Simon is an excellent tutor. He puts things in plain English and managed to engage my daughter who had all but given up on her geography A’level. My daughter was getting D’s and within a few months managed to get a B in her final exams. Thank you Simon.
Thank you. She was a delight
From Tanya
Simon provided tutoring for geography for my son's GCSEG and daughter's (A-level). Both achieved their desired grades and each thoroughly enjoyed their sessions with Simon.
Simon made the subject interesting but also helped with structure and exam technique which was essential to their success.
We will continue our sessions this year with Simon for A-level for my son!
Thank you. It was a pleasure to help such motivated and conscientious students.
From Emmanuel
Simon was an excellent Geography tutor who had the perfect balance of humour and a serious attitude which really motivated and helped me. With the aid of Simon, I was able to get a 9 in GCSE and he has inspired me to continue it to A-Level.
Thank you but it all starts again now I’m afraid
From Amanda
You know you always remember the teachers who made a real difference when you were at school - for our son, this is Simon. Hands down Simon has been the best tutor we have ever worked with. Our son did not engage at all in lower 6th (spent most of his time racing his bike). He failed lower 6th and we had to persuade the college to allow him to continue. He had 9 months to take his A levels and start from scratch. He opted to take 2 A levels, one of which was Geography. He started working with Simon in September 2023 and went from a grade U to a very high C (just missed a B). I didn't believe any tutor could get our son to this point in just 9 months. Simon was confident from the start and we left him to it. He has so much experience working with students who are struggling (our son is dyslexic and has no confidence). Simon's passion for the subject made the sessions so interesting that our son wanted more and more lessons. By the time we got to April, our son was flying and was working more independently and confident answering questions to gain marks. If we could find a Simon for other subjects for our daughter, we would be delighted. There aren't many Simons around. Just brilliant for our son in every way.
You are too kind. I hardly recognise myself from your description It’s been a pleasure and I hohos the engineering eventually leads him into F1 and free tickets for me.
From Zak
Simon really helped me in a very short space of time to improve my grade in Geography from a predicted grade of C/D to a B. I would highly recommend Simon for tutoring Geography. I am sure if I had found Simon from the start of my A levels I would have achieved a grade A or above.
Thank you and well done again.
From Jo
My daughter is having intense tuition prior to her AL level Geography. She is very impressed with Simon.He has given her confidence and his enthusiasm for the subject as well as vast knowledge has rubbed off. He supplies her with many additional resources . Fully recommend. Simon is very organised and his understanding of the exam process from the viewpoint of an examiner is worth the money!
UPDATE My daughter got a B (predicted C) thanks to Simon who also gave her confidence in her other subjects. Thoroughly recommend
Great news
From Kerry
Quick response and excellent teaching. Simon tutored my son before his GCE and my son greatly enjoyed the sessions. Simon gave him a huge amount of confidence, lots of very useful and essential guidance for his exam, and my son enjoyed Simon’s manner and way of teaching, finding him professional, funny and encouraging. The extra information that Simon provided via email was brilliant. I would totally 100% recommend Simon to anyone. Thank you Simon!
Thank you. We just keep everything crossed now for august
From Suzanne
My Y13 son found Simon’s lessons invaluable and boosted his confidence. He found Simon gave very helpful advice on exam technique, was an excellent teacher and generally a funny & nice guy. Would highly recommend.
Thank you for the kind comments.
From Justine
The feedback from my son is very positive. Simon taught Connor Geography A level for 2 months leading up to the exams. In that short period, he felt he had learned a great deal. Simon had plenty of exam tips and really useful resources. Connor particularly enjoyed the sessions where they came up with opposing arguments, great practice for the big marker questions.
From a parent’s point of view, I did listen to some sessions and Simon was positive and enthusiastic. After each session I could see Connor’s confidence growing. It’s June so we don’t know his results yet, but I’m sure there will be a vast improvement following Simon’s help. If you can afford to pay for tutoring, I would recommend Simon.
Thank you. It’s been a pleasure and everything is now crossed.
From Paul
Simon was reliable and also built a good rapport with my daughter who was struggling with her confidence. She has dyslexia and he was able to support her flexibly to allow her to learn in a way she could understand. Whatever her eventual A level results will be, we are grateful for his help over the past 2 years.
