Ian's Feedback

Ian has demonstrated strong expertise as an A-level Business Studies tutor. He has explained concepts in a straightforward manner, drawing on the student's personal experiences and interests to make the content relatable. This has really helped to build confidence. Ian spent time at the beginning identifying areas that the student needs more support with and then adjusts sessions depending on what is needed.

Overall, I would recommend Ian - he is knowledgeable and approachable, making for a positive tutoring experience.

Hi Ian
You've asked for feedback.
Rob seems confident his grades can improve with you. Hopefully you have a clear structure how this can be acheived. Will Rob re sit all 6 papers and will you be giving him work and marking it? How will you improve his ability to answer exam questions better? I'd appreciate feedback to know if Rob is understanding what you're asking of him. He'll have a lesson a week in a couple of months, we've just got a lot on at the moment
Many thanks
Jill

The lessons have been very helpful, I have been getting good results in essays and tests. The lessons are well structured and useful. Ian has been flexible with lessons when required. Thanks

Ian has made learning A/L Economics more enjoyable for my daughter. Ian is punctual, thorough and provides helpful resources to support learning. My daughter has high expectations and Ian certainly meets them. I would recommend him for tutoring A/L Economics.

My son did not feel confident with Ian but that does not mean he is a bad teach just didn't click.

We were looking for a tutor who could break down and explain complex concepts with ease - we found exactly that in Ian’s teaching style.

Provides help for all topics and gives explanations in great depth.

Ian is a fantastic tutor for my son. He has really improved his confidence, whilst also teaching him all the necessary skills and knowledge he needs to improve in A-Level business studies. I’d highly recommend him.

Our lessons together are always productive and beneficial. You have given me the ability to learn and think critically. I am now capable of taking on any economics essay with confidence. As a result, I was able to boost my grade and achieve an A for my economics A-level. Thank you very much for your support, I am very grateful!

I waited until I got my son's year 12 exam results to make these comments. Whilst he "could do better" his grade was markedly improved.
I am very happy with Ian's tutoring. He only had a few on line lessons with Toby and the most important issue is not just the information discussed but rather that he was able to spark an interest in the subject in my son. The use of current examples and a broad knowledge of even South Korean economics was key.
I will be requesting regular further lessons next year.

Needed some last second revision and Ian had given me just the right help. I feel much more confident with my exam technique and believe the sessions with Ian were very helpful.

My son has had several sessions with Ian now and finding them really helpful.
Ian is clear in his communication and provides honest and constructive feedback, which my son appreciates. As a result his confidence is improving as he moves towards his A Level exams.

Ian is an excellent tutor. He improved my son grades in Year 12 from B to A and now working towards A*. He has an excellent ability to baseline the student level of understanding and thereafter put a plan of improvement based on student needs. His key skills are to improve the understanding of basics/fundaments of the subject, so the student not only understand the subject but enjoys it as well as a subject. He also prepare the student from exam point of view as he has year of experience in exam boards. He does this by letting the student do exam papers from pervious year, thereafter give valuable feedback and ways to improve it. He also has lot of resources in terms of study material, exam papers which helps quiet a lot. Ian has helped in improving my son from B to A a grade in a year and now working towards A* Ian is highly recommended!.

I booked Ian's tuition for my niece. She has made good progress in Economics since she started the lessons with Ian. Ian is a responsible tutor, who can explain the terms in detail with good examples to help her to understand. Ian has helped her to understand the logic behind knowledge and master essay structure.

I am really happy that we got Ian to teach my daughter A level economics.
WE have only had few lessons with him but from the experience so far I can say that he is a great teacher and explains the subject with scenarios so she is understanding it much better.

My son is of few words but I believe his working relationship with Ian is good. He did brilliantly in his end of year 13 exam which was a fantastic surprise so proof is in the pudding!

My daughter was worried after getting a low mark in her mocks in Economics. I saw the advert for first tutors and Ian had good feedbacks. My daughter has been having weekly tutorial with Ian and she said she understands the subject much better and is more confident in her approach to the subject. She now says that getting an A in her exam next year is a definite possibility. I can't thank Ian enough.

I have so far found Ian to be an absolutely fantastic and friendly tutor - he is extremely knowledgeable, helpful and responsive. I have sought his help to cover Y1 macro-economics content that I sadly was not taught at my current school, and I definitely feel that with his continued support I will achieve my predicted A* grade next year. Thank you very much Ian for all your help so far!

