Matthew's Feedback

Matthew guided my son through his A level Economics. His sessions were invaluable. Matthew created an excellent rapport with my son and from this his confidence and knowledge grew. To ensure my son understood concepts, Matthew set homework at a manageable pace and gave regular feedback. There is no doubt with Matthews help my sons grade improved. We are very grateful for Matthews help and would thoroughly recommend his services as a tutor.

My son really engaged with Matt's technique of teaching A'Level Economics. He would really look forward to his sessions with Matt where each topic would be explained clearly and chatted about at length. Matt would give examples that made clear sense of some of the more complicated areas of economics. He is super easy going, always punctual and my son was always left feeling really positive that he had not only learned something new but really understood what was being taught to him.
Thank you Matt!

Matt is an excellent tutor who I would highly recommend He was always punctual, reliable and personable. He has a wide range of knowledge on how to achieve a high A-level grade in Economics. My son thoroughly enjoyed his tutorials with Matt and without his extra support he would not have achieved the grade he did. Thank you Matt.

Matthew was the best decision I made. He worked with my son over a relatively short period of time and help him gain an excellent A Level result. From the time he took to understand my son and the best way to help him learn to the feedback and support he gave to both of us. Honestly I can not recommend him enough.

Matthew is an incredible, intuitive, intelligent tutor. He engaged my daughter and taught her parts of the A Level economic syllabus she had disconnected with and failed at. In just a matter of months of tutoring her, her grades went from D’s to B’s. What Matthew is good at, is being consistent and systematic in his approach and delivery of lessons. He is so knowledgeable about the exam board, the way to attain marks and write essays. I thought it was fantastic how he made my daughter laugh and start enjoying the subject but also called her out when she lost concentration or didn’t do the homework he had set (which he does every week). Most importantly for us, was he gave my daughter confidence in her abilities, improved her understanding rapidly and helped her believe she could do well in the subject. He is also a really nice, kind person and loves a good cup of coffee. I totally recommend Matthew as a tutor.

To say Matt’s tutoring services are exceptional is a vast understatement.

Before even delving into his constructive and informative lessons - of which the quality greatly supersedes any teaching I’ve experienced before in both knowledge and passion for the subject - you must understand that his pedagogy far extends the moment from when he leaves the door of your house. Matt works tirelessly to ensure that all your queries - whether it be a concept you have struggled with at school or one you read in a book - can be answered in a clear and concise manner. I have phoned him a myriad number of times for clarification on certain notions in economics at all kinds of ghastly hours, and Matt still diligently piles all of his effort behind answering the questions. In fact, Matt also provided me with an extremely useful mock Oxbridge interview that helped me articulate and structure my answers in a logical and cogent manner. Matt is undoubtedly the most accessible tutor I have ever met. But beyond this, Matt writes a weekly ‘current affairs’ email - often spanning 3-4 thousand words or more - ensuring that his students are up to date with all the developments in economic life around the world and informing his students how they can apply the relevant information to their answers in the A-Level.

Yet, I still haven’t mentioned the quality of his marking. Matt stringently sets one homework per week - ranging from a worksheet to an essay or multiple past papers. One often thinks that the one-to-one contact is where one learns the most, but with Matt, he ensures that it is from his in-depth marking, which acutely informs his students how they can improve their exam technique and core knowledge of the subject as well. This is generally an over-looked part of a tutoring-service, but Matt ensures it is at the kernel of his pedagogy as ultimately the A-Levels are structured in a manner that makes exam-technique and the knowledge of how to convey certain answers exceedingly important.

The lessons with Matt are exceedingly insightful and developmental-focused. He employs a Socratic teaching method in order to ensure that you have a strong foundational economic knowledge and is always eager to challenge you through concepts and readings that are outside of the A-Level. At first though, Matt always makes sure that he has thoroughly gone through the respective specification and taught you the necessary knowledge and ideas to attain the grade that you desire.

All in all, Matt is an incredible tutor whose scope and quality of teaching is truly phenomenal.