Thank you. Alice really grew in confidence and really put in a shift. Fingers crossed now for august.
From Helen
Simon has been helping my son with his A level Geography over the last 3 months of lower 6. Ollie has found his help amazing and really enjoys his lessons. The topics he struggled with Simon has been able to help Ollie not only grasp the basics but excel. Started the year on a C and just done his end of year mocks and on an A. Huge thank you Simon.
He didn’t tell me he got an A. Superb news though but I’ll be having words !!! Thank you for the positive comments
From Karen
Simon is a very professional tutor. He takes the time to understand the current level of knowledge of the subject and then adapts his lessons to ensure they are engaging and informative. Our 17 year old son says he would higly recommend Simon to anyone who needs to improve their Geography A level grade or focus on specific subjects where they need a more in depth understanding. Simon also supported him with exam technique.
Thank you. Remember he’s the one who does all the hard work. He’s a delight.
From Katherine
I couldn’t recommend Simon highly enough. My son was looking for some help with studying for his GCSE Geography and when I spoke to Simon on the phone I could tell straight away that he would be perfect. He is enthusiastic, engaged and clearly has a lot of experience as well as love for the subject. My son looked forward to his weekly sessions and we both felt reassured that Simon knew the syllabus and clearly knew exactly what to cover and when to get William in the right place in time for the exams. He filled William with the confidence he needed at the right time and I feel that with Simon’s help William has had the best possible chance of success on his exams. Thank you!
It was a pleasure - as I said many times he's brilliant. Fingers now crossed for August
From Lydia
Simon has been fantastically helpful for both my A level and GCSE daughters. Both have had missing teachers at school and Simon has made up for all the lost teaching but, more impressively, taught with such a passion that he has reignited their enthusiasm for the subject. They find him readily understandable and are keen to continue with his support and, unusually for them, are asking for more sessions going forward. Highly recommend.
You are too kind - they are both amazing (but you already know that)
From Charlotte
I would highly recommend Simon as a Geography tutor and wish we had discovered him sooner. He helped my son with A level Geography for around 7 months in year 13 and transformed the way he thinks about the subject and his own ability with it - my son says he wishes he'd had Simon as his school teacher in the first place. Simon helped him to see the subject in the detail required, to make the links betweent topics and to understand what exam questions are really asking. Simon is highly experienced , really knowledgeable, enthusiastic and fun. He knows the syllabus inside out and is very tuned in to what different exam boards are looking for. He provided excellent notes, case studies and study materials on a wide variety of topics. I would recommend him without hesitation.
Thank you. It was a privilege working with him. Fingers crossed now for August and academic glory
From Akiko
Thank you very much for providing fantastic support and guidance to my son. I can see his confidence has grown dramatically in short time. We are very grateful.
Thank you Fingers crossed now for august. Have a lovely summer.
From Suzy
We would recommend Simon without hesitation! Simon responded so quickly and professionally to our enquiry and we were up and running with Geography A Level sessions in no time. Our daughter has changed schools and exam boards a few times during secondary school and it became apparent as A Level exams approached that she needed some guidance on plugging those knowledge gaps effectively. Simon is so friendly and is genuinely enthusiastic and caring about his students achieving their best. Simon has amazing subject knowledge and invaluable insights on exam boards and exam techniques and has a wealth and breadth of resources he shares. Our daughter genuinely looks forward to her sessions with Simon, they have built a great rapport, and we have seen her confidence in herself and her abilities soar! Thank you so much Simon for helping her believe she can aim high!
Simon has helped me improve in exam technique and how to utilise my knowledge to get into the higher grade brackets. Simon has built my confidence in Geography and really encouraged me to believe in myself. I will forever have “So what? So what”? in my head! Very grateful for all the tips and tricks and making every session enjoyable. For my exam results I feel a lot more hopeful in achieving my best. Thanks Simon :)
Wow you are too kind. Smash it tomorrow and good luck in the rest of your life.
From Thomas
Great motivator and wastes little time. Provides many good resources.
You spoil me with your detailed analysis-love the no time wasted comment (I try!!!)
