Stephen

Stephen is an incredible, tutor who makes our lessons, both fun, enjoyable, educational and academic. Stephen is incredible, at filling in the gaps and the struggles I have faced with Politics due to not having access to the internet at home enabling me to keep up to date with politics. Stephen’s lessons are interesting and enriching. Stephen has helped me through with his vast knowledge, class notes for ever topic, which all have synoptic links and exam materials. As well as his ability to nurture ,and help me with my writing style and technique - I had a tendency of going down rabbit holes and losing my argument. Stephen is a wonderful teacher who has made all material accessible to me and has never treated me differently for having a disability. Stephen was impeccable with assisting and advising me with my politics revision in order for me to achieve higher grades. Stephen’s expertise were fundamental to me as a first generation university student who has secured place at the University of Oxford - I could not of asked for a better Politics tutor thank you for inspiring me motivating me and sharing your passion and your generosity I am eternally grateful.

This is the student, the request below was made by my dad on my behalf however, the feedback has come from me.

Since August I have been getting tutoring sessions with Stephen once a week, and at points twice a week. Stephen has helped me beyond measure with history and I couldn't think of a person better suited to tutor A Level Students. Not only does he know his stuff, he is approachable and reliable. In our sessions we mostly covered Britain in the 20th Century and Stephen's expertise in this period was outstanding; he often filled gaps in my knowledge and was on hand with quotes from relevant historians and examples to evidence in essays.

I think I should also mention that he was ready to cover periods other than Britain too, branching out as far as the East India Company and Medieval England in our sessions. In this regard, his feedback was useful, and my experience of the sessions did not change. Needless to say, Stephens support has been vital in my performance in this subject so far.

Personally, I have enjoyed our sessions and working with Stephen, which I think is in part a result of his obvious passion for the subject and his ability to crack jokes and be relatable mid-session. Therefore, I highly recommend Stephen as a tutor and am confident that your experience would be the same as mine!

Thanks Stephen,

Very methodical in his teaching approach but also with focus on my daughter’s needs. My daughter enjoyed the lessons and got a lot out of Stephen’s knowledge and experience with A-Levels.
Many thanks for the support you have given my daughter to give her the extra confidence to do well in the exam.

My daughter has ADHD and ASD and she connected with Stephen straight away, she likes the way he tutors her and he would concentrate on the areas she was struggling to understand - even if this request was made a couple of times. Stephen was also very flexible as my daughter has lots of appointments so everything worked well - there was never any pressure. Stephen has amazing patience and is an oracle when it comes to politics - keeping very current on exam questions and the specification - over the moon with his support.

Stephen has been a real help to our year 12 history and politics student. He is really flexible and will work in ways that fit with her learning style. He is very knowledgeable in all aspects of the syllabus and learning objectives. He’s also stimulating in his approach to delivering content. Thanks Stephen!
