We first engaged with Colin when our son was in the last year of primary school and the tuition continued throughout secondary school right up to exam prep for GCSEs. Colin is a first rate tutor who significantly helped our son by providing help with the key maths skills, as well as giving confidence in the subject. In addition, if we had concerns about anything we could always email or have a call which also really helped. Colin was very dedicated and clearly a very experienced teacher who was able to provide the right level of support to our son. I would have no hesitation in recommending Colin and would be sure that others received the same level of support as we did.
Thank you Mitra for your kind words!
I don't think that I thought I would be writing this in 2024 after seven years of tutoring your son! It has been a privilege to work with him.

Peter has helped my daughter with math lessons and she got 7 (A) at her GCSEs! We were so happy of this result! He was brilliant at teaching her and very patient. My daughter has improved so much with the lessons. I would definitely recommend Peter.
Thank you very much for the feedback!
Your daughter worked very hard and really wrestled with the maths problems to increase her understanding, She thoroughly deserved her excellent result.
I am sure she will continue to flourish at college in Cambridge,
From Roopa
He is very good. Explains in details everything.
Thank you very much for the feedback, Roopa. I am sure that your son will do really well in the Grammar schools entrance exams in September 2018. Roopa very kindly provided an update of this recently. She wrote, "… he written 4 grammar school entrances and he did very well and he got qualified marks for all schools he has written. Thank you very much your guidance has helped him very much."
From Bridgette
Patient and very encouraging
Many thanks for taking the time to provide feedback!
Your daughter did fabulously! Not only did she tackle gaps from the past but she also took on board the new Maths GCSE material during the year.
From Joanne
Peter is perfect for my daughter who is struggling with her GCSE Maths as she believes she is unabless to do it… He is always very calm, caring and helps her look at things in different ways to help her understand. Gives her step by step advice and boosts her confidence continously giving her praise. Highly recommend
Thanks Joanne, very kind of you!
From Tamzin
Great communications from the start meant that I was pretty confident to begin with. Peter was friendly and approachable and made an obvious effort to get to know my daughter straight away and assess her abilities. In turn, my daughter settled quickly and I'm happy that her confidence will increase week on week and we'll soon see the difference
Many thanks for the feedback!
I have been working with Tamzin's daughter for a month now. Her approach is excellent as are her grades in all her subjects bar maths; not an unusual situation at all! Together we are ironing out the gremlins which are hindering her progress in maths.
From Alexandra
I have found the perfect tutor! Not only did he book an appointment the same day I contacted him about tutoring,but my daughter really liked him! Peter covered so much in one lesson but it was not too much, my daughter cannot wait to hand her homework in on Friday to him. My daughter enjoyed her lesson and understood what Peter had explained to her. Peter was very friendly, reliable and pleasant, we cant wait to have him back for another lesson!
5/11/16 Thank you very much Alexandra, for such postive feedback. Its always nice to be appreciated! Your daughter has been applying herself really well over the last month and we have all, already, seen improvements. I am completely certain that this progress will continue!
From Stuart
Peter was a great match for our son. He adapted his style and related to him on a level that he could understand. Peter was patient and always made sure that the subject was understood before moving on. Thanks.
Thanks very much Stuart. It was great to work with your son over the whole school year and see his hard work rewarded!
From Ilona
Wonderful tutor, very reliable and very patient. Excellent at dealing with pupils who are not confident and brilliant at dealing with problem areas too. Highly recommended.
Many thanks for the positive feedback!
From Gavin
Peter is punctual and detailed in his work. The feed back from each session on key areas and where to focus efforts for improvement were invaluable.
My daughter was entered into her GCSE Maths one year early by the school and was finding the compressed syllabus challenging.
With Peters help she has achieved an 'A' grade.
Thank you very much indeed for taking the time to write a review. I am so pleased that the A grade was achieved. Your daughter is a very capable and determined young lady and thoroughly deserves this result!
From Caroline
Max is enjoying his tutoring which is fantastic! I felt that last week was the most engaged I had seen him, which was possibly due the practical nature of the session. Great idea to do volumes. After only 2 day back at school, Max has already seen the benefits of your help whilst doing maths in class. I am so pleased we've taken this step, and feel confident that with your continued assistance Max will do very well.
Thank you very much for the feedback!
I have been working with Max in the summer holidays, during which he has always applied himself fully.
This has enabled Max to start the all important Year 6 at 'full speed'.
Well done Max!
From Tara
I have yet to meet with Peter but he appears to be a very thorough, friendly and professional man
I have now been tutoring Tara for the last month, Tara is keen to learn and progress - a great attitude!
From Dominic
Peter, is professional and prompt when visiting our home to support my son with his GCSE Maths. After talking with me, looking at School grades and asking my son about his maths abilities, Peter showed a firm grasp of the subject. He was able to explain the way that schools teach maths and the examination process. Peter has a clear understanding of the support my son needs, providing appropriate resources to help him improve his grade. My son remains motivated and is happy to do the extra work.
Thank you very much for taking the time to give feedback. I am glad to be of help!