I can't rate Matt highly enough. He is extremely organised and has an excellent system in place to help. We felt continually reassured by his regular progress updates on our son. He also sent us a complete spreadsheet of all work that our son completed, the grades achieved and the lessons learned. His approach is comprehensive and leaves nothing to chance.

Matthew is an excellent economics tutor! He truly loves his job, and every time he gives my son a class he is passionate and very professional! He is very methodical. He knows how to develop children's interest in learning! To tell you the truth, my son didn't like studying economics before, he thought it was too difficult, but after learning A few lessons with Matthew , he no longer hates economics, and even chose to continue studying this course when considering A-Level. This change really surprises me! I really appreciate Matthew's help to my son! He's really good! Highly recommend him!

Matt is one of the best economics tutors around. His knowledge on how to achieve the highest marks in economics allowed me to improve my grade in a short space of time. He takes great care with each of his students especially with homework to ensure they are actively improving their economics. I would definitely recommend Matt if you're studying economics!

Mathew is a brilliant tutor for Economics. He helped my son so much and improved his grade from a D in AS to an A in A Level. He provides the right resources and the right advice at the relevant times during your course. He planned his homework’s every week and would give constructive feedback in order to improve his overall grade. He is very friendly and has developed my sons confidence not only in Economics but also in general. I am very pleased with my sons improvement.

It was a pleasure working with Matt over the course of my final year of A-Levels. With his guidance, encouragement and expert tuition, I was able to improve upon my predicted grade significantly and reach my full potential. Throughout the year, Matt was dedicated to marking homework that he had set and would always include a concise set of feedback which would advise me on how to further improve. The work set by Matt was most certainly useful and was crucial in allowing me to understand certain topics which I found tricky.
Closer to the time of the exams, Matt's output would increase and he would offer thorough revision courses which would present opportunities for his students to work in small groups of 2 or 3 and cover material from earlier on in the course which was very beneficial.

In conclusion, I thoroughly recommend Matt to anybody who is looking for a hardworking, dedicated expert economics tutor that will invest his time and energy into helping you improve.

I started using Matt in October, with the hope of pushing for a high grade in Economics at A level.
Within quick time, I already felt a lot more confident and constanly recieved extra materials which were extremly helpful when it came to sitting exams.

Matt was able to adapt to focus on the exam board I was sitting. His depth of knowledge for the exams being sat, make answering questions easier and I was able to gain greater exam technique, eg timing and structure, which is extremely important when it comes to sitting the exams.

Overall Matt was excellent , I could not have asked for a better tutor! He worked extremly hard to ensure I had everything I needed and to answer any questions I had even outside of our lessons.

Amazing tutor. Matt has helped me immensely with economics as I found the subject very challenging. I have gained confidence and managed to get an A level result which I am over the moon with! Matt is a great guy and will go out of his way to help you. He was particularly supportive through the weeks of revision leading up to the final exams.

From the get go in January, Matt vigilantly established all the topics and areas of Economics I was struggling with and set out a plan as to
how he would go over them to increase my understanding.
Matt was very polite and although he went at a reasonably fast pace, I found i was able to keep up with the content and complete all homework
to a good standard - far, far better than i could have without the tuition.
Matt took the time to mark all my work and give effective feedback so that if I was to complete the work a second time, which I did on some
occasions, I would achieve higher marks and know where i went wrong the first time.
I found the one hour length was the best for me as I would be able to keep concentrated on learning and listening. I found it useful that Matt
had practice questions with extracts so he would be able to tell whether I understood the topics, where I needed improvement but also it served
as exam practice for me since there would be similar layouts in the real thing.
Overall, I was extremely happy with the tuition I received and found revision and the exams in general for economics less stressful. I'm delighted
to say that I achieved an A* in my final exam which was up from a C grade at AS level.
Thank you Matt!

