My son had the privilege of being tutored by Joe from the summer holidays, through year 11, up until his GCSE exams (now) for English language and literature. Joe reached out to me in response to my request for a teacher who could meet my son's needs (as he has special educational needs) and particularly picked up on the fact that my son needed a compassionate teacher. He definitely embodied compassion for my son for the duration of his tuition. He quickly established a trusted relationship with my son and gave him all the support he needed. He was adaptive and flexible according to how my son presented on the day. He offered my son breaks when required and generally maintained a low demand environment so my son's anxiety reduced and he was able to learn. Joe truly cared about my son's learning. My son had previously missed out on many years of learning due to his needs and anxiety and before meeting Joe, my son was failing both language and literature exams. Joe delivered a bespoke method of teaching, completely different to school. He employed techniques that were exactly in line with my son's needs, such as multi sensory techniques, breaking down objectives into small steps etc and made the lessons really engaging and accessible. Each lesson was diligently planned and this was very evident in the teaching. It was the first time my son began to understand English language written techniques and particularly the texts for the English Literature exam. However, the most valuable thing Joe helped my son achieve was regaining his confidence and hope that he could pass these exams. In my son's mocks, he was at borderline pass marks for Literature and already at a strong pass for Language. I truly feel these lessons have been a turning point for my son's English GCSEs. I am grateful that my son had the honour of being taught by such a highly qualified, knowledgeable, experienced and professional tutor. Joe was always reliable and if lesson timings needed to be changed (only a few times in the year), Joe communicated well and was very accommodating. I would highly recommend Joe for tuition as I feel other students would experience the same success in their educational journey with him as my son has benefitted from.

Rana is very helpful. He tutored me for around 6 weeks to prepare me for my further maths exam and was a prepared and catering tutor. I recently finished my exams and am very happy with how they went, I believe this has a lot to do with Rana. Highly recommend.

My son has Autism an can have focus problems. Jimmy has helped him in Business Studies and IT Jimmy is really engaging and has materially helped my son. I am crossing fingers for the GCSE results. Biggest think is that my son loves his lessons.

Ian helped my daughter with Higher Maths and I can’t recommend him highly enough. He was extremely helpful, patient and skilled. He boosted her confidence and knowledge tremendously.

Amazing teacher, makes lessons productive and enjoyable! very flexible with timings and targets each area of the GCSE course!

Ian has been fantastic tutoring my daughter for the past few months. He has listened really carefully to what she needed to work on to improve and carefully planned sessions to work on these. Most importantly he has helped her with how to approach the exams without panicking. I would highly recommend Ian,

I have been learning Italian with Gabriele for a few months now. He is a wonderful tutor; friendly, patient and very clear in explaining everything to me. I would highly recommend Gabriele and am looking forward to the rest of my studies with him.

Mel has been fantastic working with my daughter. She really listened at the beginning to what we wanted her to focus on. Mel quickly made my daughter feel at ease in the lessons and they struck up a good rapport. Mel was great at helping support with the school work but also sharing her experience and expertise which gave a different perspective. Before each exam she gave my daughter much needed confidence and self belief. I would really recommend Mel to anyone.
