. She has helped me a lot with my content understanding and my essay skills by helping me draft essays and reviewing the paragraphs I have written. She is a very understanding teacher and adapts to your level of knowledge, I never feel out of my depth during her lessons. I have felt my confidence in history increase steadily as she has been my tutor and I now I am feeling a lot more confident and less overwhelmed about my A-Levels. I would absolutely recommend Eloise as a history tutor, especially if you struggle to take and in and remember the content, as she breaks it down and makes the learning a lot more manageable. She has also helped me a lot with the synthesis questions and has helped me understand how to write them in a more effective way.

Russell has been an excellent GCSE Maths tutor for my daughter. His explanations are clear and much easier for her to understand. He has really deepen her understanding of the subject.
Thanks to his support, she feels much better prepared for her upcoming exams. We are hopeful that she will achieve strong results. We are very pleased with his teaching and plan to continue lessons with him for A-level Maths next academic year.
Russell is not only a highly effective tutor but also very supportive. On one occasion, a lesson was affected by a poor internet connection, and he kindly refunded the fee without hesitation. That level of professionalism and integrity really stood out to us. We truly appreciate his dedication and would highly recommend him to others.
