Our son wanted to consolidate his learning and gain more confidence in preparation for his Math's GCSE. Andy has provided excellent tutoring and encouragement and our son really enjoys working with him. Our son has always been quite good at Math's but he now feels so much more confident in reviewing and editing his work which is obviously vital for gaining a better understanding. He wants to pursue A Level Mathematics so he will now have a fantastic foundation on which to build. We highly recommend Andy, he is friendly, approachable and overall has encouraged our son to be confident in his abilities.
Thank you Sarah - it is always a pleasure and very rewarding to help some-one with your sons enthusiasm for Mathematics. We have also had a lot of fun together along the way which is very important. He should do very well.
From Jake
Always on time, very likeable and knowledgeable and always goes at the pace I need. Absolutely great
Hi Jake - many thanks. You are a pleasure to work with and we do have a lot of fun together. I certainly hope to be able to help you with your goal of starting a Mathematics Degree in the near future.
Very Best Regards, Andy
From Emma
Andy is very encouraging and gives our daughter the confidence and self belief which she needs. He focuses on the topics that she struggles with and practices past papers which is preparing her well for exams. We're so glad Andy is on board and can already see a difference to her confidence and ability. Would definitely recommend Andy
Many thanks - it has been a real pleasure meeting you and your daughter. I am very pleased with her progress… this will certainly improve her confidence. So onwards and upwards.

Andy has been tutoring our eldest daughter for over a year now. He is very thorough with explanations and will always check the understanding of what has been taught, Andy is very kind and patient and we are extremely pleased with the impact the tuition has had on our daughter's results. We are so happy we found Andy, as he goes above and beyond and is always reliable. we will certainly be using Andy for our other daughter's tuition needs.
Thank you Dee - I really appreciate the kind words. It has been a real pleasure helping your daughter and meeting you and your family.
From Ashlea
We used Andy for my son in Yr11 to help with GCSE maths. He was excellent, so patient and great at explaining everything. My son found it so helpful and really helped his confidence. He also passed the higher paper, which he wouldn’t of done without Andy’s help.
Thanks Ashlea - it was a pleasure working with your son and meeting you… and many thanks for the recommendations !!
From Karen
Andy really helped boost my daughter's confidence before her maths AS exam, he took time to go over the specific areas she didn't understand. He was always punctual and friendly.
From Isaac
Andy is great at tailoring my revision sessions to meet my weak areas within mathematics. Andy has really helped my improve my revision methods and I’m sure he’s helped me achieve higher grades in recent exams
Thanks Isaac - much appreciated. You are very dedicated and a pleasure to work with so I am very confident that you will achieve the A-Level grades that you need. Best Rgds, Andy
From Charmaine
Andy is a great tutor. He works well with my daughter to help explain the work and improve her confidence in maths. He sets any extra work to do between lessons and has a lot of resources to hand. He helps with any homework and is available to contact with help by email. Already I have seen a marked improvement in her work.
Thanks Charmaine - it has been a pleasure to meet you and to work with your daughter. Onwards and upwards !
From Teresa
Andy was a fantastic tutor who has a real passion for his subject. My 18 year old son really enjoyed their sessions and actually missed him when they came to an end. They worked well together and achieved a Grade B at A level and his first choice place at Uni. I would have no hesitation in recommending him as a tutor.
Many thanks Teresa - it was a pleasure working with your son. He took on a tough set of subjects and came through really well. All the best to you both for the future.
From Christine
I asked my son, (age 13), who is Andy's student, and he said "Andy is a good tutor. He stops if you don't understand things and goes back over it."
As a Mum, I would add that Andy is punctual, well organised, clearly knows his maths (I sit in the lesson), patient, is increasing my son's confidence and is hugely valued in our house.
As a parent, I now understand, in some detail, how my son is performing in the maths subjects he is supposed to know in school and having this knowledge is hugely reassuring because we now know what topics we need to re-visit and what my son is doing ok in.
It is also great seeing my son's confidence improve. Thanks very much Andy.
Thanks Christine - it is both rewarding and enjoyable working with you and your son. Hopefully, he will continue to improve and gain confidence. Very Best Rgds, Andy
From Lewis
Really big help in the push towards my exams, pushed my grade from a low C to an A in my GCSEs
Thanks Lewis - it was very enjoyable working with you. All the very best for the future. Best Rgds, Andy
From Iona
"Encouraging, clear and overall very helpful" was the way that our son summarised Andy after his first sessions. We were extremely impressed with Andy's professionalism, enthusiasm for the subject and interest in what our son needed and wanted from the tuition. Andy's support has given him the boost he needed as he starts his study of Further Maths. We are extremely grateful and highly recommend him.
Thanks Iona,
It was a pleasure meeting you and your son and to give him the "kick start" that he needed before taking on his challenging Further Maths Course. I look forward to helping him again as needed in the future.
Very Best Rgds, Andy
From Nigel
Andy has been reliable, organised and a great help for our 16 year old son . He has developed a great working relationship in a short space of time which has led to improving results and a marked increase in confidence. With only a couple of months to go to the exams everything is on track! THANKS Andy.
Thanks Nigel - it has been a real pleasure meeting you and your son.
As you state confidence is so important with Maths and there has been a real improvement recently with your son. Very Best Regards, Andy
From Natalie
Maths was my sons favourite subject, until he started his AS. The jump is steep, and teaching is fast so with the other distractions of college life he found himself behind and felt totally out of his depth. Within just a few sessions, Andy has supported my son to regain his confidence, unlock his abilities and regain his passion for maths. Andy's sessions are engaging and fun, you could mistakenly think they were playing a game of cards hearing them at work. I only agreed to write a review with a promise from Andy that he'd continue to have time to support my son at A2. I could not recommend him highly enough. Thanks Andy!
Thank you so much Natalie - it has been a pleasure meeting you and working with your son. We have gelled from the first minute that we met and this is so important when working with a student. We have a way to go but I am confident that he will be successful.
From Alison
From our first correspondence, to meeting, to booking lessons, Andy has been thoroughly approachable, relaxed and professional. Andy has worked with my son for a whole term now. My 11 year old's outlook on maths has gone from "I can't do it" to "I want to try some more". We wanted to build confidence and not have maths be a problem subject moving up through the years. Andy has certainly achieved that and hearing the chatter during a lesson I know that he has built up a great rapport with my son. He can even persevere through a grumpy blip and still get my son laughing by the end. A skill that not everyone possesses. After one of the lessons before Christmas, my son said, "That was the best lesson yet!" with a big smile on his face. My son has moved up 2 maths groups. The beginning of year 7, new school and pre tests that didn't show an outstanding result meant he was put in a lower group. I believe that, Andy's careful explanations and his understanding of how to pitch his teaching methods to each individual student has been the winning factor for the fantastic progression we have seen. So glad we found you Andy. Thank you so much, look forward to more learning this year.
Hi Alison - many thanks. It has been a real pleasure meeting you and working with your son. Thanks again, Andy
From Anastasia

