Simon was very responsive from first contact, quick to arrange a suitable day/time. Very helpful in explaining how tuition works and the plan for my son's tutoring for both Maths and Science. They have had a few sessions now and I am confident my son will achieve the grades he needs with Simon's help.
From Brad
Simon was very helpful and flexible in our initial discussions and our daughter is already taking away a lot of benefit from his tutoring… We expect this will give her a very strong foundation to build from over the next two years doing her A levels…
Kseniya is a very enthusiastic pupil and isn't afraid to ask questions if she's uncertain of something. Overall, I am very impressed and pleased with her attitude and application to her learning. She is a promising student and I am anticipating that her A levels will all culminate with the grades she's seeking.
From Alyson
After arranging lessons on Wednesday evenings Simon just did not turn up and without any explanation. After chasing him he said he could not find the house but also now could he change the day to Saturday because it did not fit in with his timetable. We cannot change to that day and I booked the lesson in good faith for Wednesday. Find the whole experience very disappointing.
I offered Alyson a prompt and truthful explanation after experiencing difficulty finding her address. I made a genuine mistake with my timetable and immediately attempted to rectify the situation by offering Alyson another time slot. These comments are therefore a distortion of the truth and completely unjustified. My reputation has subsequently been potentially tarnished in an iniquitous manner through a genuine misunderstanding.
From Maria
Simon is a very pleasant and patient tutor despite having had to teach a reluctant student in Maths.
After weeks of attempting to improve my daughter to engage positively and commit to improving her learning, we decided to cease the tuition but it was not for the lack trying on Simon's side. I want to take this opportunity to thank him for all his efforts.
I would recommend Simon to any one who seeks a patient, professional and mild-mannered tutor.
From Zoe
Simon is currently tutoring my son in A level Maths and we are very pleased with his assistance so far. He is very professional and responds to any emails or messages promptly. He is very flexible and has been good about working around my sons other commitments. Most importantly, my son feels that Simon is approachable and takes the time to listen to him so that the tutoring can be tailored to address the areas he most needs. He has worked with him to make a learning plan and we will continue Simons tutoring up to A level exams as we are sure this extra support will be vital in helping attaining the best possible grade.
From Andrea
My daughter is finding the lessons most helpful and will be continuing with Simon throughout her A level
From Helen
Simon responded very promptly to my initial contact and has started to provide tutoring for my son. He has quickly gained my son's confidence and has been flexible about travelling to our home or tutoring from his home.
From Daniel
Really pleased with the tuition that Daniel received. You explained it well and made the maths enjoyable. Will let you know how he got on when he gets his results. Thanks again.
From Bill
Simon has a very professional approach, arrives on time and gets straight down to it, he is very patient and understanding to our sons needs and is genuinely concerned for his future learning. our son has felt at ease with Simon and his way of teaching since the start. We would'nt hesitate in recommending Simon to anyone that needed help in furthering there knowledge of Maths.
Bill's son Rhys is a very polite and courteous individual and a real pleasure to teach. He is aware that he has challenging times ahead with regard to achieving his grade but he doesn't allow this to deter him in any way. Rhys's parents take his education very seriously, as I do and we are all working hard together to ensure Rhys achieves the required level. I find Rhys easy to communicate with and I believe we have built up a special connection of mutual trust and respect. Rhys is very attentive during each session and always asks questions whenever he's unsure. I very much look forward to tutoring him in the forthcoming term and assisting him through to completion of his mathematics learning program.
From Tom
Working out really well. Simon is punctual, reliable, prepared, organised and his lessons are well structured to my sons curriculum.
Jack is a very bright, perceptive individual with an excellent attitude towards learning. He applies himself very well and is well prepared for his forthcoming exams.