From Steve
Amazing, couldn’t have been any better. Really helped with exam technique and flawless knowledge of the subject.
Thank you for your kind comments Fingers now crossed for august
From Nicole
Mr was absolutely amazing for me. He helped me get from a low B/C in class tests to a high A/A* consistently, teaching me shortcuts for essay and shorter answer questions (which I struggled with a lot initially). He helped me understand essay questions and what they really asked for, whilst the content notes and past papers all put into simple documents really helped with my revision; so i'm no longer (too) scared for my exams. I'd highly recommend Mr , straight forward but still so helpful and gave a very good experience overall. Thank you so much sir, you've saved my grades (quite literally!) :)
Mr !!!! You are such a star Nicole Thank you for your kind comments and let me know in august if it’s London.
From Lucy
Simon has been the absolutely perfect tutor for my son, teaching him the entirety of the OCR A Level syllabus and also guiding him through coursework necessities. As we hoped, he made on-line learning fun (not an easy thing to do) - but is also thorough and totally reliable. He seems to have endless supplies of good humour. We couldn't be more grateful to him and highly recommend him. Thank you, Simon!
You are too kind. Everything is now crossed for results day.
From Katie
Simon is an outstanding and experienced teacher and my daughter finds her A level tutoring enjoyable and helpful. She is building her confidence and I am in no doubt that it is giving her the best opportunity to fulfil her potential in her forthcoming exams. Simon gives practical advice, is enthusiastic and encouraging, and explains things really clearly. We are so glad to have found him!
Thank you so much but remember she is doing all the hard work not me. She’s an absolute delight.
From Alison
Absolutely excellent! My son has learnt a huge amount and Simon has a way of explaining things that clicks in my son’s head. We wanted to focus on exam technique and my son has said that he has improved dramatically in his understanding of how to structure an answer and what examiners are looking for. First rate tutor who has made a big difference already.
Thank you so much but remember he’s the one doing all the hard work. What a star he is.
From Henrieta
Amazing. I can not fault Simon in any way. He is absolutly brilliant, highly professional. I would not hessitate to recommend him.
You are to kind. Thank you
From Glenda
Ben has had 2 sessions with Simon so far in preparation for his Geography A level exams. He has really enjoyed the sessions and found Simon incredibly approachable and a fantastic tutor. I think he will really help Ben to improve his grade this year.Thankyou Simon
Thank you.
From Mair
My son James was struggling and, indeed, not enjoying Geography. After a few sessions with Simon, he actively looks forward to learning and has really grown in confidence - for the first time he feels that he has a good chance of achieving a decent grade in his Geography A Level.
Thank you. Remember he’s the one doing all the hard work.
From Jane
My son has been tutored for GCSE geography by Simon now for several weeks.
My son absolutely loves his lesson with Simon, who is funny chatty and inspiring and so knowledgeable about geography. My sons enthusiasm and confidence is soaring. He looks forward to his online lessons so much and he is now having real success with exam questions thank you so much Simon. We are so glad to have found you
He's a joy… working towards the 9
From Clare
Simon has been an absolutely inspirational tutor to my daughter. From first chat with a student who had lost confidence and was finding A level Geography much trickier than GCSE, Simon hit just the right tone. Over six months from Dec to the exam he developed a rapport, revived her interest and helped things click, whether it was subject knowledge or breaking down exam technique and what an examiner is looking for.
The weekly online sessions worked so well and it also allowed my daughter to ‘own’ her own solution and development.
If like us you were desperate to find one way to support your student, then you can’t do better than making contact with Simon and setting up an initial call. Simon made it really clear that if she didn’t think there was a fit, that was fine and they wouldn’t continue. There was no question of that though. She took a while to speak up I think but after 6 months the girl that went into the exam room felt that she could cope with and adapt to whatever was coming. What else can you ask for? Geography remained her toughest subject, but she achieved all that she hoped for and is on her way to her first choice University.
Simon, sincere thanks. Hiring you has been a great experience.
You are too kind. Happy university now !!
From Jeanette
Simon is genuinely an outstanding tutor. My son had all but written off his A level Geography until Simon inspired him to attain two grades higher than predicted. Would 100% recommend!
