My son's confidence improved vastly with Gavin. He is patient and considerate and an excellent tutor.
Thank you for the encouraging feedback Maria. I’m glad Sean benefited from his lessons with me. Many thanks.
From Saroj
Let me start with Rating, 5* would be less for Gavin. When my son didn’t do well in year 10 English result, I thought to start tutoring for him. I choose Gavin based on his 5* rating and never regretted for that. Gavin made him comfortable and confident from beginning. He identified all my son’s weaknesses and focused on it. In less than 2 months time, there was parents meeting and teacher was so happy for his progress, and he has been so confident since then. I am writing this feedback when my son’s GCSE exams are going on and I am really not worried about his results as I know he has been tutored by Gavin so well. Gavin does not only give his best during lesson but also emails detail feedback after each lesson which is really helpful to understand my son’s progress and potential as well as which areas he needs to improve on. Overall I would definitely recommend Gavin as tutor.
Thank you very much Saroj for these kind comments. Your son has showed definite improvement over the last year and is ready to take his GCSE exams now. I am very happy with your son’s progress especially over the last few months.
I wish all the best for his exams. And thank you once again
From Karen
Gavin is an excellent tutor who has inspired my son in his writing. He was never good at writing essays, but now he would like to become a writer! Although initially my son protested having a tutor, he is now very grateful for Gavin. Gavin always provides detailed feedback via email to the parent after every lesson, which I truly appreciate. We wish we had found him sooner! THANK YOU VERY MUCH, GAVIN!
Thank you Karen for your feedback on my First Tutors profile. I am really pleased that Brendan has taken such an interest in his English studies, and in fact, wants to become a writer as a result of my tutoring and encouragement.
Many thanks again.
From Jian
Gavin has greatly helped my son with his English for almost 2 years now. He has now achieved a Grade 9 in his English Language mock with the help Gavin has offered him.

From ABDUL
My Son started doing English lessons with Gavin few months ago when he was in Year 9. He has now entered Year 10 and I can see that he has been making very good progress, which was obvious in his recent school assessment. I would say its all due to hard work of Gavin with my son. Keep up the good work Gavin- You have been an excellent teacher and I hope you will continue with your efforts. Thanks once again!!
From Shaz
It is still early days but so far so good. My son looks forward to the GCSE English lessons with Gavin. Gavin is clear and precise in the deliverance of his lessons. My son understands what is expected of him each lesson. He is gaining a clearer understanding of the subject and what is needed to equip him for his GCSE. Gavin is a good tutor, thank you.
From Lara
Gavin, has tutored my son 3 times online. The plan is for him to teach twice a week and help my son, who is 15, catch up on English GCSE. Gavin is extremely patient and knowledgeable. He puts a lot of effort into explaining things to my son, who really appreciates his lessons with Gavin. I recommend Gavin, wholeheartedly!

From Mo
I found Gavin to be a very experienced & knowledgeable tutor (in KS3 English) and he has quickly built up a warm & friendly relationship with my son (aged 12). My son enjoys the one to one tutoring and I can see that Gavin is definately encouraging & motivating my son in the right direction. Gavin has always given me a short summary of what's been achieved in the tutoring class and he is very helpful with additional ideas & support. Overall, we're very impressed with Gavin. I'd definately recommend him to other parents & schoolchildren.
Thank you Mo, for your kind comments, I am very happy to teach your son and can see how he has improved over a relatively short period of time.
From Saminda
Gavin has been helping my son prepare for his mock exams. He is an excellent tutor who is very reliable, punctual, and also very organised. He is highly knowledgeable when it comes to the exam boards and proficient at explaining complicated components of English literature.
Gavin also has a sense of humour, which he uses to keep his lessons interesting, without compromising his professionalism. I believe that this balance is very effective when it comes to teaching students well.
It is also important to note how Gavin also gives lesson feedback soon after the tutoring session is over. In this way, I am always aware of the lesson plan and my son's weekly progress. Overall, I am convinced that Gavin is a great tutor, and I have no reluctance in recommending him for anyone else who seeks an accomplished tutor.
Thank you Saminda for your very positive comments. This will help enable me to raise my profile on First Tutors and encourage new tutoring enquiries.
Many Thanks,
Gavin

From Martin
Gavin is tutoring my son in A level History and he is an excellent tutor. He is reliable and organised, always on time and has good subject and exam board knowledge. Gavin always gives us clear and concise feedback on how the tutoring has gone and what the next steps are. My son is also very happy with Gavin's tutoring and says that he is good at explaining things to him and he now understands the topics much better. I have no hesitation in recommending Gavin to anyone seeking a tutor in History.
Thank you for the excellent feedback Martin,
It is much appreciated and will help to raise my profile for future tutoring requests.
Kind regards,
Gavin

From Martin
He's got my positive feedback, because he explains everything in detail and in depth. By using his language skills as a teacher, he helped me to catch up in terms of developing my knowledges, my skills and to prepare myself sufficiently well to pass any language exam.

Gavin is professional and very approachable. The lessons are well structured and our son is definitely benefiting from the one-to-one lessons. Gavin has identified both weaknesses and strengths. We would definitely recommend Gavin.

I have found Gavin to be extremely reliable and conscientious. He took the time to listen to my son (year 9) to find his interests and then he identified areas/ gaps in understanding to address in further sessions. He was always on time and often sent follow up work to be completed. My son's English level has improved as a result of his tutoring.
From Susan
prompt, pleasant and easy going. Put my son at ease straight away. Very dedicated .
