Building Confidence and Deep Understanding, Step-by-Step
When a child truly understands a subject, the change is remarkable. Imagine them tackling complex algebra without frustration, or confidently approaching the challenging sections of the 11+ exam. This isn't just about grades; it's about seeing them walk into the Torquay Boys' or Girls' Grammar School entrance exam, or later, their A-Levels, with genuine belief. That newfound clarity and self-assurance can open doors to their chosen paths, whether that's a top university like Exeter or Plymouth, or a fulfilling career.

Frankie N
I was looking for a tutor to help me focus on a specific revision skill for my French A-level mock, namely summary writing. Frankie mentioned that students did not ordinarily ask to practise summaries but he was very well prepared with materials tailored to my needs. He guided me through the process step by step and provided examples across a wide range of topics, which helped build my confidence and improve my technique. We also spent one session focusing on French tenses, which was a useful refresher.
Frankie was flexible in accommodating my schedule (I only had 5 sessions squeezed in the run-up to my mock exam). He was always prepared, knowledgeable and happy to tailor the sessions to suit my needs. Ideal for anyone looking for focused, effective support with French A-level revision.

Matthew B
My son was really struggling and behind in English (dyslexia and ADHD also). Working with Matthew B really gave his confidence a boost and made him feel like he finally understood how to approach questions and how paragraphs worked and it made a huge improvement on his work and most recent mock papers. Thank you so much for making him feel like he could do it after years of giving up on himself