Thank you but he did the work
From Clare
We contacted Simon after a disappointing mock result. My daughter’s confidence was destroyed and she had all but given up on the subject. Simon made such a difference, explaining the subject matter in a way she understood and improving her confidence. I’m pleased to report she got the grade she needed for university - despite the changing grade boundaries! My daughter is quite shy and honestly we were worried about how a tutor would work for her, whether she would benefit and whether we could justify the cost but I can honestly say it was worth every penny, and after the very first session our daughter wanted to continue. This is probably the best feedback I can give. Thank you Simon!
It was an absolute delight and thank you
From Julie
Simon began tutoring our son after he received an E for his mocks. He was ready to drop his geography A level and yet after a couple of sessions with Simon, he began to really enjoy the subject again. Our son has dyslexia and struggled with the teaching style that his school teachers used. Simon made learning interesting and engaged him from day one! He managed to get a grade C which we were delighted with. I just wished we’d discovered Simon earlier! I would not hesitate to recommend him.
Thank you
From Allison
If you want your child to be confidently walking into their exams and happily reflecting afterwards, Simon is your person! My child was an absolute mess. School had allowed her to plod along and every exam trial was disastrous, not to mention coursework…… however weekly tuition with Simon gave her the confidence to walk into her exams ready and happy with what she gave. It’s likely she’ll succeed 2 grades higher than expected in her alevels but my focus is she went into and came out of exams confidently and with her mental health in tack purely because Simon took the time to break it down and make it make sense.
You are too kind Everything is now crossed for August.
From Noel
Don’t look any further for an exceptional & talented A level tutor. We joined the tutor lottery last year and narrowed it down to Simon and one other. Boy did we luck out. Simon is extremely knowledgeable and knew how to boost the confidence of our daughter. From a parent’s perspective we couldn’t be happier but my daughter has excelled to the surprise of her school. She has gone from a C prediction to a probable A. He worked tirelessly with her and gave us regular updates. I will update this review in August. Thank you Simon.
From Sarah
Simon is a great A level Geography tutor. He has helped Izzy with all aspects of the course along with great resources. He was able to improve her confidence in writing twenty mark essays which will help in other aspects of her education. Definitely recommend!
Thank you. Fingers crossed now for August.
From John
Simon has been an excellent tutor for my daughter. Lifted her confidence enormously prior to the exam. He made himself available at short notice for both Skype and face to face tuition.
From Amelia
Simon has been helping Finn in the run up to his A levels. He is brilliant. Finn loves his sessions and is finding the sessions so helpful. Simon has a really engaging manner and is obviously passionate about his subject and getting the best out of his students. Finn is finding the one on one interaction to be really useful and is also finding Simon's experience/knowledge as an examiner really helpful - the technique aspects of the exam are so important and Simon has been really excellent at teaching the tricks of the trade to Finn. Simon is also great because he treats Finn as an autonomous individual and encourages him to be an independent learner. Finding Simon has been so positive for Finn and we would wholeheartedly recommend him. Simon is brilliant.
Update! Finn has now finished his A level geography. No matter what the result Simon has put Finn in the best possible position to reach his full potential. Not only that but Simon has made the whole experience enjoyable and positive. We couldn't have asked for any more. Thank you.
He’s the star remember
From Helen
My son was really struggling to get his head around A’level geography - not really enjoying it and starting to worry about the outcomes. He has worked with Simon for around 18 months/ 2 years and what a transformation. My son really responded to Simon’s personality and teaching methods. I would listen in and could hear Simon really make Josh think on his feet rather than just be spoon fed. He gave lots of positive feedback and exam prep was a really important part of the last few mo the which filled Josh with confidence. Always reliable, easy to get hold of, very sensible - would very highly recommend Simon - don’t have a bad word to say!
Thank you so much Fingers crossed for the summer.
