Gary is an excellent maths teacher who tutored both my children, supporting my son to get an A for Maths during a very difficult period of lockdown and then helping my daughter, who initially didn’t like maths, get an A in her GCSE mocks. He has the ability to make the subject accessible. I couldn’t recommend him enough. Both my kids and I give him an A-Star.
From Nicola
Total professional- my son needed a nudge having dropped a couple of grades over the past year. After a few sessions with Gary he flew through his GCSE mocks & brimmed with confidence- will definitely use again & highly recommend.
Thank you very much for the kind words, glad the mocks went well
From Janine
Gary has been an excellent tutor to my eldest son, helping him feel far more confident about his GCSE’s which he has just taken. He made such a positive impact that he has just started tutoring my youngest and has already started to make a difference, He will also be tutoring my middle child from September I would definitely recommend Gary for anyone looking for additional support with maths…
From Marcia
Since starting her lessons with Gary, in a short time, my daughter has already regained her confidence in maths and has improved her grade in a recent test as a result. She feels so much happier in maths now thanks to Gary, who is always kind, patient and encouraging. Wish we had done this ages ago.
Thank you for your kind feedback Marcia. She is doing really well
From Jacqui
Gary is a great tutor, he was flexible and understanding if we had to re arrange a session which can often happen with young people and their commitments. He was approachable with a pleasant, friendly, professional and respectful disposition, keeping me informed of my sons progress and very reliable. I would not hesitate to recommend him.
From Susan
Gary helped our son with his GCSE maths to help secure a top grade.
He was very reliable, competent and professional. Our son found Gary very approachable and easy to speak too.
He communicated with us every week and kept us updated with our son’s progress.
From Samantha
Gary worked with our son continuously from November 2019 until August 2020. He was instrumental in helping our son reach the GCSE grade in Maths he did (6). I'm certain if it wasn't for the fiasco that was Lockdown he would have supported our son to attain a 7, which he decided he wanted after his Maths mock!
Gary willingly continued to work with our Son throughout the summer in readyness for him to start A'level Maths, zoom worked excellently.
We will continue to use Gary over the next 2 years to support the cementing of Maths knowledge and where additional time is needed in trickier areas.
As a parent I cannot thank Gary enough and our son thinks he was pretty great too.
I highly recommend Gary if you are looking for a grounded, supportive and patient tutor who clearly knows his stuff and what the examiners are after!
From Deb
Gary has helped my daughter get her confidence back with maths. My daughter likes him and always says how much he has helped her. He always text before the lesson to find out what she would like to go over that lesson. She achieved a really good result with her GCSE mocks - her current maths teacher was really pleased with her result. This was because of garys tutoring. He always arrives on time is very personable and i cannot recommend him enough.
From Catherine
Gary was a great tutor, really helped us to gain a good understanding of where my 13yo is with his Maths. Gary really helped with my sons confidence in Maths
Thank you Catherine, glad to of helped
From Lynda
Gary was lovely and excellent. He always booked the times before, often changed to suit us, always checked beforehand if there was anything my daughter wanted to go over. Becca was really not confident in Maths, and had just been given a grade 1 in her Mocks in . She got the 4 she needed by her GCSEs in June, thanks to Gary's excellent teaching and stacks of patience.
From Michelle
Gary is a fantastic tutor and my daughter really enjoyed her lessons with Gary. He was always very understanding and had a lovely manner in the way he taught her. Very professional and always punctual.
From Katrina
Fantastic communication and time keeping. Gary has been amazing for my son and personalised his tuition to meet his needs, covering areas which would be more beneficial to what my son was struggling with. His test results increased massively and we are awaiting a more successful GCSE grade due to all the good work. I would definitely recommend Gary.
From Deborah
Gary supported my son through his GCSE Maths re sit. His approach was great for my son and was quick to identify the areas that needed extra support and spend extra time and guidance on these areas. My son passed his GSCE and I would fully recommend Gary.
From Gill
Having been on the lookout for a maths tutor for some time I was really pleased to find someone who I thought would work perfectly with my daughter. I must admit I was amused when I received a reply to my enquiry addressed to a different person and referring to my 'son' but put this down to a one off error. Having paid my introduction fee I contacted the tutor again to make arrangements for a day/time for the sessions to take place. However despite a number of emails I have yet to receive any replies. Obviously as time moves on I am concerned that my daughter is missing out on the vital tutoring she requires and therefore feel that I have wasted valuable time pursuing this tutor.
Dear Gill
I can only apologise for your comments as this is not the standard I hold myself to. I’m afraid I have not received any of your e-mails with regards to tutoring since accepting your request.
Due to personal circumstances I can not offer tutoring to any more students at the moment hence why my advert has come down. I thus assumed you were not interested or found somebody before Xmas as I had not heard from you.
I wish you luck in finding a tutor and can only apologise for the inconvenience that has occurred.
Kind regards Gary
