For the first few sessions Marek was on time and cooperating quite well. Afterwards, he started being highly unprofessional, he would arrive late without even trying to contact us to tell us that he was running late, he would talk to my parents even if my parents have expressed a need for him to go back to teaching me, he has cancelled lessons at the very last minute for inadequate reasons {"I am tired now. I will offer you 4 houres of free tuition. Today I have to relax and go to a theatre with my girlfriend. I will text you tomorrow" [sent to me on the 12/05/2019 at 12.02 pm]} Moreover, he would ignore some of my requests of chapters that I needed to go over and insist on doing the same things over and over again because those things are his forte. I am very unhappy with his methods and wouldn't recommend his services.
1/ I was watched by her mother and father during a session, 2/ They spoke Italian in front of me, 3/ They were very emotional, and those emotions and quarrels affected my Focus 4/ On one occasion, I dedicated nearly 5 hours and was paid only for 2 hours. Despite this, her mom was unhappy. 5/ We jumped from Pure Maths to Mechanics and Statistics like exchanging goodies at the shop. 6/ I bought 2 sets of paper exams for free. 7/ I know they are changing tutors like you change paper tissues. FINAL NOTICE: How long have you been attending school? 2nd year of College? And what? Classified as F-student!!!! I have 3 months to make a difference!!! Are you kidding me!!!!!!! Should I write more? Not to mention that getting there when Central Line is partly closed takes from midday till midnight.

Excellent teacher. Hard working and knowlegable.the main obstacle is his poor command of English
I appreciate this reference. I would not publish this reference, as i will not keep my 5 stars. However, i know, that it is better to publish even the worst reference, cos I have a chance to comment as well. This student has got no basic knowledge of GCSE ICT. I tried to tell his father about lacking of basic knowledge by his son. His father wanted to concentrate on sophisticated coding without building the foundation- basic stuff. The best coded program can contribute in 25% of your mark provided that your coded program is excellent, but it could be only a wishful thinking. His father and his son do not know the syllabus. They have no idea about IGCSE ICT - the same exam standards in Singapore and Hong Kong. To be successful at coding and compete with the best, you have to be really good. I am happy, that they gave up, cos I do not have to take responsibility in case of failing their exam. I want to teach the best of the best, as in Hong Kong and Singapore you have ''Tigers''. They are too competitive.
From Nicola
My son has been with Marek for 4 weeks (GCSE Maths) and already we can see his confidence growing. Marek quickly identified the gaps in his knowledge to work alongside his strengths.
From Sylvie
Marek has taken the time to identify my daughter's specific needs and has devised a program for her. She's already more confident in her ability in Maths.
From Basia
Marek has been punctual, helpful and engaging. My 14 year old son has enjoyed the sessions and in a short period of time has progressed quickly. Marek is thorough, enthusiastic and effective.
From Elena
In the words of my son whom Marek is helping with his Math: "He is a real deal!" Thank you, Marek.
