Calise has been tutoring my son for his Biology A-Level. After failing his mock exam in January we contacted Calise who has come up with a comprehensive plan on how to get my son back on track to hopefully achieve the grade he needs for the next steps in his education. Calise is extremely responsive, so it is easy to make arrangements and my son is responding really well to him and enjoying his sessions. He says he finds them really useful and they help him to focus and build his confidence. Calise has been great at explaining difficult concepts and is patient with my son's sometimes chaotic style of studying. We are a few weeks into working with Calise and I would happily recommend him to anyone looking for a competent and personable tutor for their child.
Thanks for the lovely feedback Marion! I'm very happy the sessions are proving to be useful, and your son has put a great deal of effort as well. I'm sure if we keep on at this rate, there is no reason that we shouldn't be able to get the grades we are hoping for!
From Kim
We are very plased and Calise. Very structured and he has established a good and direct communication and scheulde with my daughter. We would recommend him at any time.
Hi Kim,
Thank you for the positive feedback, it is greatly appreciated! I am very happy that she is responding well to the sessions, and I'm looking forward to working more together in future.
Many thanks,
Calise
From Michelle
Calise is an excellent tutor. He conducted a thorough assessment to establish areas of strengths and weaknesses and created a learning programme based on his findings. He is friendly and approachable and is adept at explaining things in a variety of different ways to ensure the student understands every concept. He works at the student's pace and encourages questions and discussion. My son used to dislike biology and now really enjoys it! Highly recommend.
Thank you very much for the positive feedback Michelle. I am very glad that your son has responded so well to the sessions so far, and he has been putting in a great deal of work too. It's absolutely amazing to hear that he has now began to enjoy the subject!
Looking forward to our next session!
From Susan
Calise has been superb. He teaches our daughter chemistry A level in a very clear comprehensible way and responds in helpful terms to all my daughter's questions. She feels much more secure in her understanding since Calise has started teaching her.
Thank you for the positive feedback Susan! I am glad the sessions are being received so well. I look forward to working with you both again once schools open up.
From Muriel
Calise has been tutoring our daughter during her Year 11, leading into her GCSEs, on Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry and Biology. We had a really great experience with Calise from the first contact to the end of the tutoring sessions. He has demonstrated adaptability in tailoring his 1-hour weekly sessions with her to her needs, reviewing lessons content in depth, proposing exercises from a variety of sources including mock GCSE papers. Very soon, we extended the lessons to 90 mins, which proved to work really well. Beyond his academic skills, our daughter appreciated his soft-spoken approach, listening to the needs she expressed, checking her understanding and pushing her to go above and beyond in her mastery of the concepts. He has given her the tools to excel, which she did with 2 8s and 2 9s.
Thank you so much Calise for your constant support during this demanding year, our daughter is very proud of what she achieved with you! We would strongly recommend Calise to any students looking to succeed!
Thank you so much for some lovely feedback Muriel! It really was a pleasure working with you both and I think she should be thrilled with her results. I'm looking forward to hearing how she gets on with her A-levels, she has a great attitude and work ethic, and I'm sure she will do amazing.
From Victoria
Calise tutored my daughter for a number of weeks prior to her A level Chemistry to explain some of the modules she was struggling with and in order to improve a poor mock result. Calise's approach is considered, intelligent and kind. One of his strengths is making a quick and accurate assessment of the pupil's needs and then making a realistic plan within the timeline to the exam. He boosted my daughter's confidence in exam practice and pin pointed the weaker areas so that these could be strengthened. The tutoring sessions proved invaluable in making progress, with a higher grade achieved for the second round of mocks. Overall, it is thanks to Calise's tutoring that my daughter felt more able to tackle complex concepts and enter the A level exams having made great improvements. I highly recommend Calise as a tutor.
Really kind of you to leave some lovely feedback Victoria. I had a great experience teaching your daughter, she showed an amazing improvement running up to her exams and I think she should be very proud of what she accomplished. I think your daughter will succeed at whatever she chooses to do in this upcoming year, especially if she puts the same amount of work in as she did with these exams. I wish you both the best of luck for the future!
From Ella
I am so very grateful to Calise for helping my daughter to achieve her A-Levels in Biology and Chemistry after she had decided to study at home for her A-Levels. Calise's patience, enthusiasm and good humour always made it a pleasure for my daughter to study and he was always extremely reliable and we feel extremely fortunate to have had him as a tutor. My daughter writes that "Calise was a brilliant tutor! He helped me through my A Levels and I couldn't have wanted anybody friendlier or more efficient. He was great at communicating about what time suited, made brilliant revision resources for both my Chemistry and Biology A level course. He also showed me how to create the revision materials which is a skill I'm going to treasure as I've never been great at that and found in the past it was a setback. I've kept all the materials he had made for me and am taking them to Uni with me. He's helped me get to the course I'll be studying in September, Conservation Biology. Couldn't recommend him highly enough".
Thank you so much both, it truly has been a pleasure to work with you and I wish you all the success for the future. I'm sure you are smashing Conservation Biology.
