Find an expert tutor in Thatcham

Over the past year, I have had the privilege of being tutored by Owen. He has an extraordinary gift for teaching and has introduced me to topics in physics that I not only look forward to exploring further at university, but that have also given me a stronger foundation of understanding. His passion for physics is prominent and it is complemented by his expertise in maths and further maths, which has imparted extremely insightful lessons. He is truly a role model for all aspiring physicists.

Liam has been my tutor for almost 3 years now and I can say that I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. He has taught me for both GCSE maths and GCSE Further maths in which I achieved 9s in both subjects. He has also taught me A-level maths over the last couple of years, and although I don’t yet have my results, he was a great help nonetheless. What I liked the most about his teaching was that he had a methodical approach to most things but also was willing to explore other avenues in which to complete a problem to accommodate to ways in which I would prefer more. He is also great at the explaining most things which a lot of school teachers struggle to get across properly. I would definitely recommend him as a great tutor for most that are doing their GCSEs or A-levels.

Really great tutor very patient and an enjoyable lesson

Becky was absolutely brilliant for my daughter, working with her to support her through the final few months of her Maths A Level. Becky is a superb teacher and personalised every lesson. I cannot recommend her highly enough.

Very good teacher and easy to understand helps you learn very quickly

A phenomenal tutor, she did wonders for me academically and guided me emotionally with preparation for my tests. Lorraine knew and was very good on keeping the speculation and mark scheme fresh in my mind for my German A level. She was great at and on top of tackling each bullet point of how to get a great grade, and she came up with methods and ideas to prep me which I would have never thought of. Lorraine prepped me with my timing as well, and got me to have the subject material fresh in my mind, and practice I love how Lorraine always asks for three takeaways from the lesson at the end of each lesson. This causes you think about what you did learn and how you have progressed on the tutor journey, and keeps you on track and also keeps you and Lorraine on the same page of where your development stage is. On the first meeting she clearly stated how she wanted our session to be everything and to fulfill everything that I wanted out of the lesson. Lorraine always met this standard and guided me when I didn't know exactly what I needed help on, she went above this standard most times and our sessions continued to be spectacular. She is really good at getting to know the student, what their personality and character is and what their goals are like as well as how they function, or how their mind functions. Lorraine is excellent at matching her teaching to the student and at appealling to the academic needs of the individual as best as she can through knowing them and how their mind thinks. When she first went on call with me, I immediately fellt the human connection with her, that she was there, teaching and guiding me and that we will get things done. Her lessons are automatically locked in, something that is usually hard to achieve in online meetings, but comes as second nature to Lorraine and her lessons with me. This intensity (met with compassion) is something I hadn't experienced ever before on a zoom call. Lorraine's holistic approach to teaching includes that she always gave great advice for mindset and approaching the test, which really makes her be the extra mile compared to other tutors. You really feel like you know the test and what is needed. She is very assertive and a great authority figure, and is SO compassionate - she is everything you would want and need in a tutor, and serves to even more than what you think you need. Lorraine helped me a tremendous amount and I will always remember her as an AMAZING tutor. She finds a way to fit with the students so well, and what truly sets her out from the rest of tutors is that she tailors a unique approach to the individual student to meet their needs. Before almost every lesson, I would be anxious and not know what the plan was of the lesson, if I needed to plan something, and I didn't know the priority of which things I needed to work on. My lessons with Lorraine always always ended in a productive way that I did not even see coming, and every lesson surprised me on how productive it was and what I needed help with, when I was formerly not sure about what the plan is. Lessons with Lorraine are always productive, she knows the students and their capability so well, and she guides them in the best direction for the test. She truly just cares about the student and is highly efficient at the same time, she really works wonders. Lorraine guides the student to a really healthy relationship and approach to the test, alongside curating a specific method and teaching to the individual, in making sure to be efficient and fulfill all the criterion for an A grade.

We just wanted to say a big thank you for all the support and revision you’ve done with my son for the Chemistry A-level exam. We’re truly grateful — he mentioned how much it helped him during the exam and how it boosted his confidence. He found your sessions really effective and would definitely recommend you to others. Thanks again for your time! JG

Marguerite provided excellent support in my daughter's A-Level English Literature preparation, particularly in structuring exam responses and how to approach the unseen texts. I would highly recommend Marguerite.