I started having Economics sessions with Matt in January of my A2 year. I had previously achieved a C at AS level, and despite me being predicted an a at A level, was not confident that I would be able to achieve it prior to looking for a tutor. In addition, I had struggled with motivational issues which had in large part been the reason for my underachievements the previous year. Matt went above and beyond to tutor me in the subject and through his help, I was able to not only develop my knowledge & application of the information, but also became more confident in subject itself. Through his weekly topic-targetted exam questions, as well as the extremely detailed feedback from the previous week, my understanding improved, as well as my discipline levels in the subject. Additionally, Matt was readily available (pretty much) 24/7, whether that be during the session itself or simply via phone or text to deal with any niggling query i had regarding anything economics. As well as this, despite me being one of the few students to do economics on the WJEC board, Matt ensured that he taught me everything as the specification laid it out, thus giving me the best possible understanding for my specific course. With Matt's enormous help, I was able to achieve the A grade and subsequently got into the economics course i wanted at university. I could not recommend Matt enough, and he is undoubtedly exactly what any A level student would need to achieve their potential, and then some.

I'm not a big fan of school, as cliche as it sounds. GCSE and my first year of A-Levels was really tough on me, quite difficult in terms of school. I suffered from anxiety and I was depressed, in the end I failed my first year of A-Levels. Thankfully my school let me continue and I knew I had to change something. I looked for a tutor and I found Matthew, already liked him as soon as I saw his page. Now nearly six months in, I'm much better thanks to Matthew. I view him as a friend and a tutor, to the point that I wish to keep in contact with him after my A levels. Matthew is blunt which a student needs, he views a failure as a lesson to which a student needs to learn and he gives you guidance to which many students need. I'm not writing this for the sake of it, I'm writing this feedback as a way of saying thank you to Matthew. I don't have to write this much, I could just write "he's great" and that's it.

I would fully recommend Matthew to anyone, he gives you life advice and he's not a tutor who just wants to take money from you. He sits you down and gets to know you. Don't look for anyone else, Matthew is the perfect tutor. He sacrifices for his students and all he wants in return is for you to work hard. Thanks Matthew for everything.

The key qualities that Mathew as a tutor possess are clear communication, broad variety of teaching methods and great understanding of the subject. He is motivated, punctual, creative and well organised.
I find Matthew’s teaching methods highly effective but at the same time amusing and interesting. He has a patience and the great understanding of goals setting, which are in my opinion essential traits for a tutor. I have had a few private tutors before, and I found Matthew attitude towards teaching highly professional and inspiring.
I would recommend Matthew to anyone looking to improve in any of the subjects that he is teaching.

I started studying with Matthew this Spring, in preparation for my AS exams. What appealed most to me about him at first is his ability to apply and explain concepts and theories through real life examples, which made the lessons very involved and interactive. In comparison to my school teachers and previous tutors Matthew’s teaching definitely is more suited for me and I find remembering things that we study together a lot easier. Notes and practice papers that he provides me with are always done to a high standard and haven’t disappointed me once. Matthew has also proven to be very flexible which is a good thing for me as my timetable changes frequently. Furthermore, the ability to have lessons at his house which has a black board for a wall and a nice working atmosphere appeals to me as diagrams and models can easily be explained/discussed on it. I’ve also had an experience of having a group lesson with Matthew’s other tutees, once, where I observed that his teaching style varies from person to person depending on their preferred learning style. When I started studying with Matthew I was an E grade for Economics, I am now somewhere between an A and a B grade and I give most of the credit for this to him.
I would highly recommend Matthew as a personal tutor to anyone who thinks that they are behind on their studies as well as to anyone who is performing well but wants to get the best grade possible.

Matthew is quite honestly a sensational tutor. He is organised, diligent and knows exactly how to help improve grades. I would unreservedly recommend him.

Matt is currently providing an excellent support to my daughter helping her beyond his way to help her get the best grades in Economics.

During the first session, Matt started systematically checking where my daughter stand in understanding of the subject and evaluating the knowledge and speed she might require to cover the syllabus. He then focussed structuring the session on step by step approach - to having a much fuller understanding of the concepts.

Matt’s approach is very professional and as a result of this my daughter has shown incredible progress and managed to obtain “A” grades in her Economics class tests in a relatively short space of time. He has made her feel more confident in her own ability.

