Find a tutor Nigel N
I really enjoyed my lessons with Nigel, he is very patient and makes difficult concepts easy to understand. He would often recap topics I found particularly hard and would also produce fabulous summary notes, practice questions and model answers for exam papers. With Nigel I moved from a C/D to a B, and definitely would not have been able to do it without him. Overall, Nigel is a great teacher and a really friendly person. I highly recommend him.