From Alison
We agree with all the other feedback. Simon has been an excellent tutor. My son has found him patient, helpful and really enjoyed the sessions. His confidence in his own ability has grown along the way thanks to the way the sessions are delivered and planned. Couldn't ask for more. Thank you
Thank you. Fingers now crossed for August
From Amy
From Vinita
EXCELLENT TUTOR- Could not recommend Simon enough- v focussed on the correct content, up to date on A level marking system and content, amazing teacher, has completely re motivated my daughter about Geography - experienced, encouraging and fun- really excellent HIGHLY RECCOMMEND
You spoil me. They are the ones doing all the work and are delightful
From Yuge
A class tutor. Professional and very patient
Thank you
From Dawn
From JANE
My son has found Simon excellent for his Geography A level preparation. He has a wealth of experience and knowledge that he breaks down and streamlines to make it accessible and understandable for my son. He demystifies the topic and shows the way forward for scoring maximum marks in the exams. I would highly recommend him.
Thank you for the kind comments
From Hamza
Mr. Simon is an excellent tutor. Very professional, knowledgeable and the prefect balance between a proper educator, while also keeping it fun and interesting. We could not be happier and I am so grateful for him and this site. It really saved us
Thank you.
From Sue
Simon started to help our son in about December of Y13, when his predicted A level geography grade was very low. In just 6 months, Simon helped to increase his confidence, reignite his interest in the subject, support him in many areas where he had gaps in subject knowledge, structure revision and support him generally across the subject. The resulting B grade was so much better than originally expected! We would definitely recommend Simon as an A-level tutor.
Thank you and thrilled with the correct music grade. He’s a top man
From Jacob
I completely recommend Simon as a tutor. My grade went up from E to a final pass grade of B. This is because Simon explained the necessary terminology and vocabulary that is needed for getting high grades in essay questions. This stopped me from 'falling down rabbit holes' (a phrase which Simon uses to support you kindly when making mistakes). He provided me with lots of free resources including exam questions and mark schemes. Simon worked with me weekly for a term and a half and in this time my grades improved significantly. He is not a magician - he just has a very clever way of working with individuals to plug the gaps in their knowledge and develop necessary exam techniques to gain maximum marks. These skills were very useful with my other A level subjects. I have no doubt that I would have achieved an A grade if I had been working with Simon a little bit longer. Hire Simon… he will make a huge difference to your grades!
Thank you so much. I hardly recognise myself Good luck with everything you do in the future.
From Melissa
Simon went above and beyond in helping my son with his A’level Geography. I cannot speak highly enough of him. My son also said that he was the best teacher he had ever had. Simon was particularly good at helping my son understand the mark schemes for the essay questions, a skill that he was able to transfer to his other subjects too. Simon also provided notes on the different topics to help with revision and provided guidance for the project that was required for the A’level. My son was predicted a C grade but achieved a B grade - which would have been an A had it not been for his school teacher-assigned project grade which pulled down his overall mark. I am sure that if we had started with Simon in Year 12 my son would have achieved an A.
Thank you and enjoy university
From Katie
What can we say about Simon? He was the perfect tutor! Our daughter was left without a geography teacher in her school just a few months before her A Level exams. Simon came to the rescue! He connected so easily with our slightly shy daughter, had an exceptional knowledge of the course, is an experienced examiner, was fun, kind and brilliantly effective! Today, we found out that our daughter achieved an A* in her Geography! Thank you Simon! Please choose Simon as a tutor for your child - you won’t be disappointed at all! He’s a smashing chap and is brilliantly reassuring and capable. We couldn’t recommend him more highly.
Thank you so much. I don’t recognise myself from your kind comments
From Clare
Simon was prompt to contact us and we made a plan for tuition. My son is very happy to attend these onlines sessions and is finding them useful. We are very pleased with Simon.
Thank you.
From Fiona
Simon is an amazing tutor and my son is learning lots. I’d recommend him as reliable and very knowledgeable.v
Thank you
From Huw
Simon has provided excellent weekly tutoring for my son in his Geography A level studies this year (2022). My son was already quite strong at Geography and has an offer to study it at University. He was looking for tutoring help to focus on certain key areas. Simon has provided this help excellently and always provided it an enthusiastic way to make the lessons fun and enjoyable. Thank you!
Thank you. It’s been a pleasure.
From Anastassia
Within 4 months of tutoring, Simon has significantly improved my son's confidence and understanding of the Geography coursework and exam requirements. Over the last few years, we hired a number of tutors in various subjects and my son said Simon is the best tutor by far! THANK YOU very much for your work, Simon!
Thank you.
