Alex is very thoughtful with his lessons and takes time to really understand the individual needs of the student. He's really helped to motivate and engage my son with his A level Physics and Maths. Highly recommended
Thank you for your kind comments. It's a pleasure tutoring him!
From Jenny
Absolutely superb tutor - many thanks Alex
Thank you!

I contacted Alex to request Physics tutoring support for my son throughout the summer break period - in preparation for school exams used for predicted A-level grades Alex was great right from the get go - being flexible and very approachable. My son was a little apprehensive - knowing that an unfamily person was would be offering tutor lessons. The apprehansion very quicky faded, though, as Alex's style made him feel very at ease and they delved straight into the topics.
There was quite some initial dialog with Alex in order for him to gain an understanding of where focus/support should be given. Cricially, he listend to the thoughts and concerns and offered an approach that aligned with the feedback prodvided by the school subject teachers. Ultimately, my son confidence grew significantly over the summer period through Alex's guidance and support and he acheived an A* result in the start of year exams - a significant improvement from the C grade he achieved in the L6 end of year exam.
The likelihood is that we'll be reaching out to Alex once more closer to the A-level exams to help plug any knowledge gaps and solidify understanding of topic areas.
Much respect, Alex. Thank you so much for the all the guidance and support provided over the summer period!
It's been a pleasure and what a great reward for him given all the hard work he put in over the summer!
From Tracy
Alex has been tutoring my daughter A level physics since Sept 2022. After the very first lesson, my daughter was certain that she wanted to continue receiving lessons. He helped her to prepare for the PAT for Oxford entrance initially. Even though she did not get an interview, she did score well on the exam and the lessons with Alex were excellent preparation. In addition, ongoing lessons with Alex have helped my daughter make faster progress on this course. When she started the lessons, she was teacher assessed at B/C. On the last mock exam she achieved A* and was the highest performing student in her class. Alex has been very reliable and even offered extra sessions in the Easter break too. His tutoring methods are clearly very effective and have really helped my daughter understand the course concepts much more clearly. My daughter is hoping to go onto degree level physics next. At one point, she wavered in her decision in favour of maths. However, as the time with Alex increased, her grades did too and now she is in a strong position to continue on with her initial choice. In conclusion, I can recommend Alex, without any reservation, as an outstanding A level physics tutor.
An absolute pleasure to tutor!
From Gordon
Alex has been a great help for our daughter. He has explained concepts and processes in maths clearly and as a result she has gained a better understanding of the subject and more confidence. Thank you Alex.
Many thanks for the review- it's been a pleasure to assist her with her studies!
From Michael
Alex is a very experienced,highly professional tutor. He manages perfectly to reach his student in a direct face to face conversation and he can explain even complex and “dry”topics so that they are interesting for the student and understandable, Absolutely recommandable.
From Jennifer
Extremely reliable, positive and collaborative teaching style. Has worked wondered with our daughters confidence and skills in physics and maths a-level
Thank you so much, a total pleasure to tutor!
From Chris
Kevin has greatly enjoyed his lessons with Alex and made progress in understanding some of the more abstract concepts in Physics and Maths. The sessions have boosted his confidence in the upcoming IGCSE next year. Highly recommended!
Thank you, Kevin is a pleasure to tutor!
From Kristy
Quick to get back to me. Very clear and helpful with A level / PAT physics

Finding Alex is the best move we have ever made! Our son was very disappointed with his A level maths grade (d) after being given a predicted grade (b). he wanted to re-sit his exam but seemed unclear on how to improve because so much work had been missed during lockdown. Revision on his own didn't give him any clearer answers either and he became increasingly despondent about the whole thing. Alex has stepped in and boosted his confidence enormously, explaining things clearly whilst going through test papers together. Our son regularly comes out of his lesson saying "it's amazing, I understand that bit now, the school never explained that… etc etc". He gets on very well with Alex who is friendly and very easy for him to talk to. Alex is always punctual and happy to fit in extra lessons when asked. We really couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Thank you for your kind comments, it's been a pleasure working with your son!
From Lisa
My daughter has had a few sessions with him and says he is fantastic!!! well organized, clear explanations and professional
From Fionnuala
Alex is a brilliant tutor, I can't recommend him highly enough. He worked with my son on A Level Maths and Physics all the way through the covid period, through lockdowns and when school resumed (in all about 18 months). He was patient, understanding brilliant at explaining things, thorough - just a fantastic teacher.
Thank you so much feedback. It was a pleasure working with James- all the best for his future academic success!
From Melanie
Alex has provided several sessions of A Level Physics tuition for my son. He is a great tutor who explains concepts clearly. He is also very flexible, slotting in sessions as needed.
Thank you for your kind words. It's a pleasure to tutor your son!
From Noushin
Alex has always replied to emails quickly and professionally. My son has been having sessions with Alex for A level Physics and Alex has helped him to become more organised and with how to revise. He is finding the sessions so helpful and feels much more confident as a result. Having had some poor experiences in the past, I feel confident that in engaging Alex's help, we have made a very sound decision and would recommend him as a tutor. Many thanks Alex!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. It's a pleasure on my end!