My 17 year old son has found the Business Studies A level tuition with Ian extremely helpful in identifying exactly how to improve his grades; they work through papers together and then analyse completed homework . Ian has been very encouraging and motivating - my son enjoys the sessions.

Ian has been tutoring our son who is currently studying Economics at A Level in the Lower Sixth. After an initial discussion with him over zoom we established the areas to focus on and left Ian to focus on the areas where extra support was required. Our son had received a grade of D in April 2021 in an earlier exam so we were naturally concerned.

Over the last 2 months, we engaged with Ian on a weekly lesson. Our son has now sat his Economics end of year exams which determine his expected grades for University. I am pleased to say that our son achieved an A in his exam this month ( June ) and is now predicted an A* for his final exams next year.

Ian's knowledge has proven to be exceptional and our son also gives him the 'thumbs up'

We cannot recommend Ian enough and would like to thank him for his support and focus - I believe the results speak for themselves.

Friendly, reliable, helpful and very knowledgeable. My daughter enjoys her sessions and learns a lot - thank you.

My teenager was very happy after the first session. Looking forward to the next session. Prompt and great communication.

A very talented and engaging tutor!

Takes the initiative to go through exam questions at your request whilst also providing for the material. Ensures you fully understand the topics he teaches and will never bore you with his teaching.

Very deserving of this excellent rating.

We found Ian easy to contact and the sessions were set up with no problems.
Our son has found Ian easy to relate to and is finding the tutoring helpful. He says that Ian’s advice is straightforward and easy to follow.

Ian is a great teacher! He makes lessons enjoyable and easy to follow, and has made economics interesting! He explains concepts clearly, and is a great person to chat to as well as to be taught by. As a student I have struggled largely with economics due to lack of motivation. Ian has made it easier for me to stay engaged with the subject; boosting my confident and making me a more proactive student when it comes to revision and class discussions!

Ian is very good in explaining the concepts. My son is enjoying his lessons and hopefully he will get better grades.

Ian has helped our son progress with his A-level business studies. In particular, he has helped him in better planning his exam responses in order to achieve the best possible marks. He makes the discussion on the subject very interesting and engaging.

My son has found his detailed analysis of examination papers to be particularly useful. He has also commented on his ability to explain things clearly. He has also stated that this assistance has helped him in his lessons at school. It has been good for his confidence.

Ian has connected well with my son. My son is definitely showing more interest in the subject. Ian has assured me of more feed back once he works with him a little longer.

Great thanks for Ian’s patience and efforts in order to boost the confidence of my son on his Business studies. I have to say Ian is a fantastic experienced tutor for business studies and wish to have a satisfying result in the coming autumn Alevel exams. Thanks again and finger crossed…

Ian has helped my daughter push her expectations and hopes for improving her A level grade beyond her original aspirations! She is more confident, knowledgeable, has a far better understanding of economics and now believes in her own ability to succeed in her A level economics exams. Ian has a no nonsense approach and gets stuck straight in. He knows the A level syllabus thoroughly; reinforces what the school is teaching as the syllabus progresses, and in so doing provides a thorough and better understanding of economics.
Ian has advised on exam technique and how to approach each section of the A level papers. He will set and mark questions similar to and also from previous exam papers, providing insights into maximising your performance and potential to achieve your full potential. As a parent, having seen the pressures our daughter has put herself under to achieve, we can honestly say a big thankyou to Ian for providing a service above and beyond our expectations. Thankyou!

Ian has an excellent knowledge of the subject and is able to explain it clearly to me. He has shown what the examiners are looking for and the correct technique to answer questions to achieve the highest marks. I believe I have made really good progress and am more confident in achieving a much higher A level grade.

Always prompt and provides a professional, enthusiastic lesson. Bryony is really benefiting from Ian's knowledge and experience. Would have no hesitation in recommending Ian.

Ian is friendly and professional and though he has not been tutoring my daughter long she is already happier and more confident in her abilities

Ian is an excellent tutor and is helping our son currently with his 2nd Year Business Studies A-Level.

Ian is very passionate about his subject and has an excellent tutoring style.

Ian has been an excellent tutor, and has provided Ben with the right level of tuition, exam practice questions and feedback to enable him to feel more confident and prepared for his retake exams. In addition, Ben has stated " Ian is helpful, knows his stuff and has provided useful extra materials". I would not hesitate to recommend.