From Nicola
Simon has been teaching my son for several months, and they have built up a strong rapport. The classes have been clear and focused, and Simon has provided a considerable range of resources. Simon has helped my son to identify important information when answering exam questions. We will miss our weekly appointment with Simon.
Thank you. He’s been a delight
From Rebecca
With only a few weeks to go before GCSEs Simon has been very kind in finding a slot for my son. He is an excellent tutor, and his sessions are motivating and inspiring. He has already had a huge impact on my son's learning and understanding. Thank you.
Thank you. Remember he is the one doing the real hard work.
From Sara
From Helen
Simon is fantastic, pure and simple. He is enthusiastic to help and patient in understanding where my son needed most help.
He is very supportive in his attitude. Not only helping build confidence but solidifying strategy and building contextual knowledge.
My son achieved a grade 9 at GCSE all thanks to Simon!
Thank you
From Matthew
He has helped me with my exam questions greatly. I struggled to get past around half marks and his guidance has helped me get past that mark region.
I have now finished my "A" Levels and I am due to start an economics degree at Loughborough university. I gained an A in geography, which with the help of Simon, I was hopeful I would have achieved, without the covid intervention. Without the help of Simon this would most likely have been a high C mark, low B. Without doubt the best tutor I had throughout my 2 years. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
Wow. Thank you for this. Enjoy university and have a great life
From Binder
My son has recently started taking Geography lessons from Simon. Simon's comprehensive and intimate knowledge of exam technique is only matched by his enthusiastic love of teaching which shines through in all his lessons. My son looks forward to his lessons every week and says that Simon is the best geography teacher he's had in a long time.
Thank you for the very kind feedback
From Michelle
From Holly
Simon had a very understanding approach to tutoring, he related really well to Holly and discovered her needs in the first tutor session. He adapted his teaching style and was exemplary at transferring knowledge and exam questioning techniques. He connected with Holly on her level, he questioned, listened and had an enthusiastic, straight to the point style. I would thoroughly recommend Simon as a tutor. Simon - you’re the full nine yards!
Thank you so much
From Manuela
We highly recommend Simon. He has been tutoring my son A-level geography for resits after the exams were cancelled last year and my son didn't get the teacher-assessed grades he needed, which meant his confidence was very low. Simon is an excellent teacher of the syllabus content and, equally importantly, has in-depth and invaluable exam-board knowledge and prepares the student in good exam techniques, which has been especially important for my son as he missed out on that because of last year's school closure in March. Consequently my son's confidence has grown, and he is in a much better position to get the grade he needs in his assessments this month. Simon has also been incredibly supportive, and in my son's words, 'gives 110%'. We are so grateful for all his expertise, help and encouragement, and wish we had found him earlier!
Thank you so much for the very kind comments. It’s been my pleasure
From Jacky
I am very happy to learn geography with Simon . He is a very nice teacher.
Thank you
From Rachel
Simon has been brilliant, he is really helping my son with exam technique and I wish I had done this months ago.
Thank you
From Farheen
Excellent tutor
Thank you for the kind comments
From Carole
Amazing A-level tutor! Great depth of knowledge in his subject wrapped up in infectious enthusiasm - a truly winning combination! Simon quickly identified what my son needed from their interactions and they are making great progress working together. I can now see a new confidence emerging which is just awesome to see. Thank you Simon for all you are doing :)
Wow… now that is praise. Thank you… but remember I’m not doing the real hard work, Justin is.
From Smita
Simon is a sincere teacher.My son enjoys his lessons.
Thank you
From Debbie
Simon was the perfect choice and has really helped my daughter. Professional, efficient and took time to iron out the issues.
Thank you. It was my pleasure.
From Mark
Brilliant tutor!! Really clear at explaining new and complicated concepts. Would definitely recommend!!
Thank you
From Pauline
Great communication and working well with Edward. Offering lots of support
From Gulshan
Excellent tutor!! Would definitely recommend. Simon did a fantastic job in a very short period of time for my son as he needed some last minute tutoring before his GCSE Geography exam.He was very accommodating in terms of his time schedule.Overall a very knowledgeable and inspirational teacher who was able to motivate my son to work harder and achieve his best in the given circumstances . Lucky to have worked with him.
