Andrew tutored my son in politics. My son found Andrew helpful both in learning the subject and also in exam technique building his confidence and enabling him to go into the exams with confidence. I found Andrew to be excellent at communication with me as parent and administration was very simple.
I would have no hesitation in recommending Andrew to other parents as an excellent tutor
Thanks John, that's very much appreciated, all the best to you both for the future!
From Ann Maria
Andrew was a great help and enabled me to elevate my grade (I got an A in the end) in a very short time span, with his efficient yet informative sessions. I would definitely recommend him as a tutor for anyone that struggles especially with essay writing.
Thanks Ann Marie, congratulations on your results!
From Kirstie
Andrew was excellent. My son enjoyed his lessons and they were will structured and planned. He provided lots of exam practice which was what my son needed. He got an A grade in his politics A level and is now considering studying politics at University. I could not be happier with this service and would recommend it to others
Thanks Kirstie, it's been a pleasure and I am so happy for him!
From Laura
Andrew is tutoring my son to complete his Politics A level in a year and he is a perfect fit for my son. He is personable and kind and keeps my son interested. He also has the knowledge and experience to be able to be flexible on different ways of delivering the syllabus. He keeps my son focused on exam strategies and techniques and he feeds back on essays etc. He encourages my son to do some work on his own. It seems to me that this format suits the Politics A level in particular.
Thanks Laura, look forward to working with your son this year!
From Kate
Andrew has provided excellent, targeted A level Politics support for my daughter. She consequently gained an A* in her year 12 exam. She will have some further support sessions as needed in year 13. I definitely recommend Andrew as a tutor. He has provided my daughter with access to lots of revision resources in addition to his excellent tutorials.
Thanks a lot Kate, I look forward to next year!
From George
Andrew is a dynamic, compassionate, charismatic, sensitive and professional tutor. I started my tutoring with Andrew in January for OCR alevel re. After repeating a year, and struggling to puncture the A* bracket, Andrew provided me with a framework of support and expertise necessary not only to achieve the grade, but also to be confident in my own knowledge and skills. With Andrew’s assistance, dedication and hard work, exams which have felt impossible have been made not only possible, but an opportunity to show off the my hard work and interest within the subject. Andrew tailors study to student’s interests, expanding knowledge past the specification, whilst maintaining a fool proof essay structure foundation on which students may build. I could not recommend him enough, thank you truly Andrew for all your tireless help and assistance through this stressful time. George :)
Thanks very much for the lovely feedback George, it's been a pleasure to work with you and I hope the results reflect your efforts!

Thank you Andrew for all your help and support!
Thanks Alex, I knew you could do it!!! Good luck for the future and all the best!
From Kim
Andrew is a fantastic tutor. He was a huge help to my son studying both his Politics and Religious Studies (philosophy) A levels. He has a great way of teaching not only the content but also mastering essay techniques and knowing what examiners are looking for. He’s also just a really nice guy and my son said he taught him a lot about having a positive mindset and study skills. We can’t recommend him highly enough!
Thanks Kim, I'm so glad James got what he deserved! It was great working with both of you.
From Jim
Andrew is an excellent tutor. Our son Tom excelled with Andrew’s guidance. The lessons were focussed, invigorating and fun, and Tom’s passion for the subject flourished. Andrew has expert knowledge of the subject and an insight of the path to exam success. He’s completely reliable and a pleasure to have in the home. 100% recommended.
Thanks Jim, Tom was a great pleasure to work with, intelligent, warm and a very hard worker and I'm so happy he is enjoying studying philosophy at university. All the best to you all, Andrew
From Saira
Excellent teacher who met all our expectations and helped my daughter in such a short time .
Thanks for the feedback, glad I helped and hope you are all well!
From Imogen
really thorough tutor
Thanks Imogen, good luck on your future and it was a pleasure to work with you, especially in these tricky times!
From Maria
Andrew was a philosophy tutor for my son doing A level philosophy. He is a pleasure to deal with, very efficient, punctual and reliable. He was able to impart his knowledge in a way that increased understanding and was mindful of exam board requirements. He definitely improved both my son's grasp of the subject and his marks at school. I would have no hesitation in recommending him.
Thanks Maria, it was a pleasure working with you and your son!
From Anne
Thanks Anne!
From Sarah
My son started studying for three A levels this February, in preparation for taking them in May. He was self-taught and taking them as an external student. When the philosophy teacher at the school found out, he said to my son, ‘You do realise that this is impossible, don’t you?’ which was understandably demotivating! However, we found Andrew online and everything changed. Other tutors had not been prepared to work with a student who had had no conventional teaching, and in such a short space of time, but Andrew did not see this as a problem. He was supportive and encouraging, yet also very challenging, and did not accept anything less than my son’s best efforts. He was extremely patient but also quite ruthless in his expectations which was just what was needed. As a result, my son achieved grade Cs in all three in just over three months and this could not have been achieved without Andrew’s focused teaching. My son looked forward to their sessions and was quite sad when they ended. He was stimulated by their discussions, whilst still being clear that he was preparing for the exams, and used the essay technique in all of his subjects. Andrew made the impossible possible. Complete value for money. I recommend him unreservedly.
Thanks a lot Sarah, really happy I could help!
From Sonia
Andrew kindly fitted my daughter in for revision just before A level exams , he was very good giving her good book suggestions for revision and was very reassuring and positive . We wished we had Andrew as Yas's tutor at a much earlier stage . We highly recommend Andrew and the skype tutoring has worked very well for us .
My daughter got an A so thanks again Andrew !
Thanks Sonia, it was a pleasure, best of luck for the future!
From Catherine
Andrew has been an excellent tutor for my daughter in preparation for her RS A level. She enjoyed his sessions hugely; being dyslexic he was able to guide her through, exactly what was required in essay content and structure. He went through each subject area she did not fully understand in a clear and succinct way and she found him both motivating and engaging. His essay feedback was prompt with clear instructions on how to improve and additional items to add. I would highly recommend Andrew to other parents.
Thanks, Catherine, all the best for the future!
From Joyce
Andrew, you have been a great Teacher for Carlton. You are flexible and caring. You helped Carlton through the most difficult parts of his exams. After his sessions with you, he gained so much confidence. You are valuable for his success. I cannot thank you enough.
Thanks Joyce, Carlton is a great Kid and I wish him all the best for the future!
From Daksha
I highly rate Andrew as a tutor. So glad we found him. My son finds his teaching style very effective. Great to see a passionate teacher who believes in his students.
Thanks, it is a pleasure to work with your son!
From Maria
Andrew has been tutoring my daughter in A level Philosophy since December 2018. He is professional, reliable and has a great subject knowledge. He immediately put her at ease and her confidence has grown in a subject she was finding challenging. Andrew tailors his session to the individual and is flexible in his approach providing a range of face to face sessions, detailed essay feedback, skype sessions and access to useful resources. I am confident these sessions will help her to achieve a top grade in her summer exams and I recommend Andrew to anyone looking for tutoring in this subject.
From Jaclyn
Andrew is an excellent tutor who has helped my son at university level.
Thanks Jaclyn, it was a pleasure!
From Stella
Dear Andrew
He sounds excellent !

