From Jane
Alan provided media A level tutoring to our son for a summer resit - which he passed. I've found Alan to be very reliable, attentive, professional. His lessons have been very well structured and honed in to our son's needs and ability. He provided excellent resources, always gave feedback and I felt he was very good at boosting our son's confidence. We've had various tutors for our children over the years and Alan has been the best by far.
From Nikki
We have been so impressed by Alan and his tutoring of A level media for our child. He has considerable experience of this exam but, just as importantly, has a gift of being able to share his knowledge in a way this is accessible and interesting. He is also very generous in sharing the many student resources he has built up over time. It took a long time to find a media teacher with this experience and skills - we cannot recommend Alan highly enough.
From Faris
Alan has really helped my daughter after several sessions, and in fact she has asked to continue with more sessions. Overall she finds the sessions very helpful, with Alan providing various resources, following up all the time, is well organised for each session, and definitely very knowledgeable about the subject matter. The only regret is not having reached out to Alan earlier!
From Seema
We had one lesson with Alan and i thought he was good, but my daughter was not keen on **E-mail Address Removed**drive platform- She struggles with dyslexia and the system wasnt right for her. This doesnt mean Alan was not a worthy tutor- but my daughter felt that weekly lessons in this format would not suit her.
From Jorga
Alan is so caring and goes above and beyond. Would highly recommend
From Nadia
Alan responded to our request promptly and has made an excellent start in helping our son with GCSE exams. He is friendly, very reliable and experienced in his teaching methods. Weekly feedbacks are also very helpful and our son feels his writing skills are improving. We wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Alan as an English tutor to a friend.
From Sebastian
Mr has been relatively methodical in his approach and found really useful for my son to identify which areas he needs improvement in analytical writing. He keeps an even keel with students to put across his ideas and learning contents to them. My son has found useful in improving his English language skills.
From JO
Alan is a great tutor who is patient and inspiring with strong sense of responsibilities. Very glad to see my son has made improvements already just with his tutoring started not for long yet. Looking forward to seeing the satisfactory Alevel results later next year while the boost of his interest and enthusiasm has shown a very good sign. Great thanks Alan, really appreciate your kind efforts and help.
From Jason

Alan is very professional, knowledgeable and approachable and takes time to tailor the English Language sessions to my son's interests.

From William
Alan has helped me with an English Literature A - Level exam. He has provided some really useful feedback and often includes additional comments as well as the comments he has written on the essay. Alan has always been prompt on marking essays and is very willing to respond to any queries if you have any. I would highly recommend him as a tutor.
From Haley
Alan is the epitome of professionalism. He responded quickly to both my initial enquiry and all correspondence thereafter.
My daughter is shy and it can take a gentle approach to get her to talk openly about any issues and Alan has far exceeded my expectations in assessing the situation and managing his tutoring style to suit with her personality.
I am assured by my daughter that she feels far more confident in the subject matter already. With GCSE's quickly approaching we are so glad that we opted for some additional tutoring and I think we've been extremely lucky to find Alan to help!

We have bee really impressed with Alan from the outset. He responded extremely quickly to my enquiry and has acted very professionally throughout - with additionally a high degree of empathy that shows the student comes first. His obvious broad experience shines through and he has been very proactive in suggesting additional support that will help our son. I cannot recommend him highly enough.