Thank you for the very kind comments. It's fingers crossed time now
From Stephen
Simon is providing a top quality, great value and friendly service for me. Highly recommended indeed.
Thank you
From Irralee
My daughter only used Simon for a short time before the exams were all cancelled due to Corona, but she thought he was an excellent tutor and even in the few lessons she had, he transformed her approach to Geography A level essay writing. Thanks Simon.
My pleasure. A disappointing end after such a marked improvement
From Des
I have no hesitation in recommending Simon, his knowledge of the subject and examination board protocols is excellent and so my son got a mixture of both knowledge and exam technique. Added to that Alex found him engaging and enjoyed his teaching style and looked forward to the weekly tutoring sessions. I couldn’t have asked for anymore than that.
Thank you. Alex was a joy and made massive improvements
From Chris
Simon has helped my daughter with her A level Geography and is an excellent tutor. I would recommend him without hesitation. He has helped her tremendously and has worked extremely hard to help enable her to succeed.
Thank you.
From Petrina
Simon has been fantastic for my daughter. Really understood where her weakness lay and made it so simple for her to improve her technique. Her confidence has really grown. Loads of excellent resources and always ready to help. Thanks very much.
From Sunita
Simon tutored my daughter for many months now and I think he is an outstanding teacher.His subject knowledge is outstanding, his teaching style is great, he understands students requirements and weakness very well hence his teaching style is specifically targeted at the needs of the student.His examination experience is second to none.He provides lots of practice material. His support helped my daughter to boost her grades, she is now a deserving grade 9 candidate in her gcses.
Thank you for your very kind comments but remember she did ALL the real work.
From Julia
An absolutely five-star tutor. Simon has improved my daughter's geography knowledge and been a great mentor and support to her for the last few months. Would recommend without a shadow of a doubt. Thank you!
thank you… such a frustrating end that she couldn't show off.
From Eve
Dear Simon , My Son and I have been trying to call you **Telephone Number Removed** but it's been impossible to get through. Could you please call me back **Telephone Number Removed** or on the phone number we texted you from in the morning. If your availability changed, could you let us know as well so that we can get a refund for purchasing your details. Please let my son know in case you are still interested? Thank you, Eve.
From Clare
Not only is Simon the best geography teacher I've ever had but his attitude to learning is one of the best I've encountered overall.
Thanks to his advice from an examiner's perspective and extensive resources, I was able to achieve my target grade of a 9- something I didn't believe would be possible given difficult personal circumstances.
If you are seeking a balance of expert knowledge presented in an accessible and engaging way- look no further.
As for A-level geography: I'll be back!
Thank you so much It was my pleasure and as I always said… you were a star and you were always getting a 9
From Suzanne
Simon was very helpful and the information shared was excellent. My daughter is looking forward to having further tuition from Simon in her final year of A Levels.
From Gaetanina
Simon was a great help to my daughter. He gave her very useful resources for every topic, that included past exam questions from different exam boards. Also, he gave her very useful feedback when it came to marking past papers. I highly recommend him
Thanks Fingers crossed now for August
From Prudence
Fantastic tutor - my girls really enjoyed have Simon teach them for GCSE. Super helpful - his enthusiasm for the subject clearly shows. Highly recommended! Thanks for everything Simon.
My pleasure… the girls are great and will fly in the exams
From Joanna
Great Tutor. My son is very happy. Simon explains things so well. I think it really helps that he is an examiner as well and a teacher. Would highly recommend Simon.
Thank you for your kind comments but it’s Will who is doing all the hard work
From Sarbjit
The tutor we had was fabulous and I really wanted to recommend him to others. He was very knowledgeable, had fab resources and didn't take advantage of the situation i.e. didn't recommend more lessons than were needed. My son achieved an A* in Geography with Simon's help.
Thank you…
From Mike
Excellent first session. Professional, friendly and focussed. My son’s confidence has already lifted!
Thankyou He did the work though not me We WILL get the A
From Lena
Simon was definately my man in terms of achieving those high marks and top grades! He helped me significantly to get an A grade in Geography which included 100% in one paper! I was impressed by his teaching and revision methods including the extra material that was provided courtesy of Publications!