From Mei
Alex is a really experienced tutor who is currently helping our 15 year old daughter for her physics GCSE/mock exams. He has provided a wide range of resources, and helped her to comprehend and visualise each question step by step, all while as sticking to the syllabus. This has really boosted her confidence. Thank you very much!
From Lukas
Alex tutored my son during his last years of A levels for physics. We were very impressed with his approach and results. He managed to get my son from a D/E result to a B/C result by the end of the year with the first months focused on revision of the first year and ensuring the foundation was there. He tested comprehension with a set of mock exams over the christmas period. Then he moved on the second year of A levels. Always patient, explaining the concepts well, sending revision sheets, practice papers, providing homework… regular feed-back also to parents on how it is going which I really appreciated. We had a very open and trusting relationship. As a result of Alex's excellent approach, my son is now starting at the course of his choice in mechanical engineering. I really recommend this tutor!
From Grace
Alex is an excellent tutor and my daughter thoroughly enjoyed learning with him. He has a very logical and clear way of teaching and a deep understanding of his subjects. I would highly recommend him .
From Tatiana
Alex is very professional, enthusiastic and reliable. His lessons are interesting, engaging and super helpful. We would highly recommend him to other students
I am very pleased that you find the lessons helpful! Many Thanks!
From Fiona
Alex is great. He really helped my daughters confidence with the harder questions in Physics and Maths GCSE. He understood and worked to the GCSE spec very well. Alex was clear in demonstrating concepts using an online whiteboard which was really helpful as my daughter is dyslexic so meant she could unpick problems or topics visually as well as using text books. Alex always communicated well, was flexible when needed and professional. We hope to continue with Alex for A levels.
Thank you! It's been a pleasure working with you both.
From Lisa
Alex has been a fantastic tutor for our son, who missed 12 months of school and core elements of the maths GCSE curriculum (due to ill health). Alex not only helped our son catch up on a vast amount of work, he also tutored him in a way which enabled our son to fully understand all aspects of maths, and to build his confidence as a mathematician. Over the course of the tutoring, our son completely changed his negative feelings about maths in to positive ones. Our son also completely engaged with the interactive technology that Alex uses, and has even used some of these tools for other subjects. Before Alex came on board, our son was predicted to achieve a Grade 5 in maths, however, he achieved a grade 8 (equivalent to A*). Alex is an excellent tutor, with a clear, calm and accurate approach, and we can’t thank him enough.
I am so glad to hear that he is doing so well!
From Rachael
Alex has been an excellent tutor across Physics, Chemistry and Maths GCSE (WJEC) over the past year. He has been extremely flexible with timings when needed, and has gone over and above to ensure that there are materials that my son can refer to outside lessons. He has also been willing to provide specific help with homework problems outside lessons. Can't recommend him enough
Mae Alex wedi bod yn diwtor wych, a wedi codi hyder a dealltwriaeth fy mab mewn pwnciau ble mae'n ymdrechu i gadw lan gyda'r dosbarth.
Diolch yn fawr am y sylwadau! Gobeithio bydd y canlyniadau yn adlewyrchu ei holl waith caled!
From Nicole
My son Zak has found his physics sessions really useful and he now understands topics he struggled with very clearly. Alex is super efficient and also sends notes from the session through afterwards which is very useful. He’s a great tutor!
From Kirsten
We cannot recommend Alex highly enough. I had great hopes of what you might be able to do for our son studying Maths and Physics A level and they have exceeded that. Thank you Alex
Thank you for your kind words. He is a joy to tutor, and I hope we can see the efforts of his great work in the future!
From Maya
From Stephen
Alex is very professional and efficient in his approach but is also able to relate well to my son and gets his undivided attention for maths sessions. My son seems to be back on track with his maths now and i am hoping that Alex can continue to guide him through to a good result in May 2018.
Thank you, it's a pleasure working with him!
From Moire
My son has only had two sessions with Alex so far, but he (son) seems positive. I shall leave feedback later once he's had more time. I have not sat in (A2 Physics) but Alex appears to be efficient and organised and provides whiteboard notes from the session.
Thank you - hopefully, after a few more sessions, we'll be able to increase that feedback to 5 stars! :)
From Robel
A Brilliant Tutor… Dr Alex Veary- has a very engaging style of tuition. Each lesson is impeccably thought out with references :) ! Probably one of the best tutors we have had todate.

From Mark
Excellent teacher and very accommodating. A great find. Would thoroughly recommend.
Thank you for your feedback, Mark. It has been a pleasure working with you, and I look forward to working with you in the future.
From Brenda
Alex was a superb tutor. He tutored my son for a number of sessions in the half term immediately before his IGCSE chemistry exam. My son had very little idea of the subject before hand but obtained a real understanding of the subject in those few sessions. Alex was always reliable and completely punctual and got on very well with my son. Thank you very much.
