Alan W
Vastly experienced A level chemistry tutor
I have taught A level chemistry since 1988 and have experience of several examination boards (principally AQA and OCR but there is little variation in content between boards since 2015) both as a teacher and as an examiner. Until recently, I taught at a large 6th form college teaching A level chemistry only and led the department for ten years before becoming a senior manager. Chemistry can be a confusing subject due to the uniqueness of the language used and the impossibility of actually seeing the subject on a molecular level.However, it is a fundamentally logical subject and, hence, I like to...

David is definitely one of the best tutors I have ever had! I am a university student and reached out to him about two months ago, wanting to learn Latin from scratch for personal interest, with the goal of sitting the GCSE Latin exam in about six months. While most tutors I approached dismissed this as unrealistic, David took on the challenge without hesitation.
His lessons are truly exceptionally well delivered, with a level of precision that reflects thorough preparation and extensive teaching experience. Through our weekly lessons, we have been able to cover more than half of the language component of the GCSE within just 2 months! But more importantly, I am able to retain the material effectively because David consistently incorporates active recall into our lessons and offers really useful advice on how to memorise things by building logical connections. His explanations are clear and succinct, lessons are well structured, and his ability to adjust the pace to my progress has made the learning process both manageable and effective.
David is also incredibly patient and motivating. His teaching style gives me full confidence that he can work effectively with learners of all levels and backgrounds. I would highly recommend him as you Latin tutor!

Mr. Ngoran is an outstanding computer science tutor!
His ability to break down complex concepts into clear, manageable steps has made a huge difference in my daughter's understanding and confidence. He is patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and always prepared with practical examples that make learning engaging and enjoyable.
What I appreciate most is his dedication—he takes the time to ensure you truly understand the material and offers guidance that goes beyond the classroom. Whether it’s programming, algorithms, or exam prep, he explains everything with clarity and enthusiasm.
I highly recommend Mr. Ngoran to anyone looking to excel in computer science. An exceptional tutor and a true professional!

Heena is truly unique!
A brilliant tutor that truly teaches and connects with the child. Exactly what my son needed. She is understanding and supportive. Before seeing Heena he was in maths support for his year.
We have been working with her for 5 months. He recently completed his first term assessment paper and got 88 percent - he was so happy and couldn't wait to share with Heena. He honestly enjoys the sessions and its wonderful to see him grow in confidence in the subject.I recommend Heena highly!
