Gavin had started tutoring my daughter - 2 sessions in he has had to cancel due to person reasons. Just unfortunate when relationship was being built between them but these thing happen.

My daughter was so far behind in her chemistry due to illness and missing classes that she was about to give up. With Gavins patience and tutoring skills she passed her chemistry A level. He is an excellent tutor and i would highly recommended him to anyone.
Thank you Karen, I am very proud of how your daughter performed given her struggles this year. I am sure she will be a success no matter what she decides to do!
From Catherine
Gavin is a really patient and pleasant tutor. He was always well prepared for lessons with great knowledge of chemistry and the CCEA A level specification. I never felt anxious to ask questions and feel he helped my grade go from an A to an A*. Thank you! Christina
Thanks Christina! Congratulations again :)
From Joanne
Gavin has been an amazing tutor for my son who was working for his Chemistry AS. We were starting from a fairly low point post-mocks, and with a lot of panic & stress setting in as the exams loomed. Gavin calmed things right down, worked with my son through all his areas of difficulty and boosted both his knowledge and his confidence pre-exams. I can’t recommend him highly enough. Thanks Gavin for all your help!
Thank you Joanne, your son was a pleasure to tutor and my fingers will be crossed for him! I hope he enjoys his summer.
From Asma
Gavin has been very punctual and has helped my son tremensously with his GCSE Chemistry exam preparation. My son had been been struggling with organic chemistry for a while and under Gavin's guidance, he feels more confident now. He focuses a lot on exam questions and this helps in developing techniques to approach exam questions and how to answer them. Overall, I am quite satisfied with Gavin's teaching methods and with his grasp of the subject.
From Jim
Gavin was great. My son really benefitted from his interaction with Gavin. So much so that be got a commendation for a mind map he produced in class from his teacher when he returned after the holidays. Chemistry was his weaker subject so for that to happen was fantastic
Thank you Jim! Your son was a pleasure to teach and I have no doubt he will do well, remind him I'm happy to answer any questions he may have before his exam.
From Robert

From Alejandro
Gavin has helped me with my chemistry learning significantly. In addition to being very responsive and generally available, he has the ability to explain complex chemistry problems and make them more comprehensible.
From Sally
I have been having intensive lessons with Gavin throughout an 11-day period, and I decided I had found the right tutor upon our first lesson. He could communicate abstract ideas well. We work well together, and I feel his passion for chemistry, which is as strong as for teaching. He doesn't go on and on but he listens to me, tackling my confusion right where I have it. He has made me understand a lot better about NMR, chromatography, or just organic chemistry in general. Thank you for being so patient in answering my silly questions!
Thank you for your kind words Sally, I have no doubt you'll do well in your upcoming exams!
From Jim
Well organised and very helpful
From VAIDEHIBEN

From Aoife
Gavin has been tutoring my daughter for GCSE Chemistry since the beginning of September. I have found him to be friendly and professional. He has provided me with a realistic overview of what my daughter needs to do in order to improve her Chemistry marks. Initially I had expected that she would need to have weekly sessions throughout the academic year to improve her understanding of the subject. However after the first tutorial Gavin told me that she would need three initial weekly sessions and following these fortnightly sessions would be sufficient, which, in my view, demonstrates honesty and integrity. My daughter's confidence in her ability to do Chemistry has increased. She now has a better understanding of the topics that she was unable to grasp last year and has told me that Gavin's explanations are clear and detailed. Gavin has also given advice on exam technique which she finds very useful.
Hi Aoife,
Thank you very much for your kind words. I have no doubt that your daughter will continue to improve and I look forward to working with both of you for the rest of the school year.
Best,
Gavin
From Sarah

I have gavin for AS chemistry tutoring, he’s a really excellent tutor, explains things clearly and knows the specification well. Really easy to talk to, so you can ask questions without feeling stupid. Would strongly reccomend
Thanks Ella, I'm looking forward to working with you this year!
From Gemma
Gavin is an amazing tutor! For the past couple of months he has been helping me with my AS level chemistry and I have enjoyed and benefitted from every session. Gavin is evidently passionate about the subject and very patient in explaining things. He has simplified complex concepts which has made some of my worst areas of chemistry my strong points. I have never felt that any question is silly and he encourages you to apply your knowledge and work through something you might not understand. My confidence has 100% grown over the course of these past months. I've found complete reliability and punctuality in Gavin and I would highly recommend him to anyone!
Thanks Gemma! Looking forward to tutoring you this year. You’re coming along great!
From Karen
My daughter has been attending Gavin for the last few months helping her with as/a2 chemistry. Gavin would appear to be passionate about his subject and patient . He takes his time in explaining & simplifying concepts. Gavin also is helping Emma with her exam technique & she is slowly getting her confidence back. I would highly recommend Gavin .
Thanks Karen, I have no doubt that Emma will continue to improve and I enjoy seeing her grow in confidence!
From Saan
Patient and thorough in explaining topics I don't understand while also helping with exam techniques and simplifying difficult concepts
From Lynn
Gavin has been an amazing tutor. He is so knowledgeable and patient and explains things in a way you understand them. He takes his time explaining and doesn’t get frustrated or annoyed when he has to explain it more than once (Because of the student, not him). He has given me so much confidence in myself and my chemistry capabilities that when my exam comes around, I really feel that I am going to pass. I have found him to be trustworthy and reliable. I’m so glad I found Gavin. He has helped me so much with chemistry and I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Thank you for your kind words Lynn, I'm sure that you will pass your exam no problem!
From Aaron
Gavin is an excellent tutor who has not just helped me to address my weaknesses in chemistry, but has made the learning process a lot more enjoyable! I myself have had trouble with exam technique, particularly with being concise about my answer, but Gavin has shown me how to be more efficient at answering each question which is extremely important for time management during the actual exam. Through working on my exam technique and filling in the gaps in my knowledge, my past paper practice marks really have improved. I couldn't recommend Gavin enough!
Thank you for your feedback Aaron! Glad the lessons have been of use to you.
From Sophie
Gavin is very thorough, knowledgeable and approachable. He presents complex concepts in a way which is clear to understand in a patient, encouraging manner, and will make every effort to explain it in multiple ways to make sure I understand. After my first few lessons with him, I feel much more confident and now understand difficult concepts when I couldn’t before. His teaching style incorporates lots of practical work which is exactly what I was looking for, and we get a lot done in just an hour. I would highly recommend him as a tutor!
Thank you for your feedback Sophie!
From Jonathan
Gavin is helping my daughter with AS Chemistry. He is friendly and organised. He has an excellent knowledge and is very good explaining the different topics of chemistry. Very pleased with progress after just a few sessions. I would highly recommend Gavin as a tutor.
