From Lydia
Thank you so much Ian! Helped me get from an E to an A in A Level Biology both in terms of explaining things very well, and really encouraging me to find things interesting again. I couldn't have done it without you so thank you - Lydia

Wishing you all the very best to gain entry for Medicine.
From Tabitha
Ian has been a fantastic Biology tutor, helping me work toward my desired a-level grade. He always planned an engaging and interactive session, specifically going through past exam questions which I found particularly helpful in both solidifying content understanding but also working on my exam technique. Ian was also always happy for me to lead the session, if I had anything specific I wanted to go over, and was always willing to help. The time and effort that Ian gives to his students is incredible, and I am so grateful for all his help. I can’t recommend enough!
Thank you Tabby. It was a pleasure working with you.
From Marina
Very thorough and helpful tutoring using real exam questions to improve exam technique.
Would recommend!
From Julie
Robert (aka Ian) has been helping our 16 year old son with A level Biology for the past couple of months. My son's words are " I definitely recommend Ian, he is really helpful, professional yet fun and i learn so much from him". Thank you so much Ian, the additional support you provide is invaluable.
Thank you J and Julie - J is a pleasure to teach

From Richard
Ian (aka Robert) has a refreshing approach to teaching, encouraging his pupils to simultaneously learn and enjoy the course. He is an excellent tutor with an expert knowledge of Biology and related disciplines. He has a kind, attentive nature which put me at ease from the start and ensured that I was able to absorb and understand the subject first time around. I am confident that I made the right choice in selecting Ian as my tutor.
Thank you, Richard, for that lovely feedback.
From Jamie
Robert (aka Ian) really helped me with my A-level biology revison and learning. He has an excellent knowledge of the syllabus (and beyond) and is very good at explaining and communicating concepts. This helped me enormously in answering exam questions and picking up the mark available. He was flexible and responsive in his teaching approach and I always found our sessions interesting. A fantastic tutor! Thank you, Ian!
From Simon
Robert (aka Ian!) has been really supportive of our daughter, in her A Level Biology studies over the last two years, and has really helped her shift from the GCSE approach of learning stuff to a robust A level approach of using the knowledge combined with a solid understanding of processes and systems to develop answers to problems. This has transformed the away she works and built her confidence substantially. Ian is highly recommended.
Thank you for that lovely feedback. It’s been a pleasure tutoring M.
From Amy
Absolutely great tutor! Helped me a huge amount throughout my gap year whilst re taking my biology a level. An overall really friendly and lovely character and jam packed full of knowledge, would definitely recommend him as a tutor!
From Nicole
My daughter was reluctant to have tuition so I arranged the first session and we agreed that she could decide if she wanted to continue with Robert or find someone else. After this session, I picked her up and she had already arranged a regular date for weekly lessons. Robert is excellent - he has a wonderful way of asking questions to assess knowledge and then teaches from there. He instils self-confidence and self-belief. I would definitely recommend - and as a fellow teacher, I'm hard to please!
Thank you so much, Nicole. Your kind comments are much appreciated.
From Lesley

Thank you Lesley. Your kind comments are much appreciated.
From Charlotte
My daughter has found Ian to be an an excellent tutor, highly reliable with a fantastic knowledge of the topics. He has been very supportive and explains the topics really well and in excellent detail. As a result my daughters confidence in Biology has improved. We would definitely recommend Ian to others.
Thank you very much for this wonderful feedback!
From Dominic
Ian has an in depth knowledge of all topics we have gone over. He has knowledge in current medical affairs. His method of getting me to think for myself is proving to be effective and I am using this technique more when self studying. I could not ask for any more.
Thank you, Dom. I'm pleased you are finding my tuition helpful and effective.
From John
I have found Ian to be a very good tutor for my daughter. She did well at AS but found a change in teaching style and more complex course content a real challenge. Ian is very professional and knowledgeable and has worked with her using a problem solving approach which is really helpful in encouraging her to take responsibility to structure topics for revision. It has helped her to prioritise her time. It was heartwarming to collect her after one session to hear her say that she had understood something in less than an hour that she had been struggling with for months. I wish I had found him sooner and can recommend him without hesitation.
Thank you so much for this wonderful and much appreciated feedback.
From Florence
Ian responded very promptly to our request. He is always very punctual for the lessons. As a tutor he is very helpful and encouraging to my daughter. He gives due consideration to her questions and answers carefully. With his help she has been prompted to complete work in between sessions, which is very beneficial.
From Zana
Ian has been very helpful to my daughter's AS level biology. He is prompt, kind and patient, I would recommend him.
From Sarah
Ian is an excellent and very experienced A level biology tutor. My 16 year old son can be a harsh critic, he really likes Ian's professional teaching style.
From Thomas
Tom had a couple of sessions of tutoring from Ian to consolidate his first term of AS Biology work. He was well organised and very thorough, highlighting any gaps in learning- "a nice guy" too!
