This is only the start of a hopefully long journey to try get my son to A stars and a top university, but so far Matthew has been extremely impressive and formed a strong connection with my 17 year old son. Extremely impressed.
Thank you very much. Looking forward to continuing working with him.
From Fiona
Matthew tried his hardest to engage our 17yo. We really appreciate all you have done and hopefully some of what was taught / discussed / worked on will have gone into their brain ready for the exams ! Our difficulty is motivation and unless the student is listening and engaged it is very difficult for the tutor. We really appreciate Matthew's patience and understanding over the last couple of months.
Thanks for the positive feedback. Much obliged.
From Lucy
We are delighted with the support Matthew has offered our sons; as an A level physics tutor and GCSE maths tutor. He has been working with our family for six months, and Seb is feeling increasing confident with Year 13 physics material which was causing him some difficulties in Year 12. We have found Matthew to be professional, reliable and extremely approachable. He has great communication skills and offers honest feedback. Matthew has provided both in-person and on line tutoring. I would have no hesitation in recommending his services to others.
Many thanks; it's a pleasure working with your family.
From JOe
Very considered tutor. Would recommend.
Thank you. It's a pleasure working with T.

Created good rapport with Evan and he felt very comfortable working with you from day one. This was very important for him. Helped as required rather than taking the lead which supported development of Evans confidence which is of course 50% of the battle! A little more rigour around dates and times would have been appreciated, especially in the dates approaching the exams as this was a variable we did not need, Appreciated the flexibility to travel to as for the most part which must have been tough. In summary, thanks, expertise around physics is without question - but key point was that you created a safe and comfortable partnership with Evan for him to engage and learn.
Many thanks. Pleasure working with Evan.
From Fiona
My son has only had one tutoring session with Matthew, but they seemed to 'click' immediately, and Ollie feels Matthew will be of enormous help over the coming months. Matthew was very approachable, friendly, informative, and explained things in a way that made it clear to Ollie. So far, so good !
I look forward to working with him. Much obliged.
From David
well qualified and personable.
Thank you.
From Rebecca
Matthew is a very good tutor and was a great help to my daughter. He is efficient and sensitive to the needs of those who find Maths difficult. Meeting at his home meant that my daughter was put at her ease and that the session was more productive as a result. He was occasionally a little unsure about how to match the precise specifics of the syllabus to particular techniques but overall I am delighted that he was able to help.
Thank you for the feedback, the tutoring was a pleasure. Yes that topic was a trifle unusual in how it was presented in the question. I have since devised an explanation using just GCSE knowledge - a useful experience for me.
From Lorraine
Thank you.
From Sarah
From a parents point of view Matthew is easy to contact, reliable, efficient and polite. From my son's point of view Matthew is a person he feels comfortable with, he is good at explaining and works at the correct pace
Sarah Davenport
Thank you - it's a pleasure working with you both.
From Caroline
Matthew is proving to be a great tutor. My son Bob has found the sessions to be well planned and focussed, really helpful and enjoyable. Matthews enthusiasm for maths and for helping others learn comes across. Bob is always positive about and looks forwards to the tutor sessions. He comes away relaxed and confident that his maths queries and gaps in his A level knowledge are being met
I would recommend Matthew to others.
Thank you - it's a pleasure to teach Bob, his enthusiasm and ability are very pleasing to see.
From Elizabeth
Matthew is a great chap, very conscientious and reliable. Our son is finding him very helpful with his iGSCE Maths tutoring. We are happy to recommend him.
Thank you - he has been a pleasure to work with to date, and his rapid progress is very pleasing to see.
From Elizabeth
Matthew responded very quickly to my initial enquiry. Based on the three sessions we have had so far I feel he is very able to identify my problem areas and provide extremely constructive help and guidance so that my confidence is beginning to return and I hope to be able to regain my previous enjoyment of Maths.
Thank you - your enthusiasm alone will take you far! I look forward to continuing working together.
From Lawrence
We have seen Matthew once as a maths tutor for our son who is doing his AS, and we hope to plan some further sessions with him before the end of the holidays.
Matthew seems to be very clear and concise - our son was happy to be given reasons why - so the session made more sense to him. He also said he liked the way that Matthew was able to link the topics, which I think indicates that Matthew has more than just a basic knowledge of his subject.
We liked Matthew and would recommend him to anyone who wanted a solid tutor in Maths.
Pleasure to meet you all, and I look forward to continuing working with you all over the Christmas period.