You are too kind and it was my pleasure Enjoy uni
From Galib
A very friendly tutor who helped me with A level geography even after I changed specification. Provided booklets that helped me greatly with my studies and provided excellent tuition. Would recommend 100%
Thank you Don’t forget to text me on results day
From Giovanna
From Caroline
Our daughter has found your tuition and support fantastic. Your first few sessions have really built her confidence and the exam techniques you have also taught, she has been able to transfer to other subjects. There is no additional pressure for her either - she can do as much or as little as she likes - no pressure to complete a lot of additional work on top of what they are already set at school. You are a fantastic support and great at building student confidence. Thank you.
Thank you for the kind comments but she is Sarah is the one doing all the hard work and she is starting to fly
From Cath
I can highly recommend Simon, my son failed his as level geography last year but with Simon's help and my sons hard work he gained a c in his retake, Simon is professional, very well organised, communicates well and is very helpful in teaching exam techniques and all done with lots of enthusiasm for the subject even when the lesson has ended and he's walking out the front door!
Thank you for your kind comments. It was pleasing to see Jamie grow in confidence and narrowly miss out on a B.
From Adele
Excellent tutor, covered all areas of the subject, and came with loads of additional information, and has made all the difference.
thanks
Thank you for the kind comments
From Sukhbir
Simon helped by daughter with A-Level Geography for 3 months leading up to the exams. I found Simon to be friendly ,professional and very well organised. Most importantly my daughter found the sessions very useful, and I could see she was much more confident going into her exams. Though we don't have the results yet, I have no hesitation in recommending Simon, clearly a thoroughly talented teacher.
Jas has done all the work and will do brilliant at University. Thank you for the kind comments.
From Ruth
Simon went to great lengths to help my daughter secure her A in Geography GCSE after getting a D in her mock exam! He provided a huge amount of extra resources and his own time and I would highly recommend him… - She likes Geography now!
Thank you so much for the nice comments, but Lyd did the work.
From Eamonn
Simon has worked with my Daughter for the past 7 to 8 months. He has been superb and professional. Very punctual, reliable and provided excellent guidance and support for her Geography A Level studies. Particularly helpful in helping her to draw out and structure the information she needed to provide to answer each exam question. We thoroughly recommend Simon to any student needing support in this subject area.
From Yasmin
Simon is an amazing Geography teacher! He has excellent in depth knowledge about the subject and is also familiar with exam techniques and the exam board. I would highly recommend him.
Thank you so much.

Thank you for your very kind comments
From Amy
I wish to thank you, Simon, for your excellent assistance with my A Level Geography. Your help meant that I was thoroughly prepared for my exam. I felt far more confident going into the exam, especially when recalling all the very useful hints and tips in approaching the questions. Your professional, friendly tutoring was entirely what I needed. I can't thank you enough and would recommend your services to others without question. I am now looking forward to my results in August.
From Pamela
high quality teaching, I'm impressed with how well motivated Simon has made my son. He given my son a confidence and eagerness to learn that was somewhat lacking previously. good learning resources. Approachable and professional. thank you.
From Sarah
Hi, Simon has been very helpful so far but I'm just checking that I have the correct email address? Please could you confirm it for me? Thanks.
From Brewer
Mr was known by our family as 'the brilliant geography teacher'. This term proved to be very accurate when the GCSE result for Geography was A*. Congratulations all round. D Brewer
Thank you and congratulations on the outrageous grade. Well done
From Julie
Simon was a very knowledgable tutor. He had planned his lessons in advance with in the requirements of my daughters particular needs for her A level examinations which took place earlier this month. He also advised and supported her in various ways of revision and exam technique. Next year if my daughter needs any help with her particular subjects, i would have hesitation in contacting him again
From Sandra
I can not praise Simon enough. He is a very supportive Geography tutor and is able to adapt to the specific needs of the pupil. He is very enthusiastic about the subject matter and is able to put across this in a variety of ways. My daughter is benefiting considerably from his knowledge, and now feels confident in her understanding of the subject matter. This in turn is helping enormously in her understanding of and interpretation of exam questions and the best approach to take to ensure that as many marks as possible are gained.
Thank you for the very kind and positive comments
From Sally
