Had my first session with Peter on A-Level Maths mechanics and I'm genuinely shocked by how much I understood. He broke down every complex topic so clearly and in detail after just one lesson, I already feel so much more confident in A-Level mechanics

Alessandra P
I am very grateful for having that tutor over last 1.5 years. Alessandra was helping me with IB. She significantly helped me with Computer science, and hevaily influenced my ability to do my Compuer Science HL Internal Assessment, I wouldn't be able to complete it as good as I did without her supporting my understanding of concepts and computer-related terminology. Later she contributed to my understanding with CS concepts and contents, which improved my grades from 4 to almost 6, which was a valuable imporment for my grades. Alessandra is great in explaining concepts,helping to understand how to trace algorithms or write basic algorithms for ADTs, OOP and all relevant CS coding knowledge for IB syllabus. She is also very empathetic, attentitive to student's needs, responsive as a tutor and patient, which were crucial characteristics for me to stick with her as my tutor throughout the summer before DP2 and throughout DP2 as well. Alessandra wasn't just an awesome tutor from professional perspective, but she also was a tutor who could listen and relate to the student, lessons were extremely comfortable and were encouraging to coming back. Many, many Thanks to Alessandra for supporting me on IB diploma programme and especially before and during exam period!

We’re absolutely delighted with our tutor. Thank you.
