Ramsey E
First-class Master's grad. Award-nominated tutor. 6 yrs exp.
I'm a graduate of the University of Edinburgh, where I earned a Master of Informatics, First Class. For my dissertation, I adapted a neural model of the insect brain to build a dung beetle biorobot -- yes, you read that right! I even received a grant to pit my creation against real dung beetles in South Africa. The robot rolled away victorious, but rest assured, no beetles were harmed in the making of this story.My teaching skills were first sharpened in the battle trenches of the university classroom, where I was trained and employed to tutor 1st- and 2nd-year informatics courses: in total, 11...

Amie M
I had my first session with Amie today and she was exceptionally helpful. I do both law and criminology a level and while my session was for criminology, I am now also considering law a level sessions. Amie is very fast at responding and really helped me to understand concepts in depth.

Peter J
My son has been having regular weekly A-level maths lessons with Peter for a couple of months now and he's absolutely brilliant. My son says he's the best tutor he's had - he's super positive and encouraging, explains things really clearly and just makes things make sense that my son had found tricky in his college maths classes. Peter is always really helpful if we need to change the day or time of a session and responds to messages promptly. My son is already feeling much more confident about his maths exams and looks forwards to his sessions with Peter. Would definitely recommend!

Richard H
My son has just started weekly A-level geography sessions with Richard. So far he's been absolutely brilliant! Richard was super helpful and flexible with days and times and the initial 15 minute chat was great as it allowed him and my son to discuss strengths and weaknesses and make a plan together. My son found the first lesson really valuable. Richard had prepared a session that was tailored perfectly and we received prompt feedback after the lesson. My son is looking forward to his regular lessons with Richard and I'm sure he will gain much more confidence and exam technique as a result of Richard's tutoring. Would definitely recommend!
