Callum has been working with our son now for a couple of weeks to help identify gaps and support him with his GCSE maths. Our son is already growing in confidence and is benefiting hugely from Callum’s support with going over his class work. Callum is very knowledgeable and has quickly identified areas Chester needs to work on.

Richard V
Richard has helped my daughter a great deal with confidence and 1:1 tutorials going at A Level. What I liked as a parent was that he surfaced gaps in knowledge and where the school had not covered certain aspects, so my daughter was able to laser in on these. He also offered additional advice and notes so we had a good working relationship, suggesting questions. Often my daughter would highlight troublesome questions in advance then they would work through them. Richard has been responsive to messages and questions and proactive when necessary. He was a bit of a random pick but weare please we did and would recommend to others!
