Rowan's Feedback

Rowan tutored my daughter in GCSE Maths for 2 years and a bit of German just before her exams. He was creative with his approach, dependable and adapted his teaching to suit her learning style. Rowan provided excellent support for my daughter by keeping things calm and stress free. He kept me informed as a parent, I definitely recommend him. Thank you Rowan, we will miss you!

Rowan worked with my son who was in year 8 for a year and he has been absolutely great. We had recently moved to the UK at that time and my son was struggling with the UK math curriculum. Rowan took him step by step through the lessons at a pace which suited his ability, he was patient, supportive and fun to work with. Within few months of starting his lessons he was moved to the second set which greatly boosted his confidence.

I booked Rowan this year to help my two other children in Math. Can't recommend him enough!

Rowan tutored my 2 sons for GCSE and IB Higher Level maths. They really enjoyed their sessions with him and he was very through in his approach and teaching at both levels and definitely inspired mathematical confidence - enabling both to achieve the top grade in their respective exams (GCSE Grade 9, & IB HL grade 7) . I would highly recommend Rowan to other students.

Rowan is a great teacher who related well to my teenage son, Owen. Rowan was encouraging and boosted Owen’s confidence, resulting in his passing the GCSE maths test with a very good mark.
Rowan managed to fit us in at short notice and was very accommodating to Owen’s needs.
In short I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rowan to anyone needing help with maths.

Rowan has been fantastic in helping my year 11 son through his maths gcse. We have just got his result and know that Rowan has been a big part in getting him there. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend him!

Rowan tutored my son for A-level Maths and Further Maths. My son enjoyed his sessions and was benefitted greatly from them. My son achieved A* in Maths and A in Further Maths in his A-level final exams. Thanks to Rowan for his help and support.

Rowan began tutoring my son in Maths during the 2nd term of Year 12. My son was struggling with the A level course & the jump from GCSE to A level. Rowan went through each topic in detail to reinforce my son’s knowledge before moving onto more complex topics. My son was always full of enthusiasm after the sessions with Rowan because the sessions moved at his pace. Rowan broke down complicated topics in an understandable way. My son went from a U in the middle of Year 12 to a B in the final exams. I can’t recommend Rowan enough, he is a subject expert & a thoroughly professional tutor.

Rowan is a very good maths tutor who is very well rounded, as he can teach all 3 elements of the A level Specification, Pure, Statistics and mechanics. He has many different tricks and methods of teaching, does not get annoyed or frustrated when you ask him to go through it a couple of times.

Thank you so much Rowan!!

My son was struggling with Maths A level during the lockdown period of online lessons, I found Rowan on First Tutors and my son started to have one to one sessions with him. There was a great rapport and my son found his teaching style suited him well and helped him make sense of the topics he was struggling with. Rowan is a great teacher and would thoroughly recommend him.

Rowan is an amazing teacher! As a student that was constantly confused by my teachers' explanations and falling behind classmates, Rowan was able to bridge the gap and help me understand complicated topics. Rowan's explanations were crystal clear and he ensured that I fully understood the Maths instead of trying to memorise it.

This was especially useful when it came to answering really difficult textbook questions and exam questions. He was able to strip a question down to its bare bones and really explain what it was asking me to do.

His wealth of knowledge is really important since he can stretch you as a student and make you understand the deeper side of the Maths of and its applications to the real world.

Online learning was not a problem whatsoever, and I personally feel that the online whiteboard added more to the lessons since I was able to store notes in one place, organise the material effortlessly, and add diagrams and exam questions with ease.

All in all, Rowan is a stellar tutor that stretched me and helped me get an A* in Maths and I would definitely recommend him.

Rowan worked online with my son, which worked very well for this subject. It was convenient, especially during the period leading up to exams. Rowan was very organised. He quickly identified the areas in which my son needed more help and was able to 'plug the gaps' successfully. My son achieved his target grade at GCSE despite the significant disruption to his schooling due to covid, and he was very pleased.

Rowan saw my 19 year old son through the statistics and some pure elements of the Edexcel A level Maths as a private candidate. I am delighted with the results my son achieved and Rowan went above and beyond to help steer our way through a difficult year. Rowan was very helpful in addressing my son's special educational needs and played a leading role in coordinating with the examining centre during Covid disruptions.

After having several months of lessons with Rowan, I must say he is friendly, organised and able to explain clearly. My daughter feels much more confident with Maths now.

Rowan recently gave me additional tutoring in A Level maths.
The learning was remote due to lockdown however this wasn’t a problem as Rowan used an interactive whiteboard which both he and I could write on.
All of the mathematical functions were available on a drop down menu within the whiteboard software.
Additional work was set to be completed between lessons to help identify any problem areas, and these were covered the following week.
Rowan’s lessons have been invaluable to me in getting to grips with parts of the maths syllabus which I was struggling with.
I would definitely recommend Rowan to anyone needing a private tutor.

Rowan has connected with and engaged a mathematical/science focused GCSE pupil who had struggled with German through school. Rowan identified an approach that made German 'make sense' for someone not strong in languages and the results have been impressive. After only a handful of lessons so far my son now feels he 'gets' German on a whole new level and feedback from Rowan is that he is making impressive progress. The lessons are interactive and engaging, using different formats through the course of each lesson. Heartfelt thanks to Rowan. We very much recommend his tutoring services.