From Salh

From Nina
Andrew was very proactive and helpful in identifying the topics that Izzi needed covering. Sending additional material to help consolidate tricky concepts. His communication has been prompt and feedback effective. He was friendly and approachable and helped Izzi gain the required confidence to go into her exams with a greater understanding of what is being asked from the exam format. I can thoroughly recommend him for A-level tuition
Thanks a lot for the feedback Nina, your daughter was a pleasure to teach and I wish her all the best for the future, Andrew
From Tracey
Very helpful re: both giving feedback and additional notes to supplement holes in knowledge or technique. Also well-versed on exam technique, was actually an examiner for the A2 modules I am resitting which has come in very useful.
Thanks Tracey! You've been a pleasure to work with.
From Louise
Thank you Andrew for tutoring me during my gap year. I was very pleased with the help you provided on how to structure my essays and the detailed feedback you gave my work which you felt would boost the grade. I liked that you used your own examples to explain some of the concepts like religious experiences. I felt that this as well as your guidance on structure helped me to make logical arguments and counter-arguments during my exam. I did find that Skype lessons were a lot more challenging than the usual face to face tutoring, however this could not be helped and overall I was pleased with the support you gave me. I was very happy with my results seeing as I improved from a C to an A, and I am grateful for your help in achieving this grade. Thank you again!
Thank you Louise, you were a pleasure to work with! Good luck for the future!
From Katy
From Moji
Andrew was excellent, my son found it good. He tells you how to write an A* essay. He breaks it down so you can understanding it better and he gives good analogies. Moji
From Maria
Andrew helped me with creating a plan for my assignment, explained the moments I couldn't understand, went through grammar and structure. He does it quick and professionally. Thank you
Thanks Maria, it was my pleasure!
From Naimah
Within a few months of tutoring with Andrew, I was able to improve my D grades to A grade work in philosophy and politics. Andrew has great knowledge in these subjects and is able to simplify hard topics. As an examiner, he was able to solve my difficulty in understanding the vague mark schemes and finding model answers. Andrew showed me exactly what an A* essay looks like and how I can achieve it by correcting my essays and turning them into model answers himself. This made me realise how achieving A/A* grades is much easier than I thought!
This was also my first experience of online tutoring, I was very skeptical at first but quickly realised how time saving and useful it can be. I am still able to handwrite essays and receive feedback from Andrew by email before even starting the hourly skype sessions. This way I feel supported throughout the whole week.
From Thonmoy
A great teacher with very good subject knowledge; he is even more useful as a tutor because of his experience as an examiner with the board I am studying. He is also patient and reassuring with any topics that seem difficult at first sight so I have been happy with the service provided.
Thanks Thonmoy, you are a pleasure to tutor!
From Tatyana
Very Good and very professional! An expert in his field and Exactly what we were looking for!
From Georgina
My daughter is happy with the tuition she is receiving and is finding it helpful.