Matt also teaches Psychology, where my daughter regularly tap into his depth knowledge. He currently assist my daughter on both subject to give her a more solid grasp of these subjects, so that she will better equipped to deal with what the exam might throw at her. He helped our daughter on going through essay writing and went through her personal statement where he discussed with her and offered advisable changes.

As a parent, Matt regularly communicates with me regarding my daughter’s progress and he has provided me with a detail report accounting focuses of all the sessions held. I couldn't ask for a better tutor to help my daughter! Thanks so much!!

Matthew has only been tutoring my son in his A level Economics for a couple of weeks but is already having an impact. He has comprehensive files of support materials and gives excellent, detailed feedback on both exam questions worked on together as well as those done in school. He has given sound advice in Psychology A level revision as well. He has high expectations in terms of work set. He seems to have lit a fuse in terms of getting my son to understand how to revise in a smart way. Highly recommended - I hope he will agree to remain tutoring him for a few extra weeks.

Matt's approach is very student centred, based on the individual and his/her learning style. He first ascertained my son's understanding of the foundations of micro and macro economics then worked closely with him to fill in the gaps and built up a composite picture. The lessons are well structured but flexible; Matt gives my son the flexibility to explore the syllabus and develop his own thinking based on real life examples of economic practice. Matt has built up a very good rapport with my son who is genuinely engaged in the tutoring sessions and has made considerable progress.
As parents we have found Matt to be responsive and reliable. I would thoroughly recommend him as a first rate tutor.

Matt is an excellent psychology tutor. Highly competent, capable of explaining complicated matters in a clear and comprehensible manner, dedicated to his student and their needs, flexibile and very approachable. Outstanding!

A very inspiring tutor and certainly knows how to motivate and mentor his student! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend him as he assisted my son in such a short space of time!!

Anyone who hires him will be very lucky indeed!!

Matthew has been excellent at helping with my CV and helped me a lot to improve it.

After my daughter's A level mock results, we asked Matthew if he could help her with 'Economics'. With only 6 weeks before her exams, Matthew planned in double sessions, and I have to say that both my wife and I were extremely pleased with the way in which our Daughter learned from Matthew. We noticed how much my daughter's understanding of the subject grew in such a short space of time.

His style is laid back to the point of not putting the student under too much pressure and I would totally recommend him to anyone who is looking for a tutor in Economics.

Thank you Matthew.

In a short period of time Matthew transformed the vision of my son towards Economics.Only few sessions boosted confidence in the subject. Very efficient, professional and result oriented. Strongly recommended.

Matt was most helpful and very supportive.

Matthew has been a phenomenal tutor who has had significant impact on my grades in a matter of months. Besides his incredible knowledge and coherent methods of teaching across his subjects, he has greatly helped me with revision technique and general approach to all my studies. Im grateful to have a such an all round ideal tutor as Matthew, and no doubt highly recommend.

We are SO grateful to Matthew for his brilliant organisation and outstanding tutoring. My son managed to lift his Economics AS grade from a D to a 'high B' with his help. We found him to be very accommodating and nothing was too much trouble - exactly what you need from a professional tutor. Thank you Matthew and see you soon.

Matt is a great tutor, he has been teaching my sister for several months now and he is very keen on helping her well with her studies. He is very punctual and dedicated to what he is doing. Matt is an excellent English and Psychology tutor who supports you and gives many examples if you do not understand a question. I would highly recommend this tutor as he gives up extra time so you understand everything. I am very confident that my sister will be getting a high grade in her exams with Matt's help.

Matthew has been helping my daughter with her AS Level Politics since the beginning of the academic year as it was a new subject for her. I've always found him to be very reliable, communicative and punctual. My daughter, importantly, likes him and her tuition sessions. She finds the hour spent supports her in her studies and that Matthew always comes to the session fully prepared. They debate subjects and she feels that she's learning a lot generally and in matters related to her exams. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend him.

Mr is able to explain things at a level my son understands. My son's confidence in economics has increased over the last few weeks.