Rowan is preparing my son for his Maths GCSE exams. He is an excellent and reliable tutor who has built up a great rapport with my son and uses the most effective whiteboard online teaching methods. I would highly recommend Rowan. My son is progressing well and feels more confident with his Maths since learning with him.

Rowan has quickly established a good working relationship with our daughter (GCSE Year) around improving confidence and marks in maths. With Rowan, she reports that for the first time she feels able to understand the topics. Surprisingly after a few sessions she reported she was now considering maths A level. We particularly admire that Rowan has worked with our daughter in a professional and results-oriented way to tackle her specific needs. We're continuing and doing so very happily!

We have made initial contact with Rowan and he has been extremely generous with the rate for the first lesson. He is also very knowledge about exam procedure and we believe the lessons will prove to be well organised and student specific.
Will update after some lessons - so far very good service.
Thank you Rowan

Rowan help me with a couple of university modules (probability modelling, and statistical inference and modelling) I had failed on first attempt. I've now received the results back for my resits and they were a lot better. Rowan is an excellent tutor, He's patient, organised, intelligent, and was able to explain the content in multiple ways if I didn't understand it the first time which was very helpful. I would definitely recommend him.

Rowan has been helping me with my A level topics. I really like working with him.

Rowan is a very patient and organised teacher. My daughter really enjoys his lessons and he knew how to help her prepare for her German GCSE very quickly in the first lesson. He not only helps her for the exam, but also broadens her knowledge of German in general. Would highly recommend Rowan!

Awesome Tutor.
Highly recommended

My son is enjoying the lessons and progressing well.

Rowan is a great teacher, very interactive, and gives support throughout the session. He set homework which helps to develop on topics covered during the lesson. After a couple of lessons itself, my daughter believes the lessons are helping to fill the gaps and she can now answer exam questions more confidently.

Rowan is very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. My son always looks forward to his session with him He brings out the best in his clients. In fact, every penny you pay worths having him.

I would strongly recommend him

Rowan is an excellent tutor, he has a knack for explaining complex mathematical concepts in a simple and effective manner. He has allowed me the flexibility to pursue what interests me whilst also providing a well thought out framework to guide the sessions, i would thoroughly recommend Rowan

Was quick to respond to my enquiry and my child is happy with the German language tutoring she is receiving.

Very friendly and open to discuss Gene's progress. Flexible with timings of sessions if there are issues with the time. Gene really gets on well with Rowan and says that he is noticing a difference already and he's only had a few sessions. Very happy with Rowan overall and would recommend him to anyone.

Very reliable and an amazing Tutor. Is always on time and I am never left feeling like I didn’t learn anything. Highly recommend.

Rowan taught my son for 6 months and got him up to speed after he has missed school fro a year. He was exceptionally patient with my son and was constantly pushing and motivating him to do better.
Rowan made sure that my sons foundation was solid and that each area in Maths were understood properly.
My son really enjoyed his sessions.
Would highly recommend him for Maths tutions

Rowan provides weekly maths tuition for my 14-year-old daughter. His tuition has been brilliant in every way; he is incredibly patient and inclusive, makes learning fun and topics that are harder to understand, understandable. My daughter looks forward to her sessions with Rowan, tries her hardest within sessions and is very happy afterwards. We could not rate Rowan more highly.

Very nice person and very reliable.

Rowan has been tutoring my daughter in maths (year 4) since January. She’s improved greatly in both confidence and ability, and is getting great results at school. Rowan is so enthusiastic about the subject and relates very well to my daughter, who really enjoys the sessions!
I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Rowan to anyone looking to improve their maths skills.

Rowan is an excellent tutor who is makes learning maths enjoyable.

Rowan has been teaching my 9 year old daughter for a little over a month and has been absolutely amazing. He is a good tutor very professional and his kindness and patience has improved my daughters learning. Rowan simplifies math concepts very well and my daughter is now confident in solving the problems on her own. I would definitely recommend Rowan as a tutor.

Rowan is a fantastic teacher and exceptionally helpful. I have had him as a German tutor for roughly the last four months and he is always on time, fully equipped, and he always has a lesson planned which I get homework for in advance. Rowan is brilliant because he lets me go at a speed I am comfortable with and works around my priorities and interests, while at the same time encouraging me and ensuring I always leave our lessons feeling more confident and with significantly more knowledge about the language than I had at the start of the lesson. I also appreciate that Rowan travels to meet me at a local coffee shop as it makes my life much easier. Overall he has a fantastic understanding of the German language, is very accommodating and helpful when working around my schedule, sets a good example by being on time and fully prepared, charges a reasonable price for his lessons, takes my priorities and preferences into account when planning lessons, and is also very easy to get along with and talk to comfortably, which makes it much easier to learn. So far I have had a fantastic experience with him and I strongly recommend him as a tutor.

I would recommend Rowan to any parent looking for tuition. He is reliable and very easy to get along with which is very important if your child is to trust & respond to tutoring. I will have no hesitation in using Rowan again come exam time.

We have had great communication with Rowan in terms of organising sessions. He has been very helpful in changing times of the sessions to suit my daughter. Rowan has worked well with my daughter, adapting lessons to suit her needs. She feels the sessions are very helpful in consolidating her understanding of different areas of maths. Hopefully, with the help of Rowan, she will become more confident. We have been very pleased so far with Rowan's help.
