Steven B
We've only had a few sessions so far, but we've been really pleased. My kids maths teacher has noticed a marked uplift in ability and engagement which I put down to an increasing understanding of the fundamentals, that he wouldn't have otherwise. Steven is always quick to respond, and flexible. My kid reports Steven is cheerful and patient. Steven was clear from the first session on the likely challenges and focus areas. Would recommend;

Joseph I
Joseph has made a powerful impact on my son’s confidence and performance in GCSE Maths. His sessions are focused, precise, and entirely exam-driven. He works directly with past papers, marking schemes, and timing strategies, ensuring that every minute is purposeful and aligned with exam success.
What truly sets Joseph apart is his ability to make complex exam expectations feel clear and manageable. My son leaves each session energised, confident, and believing in his ability. That shift in mindset has been just as important as the technical improvement.
Joseph is calm, direct, and exceptionally effective at breaking things down into clear steps. He creates an environment where my son feels understood and capable, which has translated into stronger performance under pressure.
We are incredibly grateful for his support during this critical GCSE period and would highly recommend him to any student who needs structured, high-level exam preparation delivered with clarity and professionalism.

Adrian P
We are incredibly grateful for Adrian’s support. From the very first session, he made a significant difference. My son came out saying, “So I’m not stupid,” which shows how powerful that first experience was. Adrian helped him understand in one session what he had struggled to grasp over the previous six months at school.
Since starting with Adrian, my son has moved from a grade 1 to a grade 4 in Maths within three months, with just one and a half hours of tutoring per week. That progress speaks for itself.
Adrian is structured, clear, and focused. He explains concepts in a way that builds both understanding and confidence. My son feels capable in his sessions and leaves feeling empowered rather than overwhelmed.
We are continuing with Adrian and would highly recommend him to anyone looking for effective, exam-focused maths support delivered with professionalism and consistency.
