Great teacher. Precise, has good pacing, gives good advice and is kind when you get something wrong. Does not mind explaining concepts again and again until you understand it fully.

William C
Will has been a great choice for my son who began lessons in September 2025. The change in his confidence, in all subjects, is noticeable and very satisfying to see. Will explains and describes concepts with clarity, so important for the 11+ which are far from easy. I feel that Will understands how to handle my son, and does so exceptionally well, which means that every hour spent together is valuable teaching time with a lot of ground is covered. We are very happy to have him.

Axel K
When my daughter faced some difficulties during her A level history course, we decided that she needs some help. I found Alex on one of the online tutoring platforms. We took a couple of lessons and my daughter’s tests results improved so much. But of the challenges was that we are from different language backgrounds. I didn’t believe it was possible to find someone who can explain the subject for a kid not speaking English language. Surprisingly it all worked perfectly! Alex is extremely helpful and supportive tutor. He always sends additional materials to study and the lesson obviously goes far beyond 1 hour online on the platform. I definitely can recommend Alex as a tutor with high attitude to a subject, reliable person and love to what he is doing!!!

Lily is a kind, patient, and thoughtful teacher. She understands how to support my autistic child and always gives them the time they need to think and respond without pressure.
Her lessons are engaging and well structured, and she also helps children understand feelings, kindness, and how to treat others with respect. My child genuinely enjoys learning with Lily and always looks forward to their lessons. We really appreciate the care and understanding Lily brings to her teaching.

My son has had a couple of lessons with Sarah and so far we have found her lessons very beneficial. Her knowledge base is strong and she is able to pace the lesson depending upon the knowledge of the pupil in the subject/topic. She seems well-versed in preparation for GCSE subjects. My son is doing physics and chemistry with her. We have got a number of other sessions planned with her and I will share further review after them.