From Jessy

From Nikkita
Andy has helped my daughter to understand maths and enjoy the subject. He is excellent and always on time.
Thanks Susma - all the very best to you and your family for the future. Very Best Regards, Andy
From Anna
Andy provided some excellent revision assistance for my son who is taking A2s. He specifically wanted assistance with S2 maths paper, but I am sure Andy would be a great help in the other modules too. He was punctual and well prepared, providing past papers and looking for papers with questions to target my son's weaker areas. Huge help in exam technique and a great boost to my son's confidence. I would thoroughly recommend Andy. Thanks for all your help Andy!
Thanks Anna - I really enjoyed meeting you and working with your son as he approaches his A2 exams. Best Rgds, Andy
From James
Andy has proved to be a real help with both of my children. He has helped improve their ability and confidence, structuring bespoke tutoring to their aptitude and age group.
He has a relaxed manner which also gets results.
Thanks Andy!!
Thank you James - it has been a real pleasure to meet you, your wife and your two daughters (and Bear the dog !). I am very pleased that things are working well with both of your daughters and I look forward to continuing into the **Telephone Number Removed** academic year.
Very Best Rgds, Andy
From Cameron
Thanks Cameron ! You could also add some comments (but not about Southampton FC !) if you get time.
But it has been a pleasure working with you on all of Core 2, Core 3, Core 4, Statistics 1 and Decision 1 with the EDEXCEL syllabus… and importantly we have had a lot of fun along the way. I really hope that you get the Grade A that you deserve and need for your preferred University Place.
From Karen
We have only seen Andy for a couple of sessions but so far so good really promising. Very encouraging where Charlie is concerned. Prompt organised sessions delivered in a friendly manner.
Thanks Karen - there is a long way to go with Charlie but we have already established a good relationship. I look forward to building his knowledge and importantly his confidence in Maths.
From Ray
Andy is an excellent tutor. He is very responsible, well prepared for the first lesson my son had. My boy is very happy with him.
Thanks Ray - it was a pleasure meeting and working with your son.
I look forward to helping him further with the transition in Mathematics from Singapore to the UK and in getting the A* in both GCSE Maths and GCSE Further Maths that he wants to achieve.
Very Best Regards, Andy
From Michael
Mr has totally transformed my son's approach to statistics, from an unconfident young man totally confused and disillusioned with the subject to a confident, knowledgable and positive attitude to the precision of the subject. I cannot recommend Roderick highly enough and I am sure that my son will pass his Yr 1 University exam re-sit with flying colours. Thank you!
Thank you Michael. Very much appreciated.
