Michael R
Experienced online and distance learning tutor

Nick B
Experienced tutor of geography and geology to 'A' Level.
I have spent over 30 years teaching in secondary schools in various parts of the UK (in both the state and independent sectors) teaching both geography and geology to university entrance level. At my previous school our geology department was awarded the best school in the U.K. by the 'Good Schools Guide' for its 'A' Level results! As an educator my approach initiates student-centred learning involving debate and discussion, avoiding being merely a dispassionate purveyor of facts. As a teacher, I prefer not lecture but encourage guided self-discovery with any student. My approach is more ‘the g...

Sofia S
Sofia has been an amazing tutor consistently supporting me in my current English studies. I am so grateful to have such detailed advice and constructive criticism as it has consolidated and deepened my textual understanding and essay structure. Lessons are always enjoyable,engaging, and informative, further instilling greater confidence in my work. As a result, I feel my skills have significantly improved and I am more confident in my work than ever before.

Fakhra is an outstanding tutor who shares her extensive knowledge and experience effectively. I am impressed by how well the lessons are structured and organised.

Amal A
100% recommed Amal!! She helped me to feel confident in topics I was unsure about before, especially logs. She even went out of her way to have a lesson with me the night before my Higher Maths exam which I achieved an A in! Her teaching method is so efficient yet fun. I had 2 hour lessons with her which felt like 30 minutes. She explained topics in ways that were easy to understand and gave lots of tips and tricks when solving problems. If you’re searching for a maths tutor, look no further!
